A Handwoven Straw Tote for Easy Summer Days

It is woven by hand from natural straw fibre in a warm tan tone called Rafi Herbal. Because it is a real natural material rather than a smooth synthetic, the weave is visible across the body and the colour shifts gently from one bag to the next. A few fibres may sit a little loose here and there, which is part of the handmade character rather than a fault.

By the two short rounded handles that rise from the rim of the bag. You can hold them in your hand or rest the bag on the bend of your arm, and they sit ready at the top so the bag is quick to grab off a hook or a chair. The handles keep their shape against the soft straw body, which makes it an easy everyday summer carry.

The open trapeze body widens toward the top and stays roomy, so it comfortably takes a towel, cosmetics, a phone, keys and a wallet for a day out. It carries more like a generous tote or beach bag than a small city purse, so it suits beach days and market runs especially well. If you prefer a compact bag for short errands, keep that larger, open size in mind before ordering.

It comes in one natural tone, Rafi Herbal, which is a warm tan straw, and in one size. Keeping the choice to a single colour and size makes ordering simple, and the neutral tan pairs easily with linen, cotton and bright summer outfits. As it is natural fibre, the exact shade can vary slightly between bags, so small differences from the photos are normal.

Yes. The light straw body and roomy open top make it a natural beach bag, with space for a towel, sunscreen and the rest of your day. The same easy shape works for market runs and warm weekend strolls, so it moves from sand to street without feeling out of place. Because it is a larger summer tote rather than a small handbag, it is best for days when you want to carry a little more.

Keep it simple. Brush off sand or dust and let the bag air, and wipe any mark gently with a barely damp cloth rather than soaking it. Store it loosely stuffed so it keeps its open trapeze shape, and let it dry fully if it ever gets damp at the beach. Treated kindly, the natural fibre keeps its warm tan look across the summer and into the next.
