Handles for the market, strap for the walk home. Held up to a week of beach, boat and market with zero complaints from me or the bag.
S
thick even braids, no thin weak rows anywhere. the size options meant i could get one for daily and eye a bigger one for travel
H
The braiding draws eyes, deserved. Shoulder carry is comfortable even bare armed in summer.
J

No scratchy bits

Hands free market runs. It has that effortless holiday look but survives regular city use fine.
F
adds interest to plain outfits instantly

the medium is exactly between too big too small. raffia feels tightly done, no loose ends poking out anywhere
Z
买了中号灰色，编织很密实，草有韧性不扎手。斜挎带很实用，周末去海边背也不心疼
P
hard to pick, all the shades are good.
S
Smooth strands, no splinters, no prickle.

swallows a beach towel and then some

Got the small in black for evenings. Its the same bucket shape just handbag sized. Strap makes it crossbody
A
Springs back overnight.

Its the saturday bag now, permanently. My phone and wallet settle low in the bottom so nothing shows from above.
B
bought small for my daughter and large for me. same look, honestly both get used more than our leather bags right now.

as pictured.
L
sat in sand all day, splashed a little, shook it out, wiped the strap, went to dinner. no drama.
X
Juice spill wiped off the outside, sand everywhere shaken out, one toddler sat IN it. Still round. Buy the large.
S
loaded it with wine bottles and books, base held flat

raffia is smooth against bare arms, no prickle. my old straw tote was basically sandpaper by comparison.
A
You can feel each braid is fat and even
H
a few little ends poked out the first week. snipped them like the care note says and its been tidy since. part of handmade i guess but worth knowing.
Exactly right, and thanks for reading the care note before worrying. A stray end or two is the braid settling in. Trim flush, never pull, and it stays tidy.
H
the strap stripe against the black raffia is sharp. everything about it reads intentional
E
Grassy smell out of the bag.
E
big enough for a cardigan and lunch, not so big i look like im moving house. the strap plus handles combo is properly useful. the two short handles tuck away when im using the strap, no dangling.
N
grey small for the win
T
Stands round on its own, doesnt slump. That alone puts it above every straw bag ive owned.
