The solid, flat-woven base provides a stable foundation, so the bag stands upright even when empty. Two sturdy wrapped top handles sit comfortably in hand or over the shoulder, and the braided rim adds a refined finish that prevents fraying.

The Artisan Behind Your Bag

This straw shopper bag is woven by Dounia, our master straw artisan, who has spent decades perfecting the traditional Moroccan techniques passed down through her family. Each bag reflects her skill in balancing openwork patterns with structural integrity—no two are exactly alike, yet all share the same reliable build.

A Note on Natural Materials

Because the straw is untreated and handwoven, you may notice a few tiny fibers shedding during the first few uses. This is completely normal and will diminish over time. The matte, textured surface will also develop a subtle patina with exposure to sunlight and handling, adding character unique to your bag.

Your Questions Answered

Is this bag lined?

No, the bag is intentionally unlined to keep it lightweight and breathable. Small items like keys or coins may poke through the mesh, so we recommend using a pouch or organizer for valuables.

Will it fit a laptop?

At 12 x 19 inches, the bag is spacious enough for a towel, sunscreen, and a book, but it is not designed to hold a laptop securely. The open weave and lack of padding make it better suited for leisure outings.

How do I clean the straw?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the bag, as prolonged moisture can weaken the fibers. Let it air dry completely before storing.

Can I carry it over my shoulder?

The handles have a drop of about 6 inches, which fits comfortably in hand or over the forearm. For shoulder carry, the bag may sit snugly under the arm depending on your build.
