Wild Palm Leaf Backpack

Description

The wild palm leaf backpack is a handwoven Moroccan piece made from wild palm leaf and genuine leather, with a rustic wild palm leaf weave and leather straps.

Made from wild palm leaf, this backpack has a looser, more rustic weave, so every bag shows its own texture.

What makes this wild palm leaf backpack 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. Two leather shoulder straps let you wear it on your back, so your hands stay free for shopping, travelling or a day out.

Handwoven in Morocco from wild palm leaf and genuine leather

Moroccan craftsmanship connects the past and the present, and this piece is a small example. It is made from wild palm leaf and genuine leather, the kind of natural materials the Green Doum family has worked with since 1962. Learn more about our family business.

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.

Size and fit

The wild palm leaf backpack measures 35 × 12 × 38 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.

How to use your wild palm leaf backpack

Wear the wild palm leaf backpack for city walks, market mornings, weekend trips or festivals. Worn on the back, it keeps both hands free and sits well with light summer outfits, denim or linen.

This piece packs easily into a weekend: a wallet, phone, sunglasses and a light layer fit without feeling bulky. Slip the straps on and go.

How to care for it

Avoid soaking the palm weave of your wild palm leaf backpack. 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.
