What makes this straw shoulder bag with leather flap special
The flap has a scalloped edge, a graceful detail that sets this bag apart from plainer shapes. A metal twist lock fastens the flap securely and adds a touch of shine against the pale palm.
The long leather strap goes across the body and leaves both hands free.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Green Doum is a family craft business created in 1962 by Moroccan craftsman Lhaj Mohamed, who started in a small store in the medina. Today the family still makes baskets and bags from natural raw materials, and this piece is part of that story. You can read more on our About us page.
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 shoulder bag with leather flap measures 32 × 6 × 23 cm (length × width × height). The slim depth keeps it flat against the body.

How to care for it
Keep your straw shoulder bag with leather flap dry and store it somewhere with air around it. Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid prolonged moisture and direct heat. The leather softens and darkens naturally with use.
