Round Coiled Straw Crossbody Bag with Leather Fringe Overlay

Experience the tactile charm of Moroccan craftsmanship with this round crossbody bag, handwoven by artisan weaver Dounia. The body is meticulously coiled from natural palm leaf straw, creating a textured, matte surface that feels lightweight yet sturdy in hand. A front panel of terracotta leather is intricately woven with openwork cutouts and finished with long, swaying fringe, adding movement and a bohemian spirit. The flat leather strap sits comfortably across the body or over the shoulder, making it an effortless companion for market days, festivals, or casual outings.

The contrast between the pale straw and the rich cognac leather gives this bag a warm, earthy palette that pairs beautifully with linen, denim, and summer whites. The coiled construction is not only visually striking but also durable, with each row tightly stitched to maintain the bag’s round silhouette. The leather fringe is cut by hand and attached securely, though individual strands may vary slightly in length—a sign of authentic handcraft.

Pro-Tip & Honest Trade-Offs

Natural palm straw may release a few loose fibers during the first few uses—this is normal and will subside. The leather will develop a beautiful patina over time, darkening slightly with exposure to sunlight and handling. Because the bag has an open top and no interior lining, we recommend using a small pouch or zippered organizer for valuables. The strap is not adjustable, but its drop length suits most wearers as a crossbody or shoulder bag.

Your Questions Answered

Is the bag lined?

No, the interior is unlined, revealing the authentic coiled straw texture. This keeps the bag lightweight and breathable, perfect for warm climates.

Does it have a closure?

The front leather panel is purely decorative; the bag remains open at the top. We suggest using a small drawstring pouch inside for security.

What can I fit inside?

Despite its compact appearance, the bag easily holds a smartphone, cardholder, keys, lip balm, and a pair of sunglasses.

How do I care for the straw and leather?

Spot clean the straw with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid soaking. For the leather, a natural leather conditioner can be applied sparingly. Store in a dust bag away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
