What makes this open square straw bag special
The open weave keeps it light and ventilated, which suits towels, fruit and beach gear. A leather strap lets you carry it on the shoulder.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every open square straw bag 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.
Sizes, colors and fit
The open square straw bag measures 30 × 20 × 32 cm (length × width × height). The generous depth gives you room for bulkier items.
Colors available: Brown, Camel, Natural and Black. The straw stays natural while the leather sets the tone, from warm brown to deep black.
How to use your open square straw bag
Carry the open square straw bag to the market, on a city break or to a summer lunch. The natural palm and leather work with both casual and smarter outfits.
This piece is a roomy everyday bag: use it for work days, errands or weekend outings. It pairs naturally with linen, denim and cotton in any season.
How to care for it
To clean the open square straw bag, 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.
