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.
Sizes, colors and fit
The black straw handbag measures 30 × 6 × 22 cm (length × width × height). The slim depth keeps it flat against the body.
This version comes in black.
How to use your black straw handbag
Use the black straw handbag as an everyday small bag or as a summer evening bag. Its natural palm texture pairs well with linen, cotton and simple dresses.
This piece is made for days when you travel light. Phone, wallet, keys and sunglasses fit comfortably, and the shape suits cafés, markets and evenings out.
How to care for it
Avoid soaking the palm weave of your black straw handbag. 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.
