Handwoven Tassel Straw Bucket Bag with Top Handles and Shoulder Strap

Run your fingers over the surface of this handwoven tassel straw bag, and you’ll immediately feel the textured, matte finish of natural palm leaf fibers. The alternating bands of plain weave and rows of soft, fibrous tassels create a rhythmic, tactile pattern that’s as pleasing to touch as it is to look at. A fringe trim along the top rim adds movement, while the bucket silhouette keeps the design grounded and practical.

Handcrafted by artisan weaver Dounia, each bag carries the subtle variations of handwork—no two are exactly alike. The natural tan and off-white stripes are achieved by weaving undyed fibers, giving the piece an organic, sun-bleached look that pairs effortlessly with warm-weather wardrobes.

Design & Carry Options

This bag offers two distinct ways to carry. Short top handles are wrapped in cream-colored fabric for a comfortable grip, while a thick, twisted rope shoulder strap attaches through silver-tone metal grommets. The strap is long enough for crossbody wear, leaving your hands free for market browsing or beach strolls. The open bucket shape makes it easy to toss in a towel, book, or daily essentials without fussing with zippers.

Pro-Tip

Natural palm straw may shed a few fibers during the first few uses. This is completely normal and will diminish over time. To minimize shedding, avoid overloading the bag and gently shake it out after each outing. The tassels and fringe are securely attached, but a light hand is recommended to keep them looking their best.

Your Questions Answered

Is the bag lined?

No, the interior is intentionally left unlined to preserve the lightweight, breathable character of the straw. If you carry small items like keys or lip balm, we recommend using a small pouch or zippered bag inside.

What can I fit inside?

The generous bucket design easily holds a water bottle, sunscreen, a paperback, and a light scarf. It’s ideal for beach days, farmers’ markets, or casual outings where you want to carry more than just the essentials.

How do I clean the bag?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or submerge in water, as this can weaken the natural fibers.

Can the shoulder strap be removed?

Yes, the twisted rope strap is attached via metal grommets and can be easily detached if you prefer to use only the top handles.
