FAQ

Questions before checkout

What is the bag made of?
It is crocheted by hand in an open raffia weave, a natural paper straw fiber that stays light and breezy in the heat. The soft body settles into an easy slouchy bucket shape as you carry it, and the handwoven texture gives it a warm summer look that reads handmade rather than mass produced.
How do I carry it?
The bag has a single wide woven strap that forms one shoulder loop, so you slip it over your shoulder and go. There is nothing to clip on or adjust. The soft body sits close against your side, and because the top is open you can reach in for your phone or keys without unfastening anything.
Does it have a closure?
It is an open top shoulder bag made for easy reach rather than a zipped close, so it suits the things you like to grab quickly on the way out. The top opens wide and the soft raffia body holds your essentials together as you move, settling into shape around what you carry.
How much does it hold?
The soft bucket body comfortably holds a phone, sunglasses, a small wallet, keys and a few extras for a day out. It is sized as a light summer carry rather than a large tote, so it stays easy on the shoulder while keeping your daily essentials within easy reach.
What colors can I choose?
Seven summer tones: natural beige, black, navy blue, grey, pink trumpet, mustard orange and bright red. Each colorway is made in the same airy handwoven raffia weave with the single woven shoulder strap, so you can pick a neutral or a brighter shade to suit your summer outfits.
Is it good for the beach or the market?
Yes. The light raffia weave and soft body make it an easy grab for beach days, market runs and warm weather errands. It carries your essentials without weighing you down, and the natural handwoven look pairs with linen dresses, denim shorts and everything in between through the summer.
How do I keep it looking good?
Spot clean the raffia with a soft dry brush or a lightly damp cloth and let it air dry, which lifts everyday dust while keeping the weave even. Keep it out of heavy rain, and reshape the soft body gently by hand between uses so it holds its natural slouchy summer form over time.
Is each bag handmade?
Yes. Each bag is crocheted by hand in the raffia weave, so small natural variations in the texture and tone are part of the handmade character rather than a fault. That handwork is what gives the bag its soft, warm summer look and its light, breezy feel on the shoulder.
