What makes this straw bag with shoulder strap special
Flat leather handles spread the load, so they stay comfortable even when it is full. A leather strap lets you carry it on the shoulder.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Moroccan craftsmanship connects the past and the present, and this piece is a small example. It is made from doum palm and genuine leather, the kind of natural materials the Green Doum family has worked with since 1962. Learn more about our family business.
Doum palm is one of the traditional raw materials of Moroccan craftsmanship, alongside date palm leaves and rush. It weaves into a light, natural-looking fabric, and the leather adds strength where the piece is handled.
Weaving baskets from plant fibres is one of the oldest crafts in the world and is found in many cultures; for a general overview, see this page on basket weaving.
The leather is genuine leather: it softens and darkens naturally with use, so your piece gains character over time.
Size and fit
The straw bag with shoulder strap measures 28 × 16 × 30 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.
How to use your straw bag with shoulder strap
The straw bag with shoulder strap is a roomy everyday bag: use it for work days, errands or weekend outings. It pairs naturally with linen, denim and cotton in any season.
Carry this piece to the market, on a city break or to a summer lunch. The natural palm and leather work with both casual and smarter outfits.
How to care for it
Avoid soaking the palm weave of your straw bag with shoulder strap. If it gets wet, shake off the water, shape it by hand and dry it flat in the shade. When you are not using it, stuff it lightly with paper and store it away from damp.
