What makes this straw bag with wide leather closure special
A broad leather closure shows against the straw and gives it a more tailored look. The handles are long enough to wear on the shoulder as well as over the arm.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every straw bag with wide leather closure 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.
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.

How to care for it
