{"product_id":"hand-woven-raffia-market-tote","title":"The Hand-Woven Raffia Market Tote","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou're at the farmers' market with a flat white in one hand and three peaches in the other. You need somewhere to put things that doesn't look like a plastic bag and doesn't weigh like a leather tote. You need this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Laizhou, on the coast of Shandong, raffia weaving is a trade passed down through families — not a trend picked up last summer. This tote comes from that tradition. Each one is hand-woven from continuous strands of premium raffia by artisans who have been doing this for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can feel the difference. The weave is tight — closer to crochet than basket-weaving — and the handles are woven directly into the structure. No glue. No stitching where it counts. Just fiber and practiced hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaffia isn't straw. It contains natural resins that keep it flexible, smooth, and tough. It won't crack under sun. It won't snag a silk dress. Stuff it with towels, a book, a bottle of wine, your market haul — it holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmpty, it folds flat in a suitcase. Full, it stands on its own. That's the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll stop thinking of it as \"the nice bag.\" It becomes the bag. Saturday market. Sunday beach. Tuesday errands. The one you reach for when you want to carry everything and look like you're carrying nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildfool","offers":[{"title":"Natural","offer_id":52995157066093,"sku":"WF26CARR002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/9978\/4301\/files\/wf26carr002-hand-woven-raffia-market-tote-undyed_natural-front_eeae9173-367d-4d61-aedd-5564b9d99d88.jpg?v=1770036978","url":"https:\/\/wildfool.life\/products\/hand-woven-raffia-market-tote","provider":"Wildfool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
