What makes this wild palm leaf tote special
It is woven from wild palm leaf, a looser and more rustic weave than our classic doum pieces, so every item shows its own texture. The deep, open tote shape takes bulky things easily.
Braided leather handles are comfortable in the hand and add texture to the design. A hanging leather tassel adds movement and a decorative accent.
Handwoven in Morocco from wild palm leaf, doum palm and genuine leather
Every wild palm leaf tote is handmade in Morocco by local artisans from natural raw materials. The palm is woven by hand and finished with genuine leather details, so small differences in shade and shape are part of the charm. Our story goes back to 1962.
Wild palm leaf is another traditional material of Moroccan basketry. Woven loosely, it gives a textured, rustic surface that is different on every piece, with leather added 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.
Sizes, colors and fit
The wild palm leaf tote measures 36 × 14 × 36 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.
Colors available: Camel and Black. The straw stays natural while the leather sets the tone, from camel to deep black.
How to use your wild palm leaf tote
Use the wild palm leaf tote for shopping, picnics or travel days. The looser wild-palm weave gives it a casual character that goes with sandals and summer clothes.
This piece suits relaxed, natural looks: holidays, beach towns and weekend markets. The rustic texture works well with linen and cotton in neutral colors.
How to care for it
To clean the wild palm leaf tote, brush off dust with a soft brush and wipe it with a lightly damp cloth. Let it dry naturally, away from direct sun and heaters. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps the leather supple.
