Natural Crocheted Raffia Hobo Shoulder Bag with Tan Trim
A long shoulder bag crocheted in raffia and trimmed in tan, closing on a zip along the top, with a canvas lining and a zipped pocket inside.
Crocheted in a small batch, in a single natural shade.
At a poolside lunch, out of doors
Lunch by a pool is all bare arms and strong light, and there is very little on anybody to look at except what they brought. The bag goes on the back of a chair or flat on the table, at the centre of a small group, for an hour and a half.
Raffia in strong light shows every stitch, so hand crochet is obvious and so is the absence of it. Tan trim around the edges keeps it from looking like holiday tat, and the zip tells people it is a proper bag rather than a basket. Someone at the table will ask about it before the plates are cleared.
Being asked is the measure of it.
Crocheted raffia, trimmed and zipped
The body is crocheted in raffia, worked long rather than deep, and trimmed in tan along the edges so the shape holds its outline. A zip runs along the top, which is unusual on a raffia bag and is the reason it can be filled without spilling.
Inside, the lining is canvas rather than raffia, with a zipped pocket for the things you do not want loose. It comes with a shoulder strap and a longer strap that clips off, so the length can change between the table and the walk back.

Crochet, and the length of a season
Each body is crocheted before it can be trimmed and zipped, so the batch size is set by how many hands are working and not by how many are wanted. Summer batches are not repeated to order, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Add it to your bag now rather than at the end of the season. Fourteen days to return or exchange.
