What makes this straw backpack with leather pocket special
Two leather shoulder straps let you wear it on your back, so your hands stay free for shopping, travelling or a day out. A leather pocket on the front keeps keys, phone or tickets within reach instead of sinking to the bottom.
Its slim profile keeps it close to the body, which makes it easy to wear in a crowd or on public transport. The leather straps are adjustable, so you can set the fit to your height.
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 straw backpack with leather pocket measures 35 × 8 × 37 cm (length × width × height). The slim depth keeps it flat against the body.
Colors available: Camel and Natural. The straw stays natural while the leather sets the tone, from camel to light natural.
How to use your straw backpack with leather pocket
The straw backpack with leather pocket packs easily into a weekend: a wallet, phone, sunglasses and a light layer fit without feeling bulky. Slip the straps on and go.
Wear this piece 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.
How to care for it
Avoid soaking the palm weave of your straw backpack with leather pocket. 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.
