Natural Raffia Basket Tote Bag with Wide Webbing Straps
A large basket tote woven by hand in natural raffia, with a tight coiled base and wide webbing straps. A trimmed band sits where the straps meet the body, the top is left open, and the inside is woven in the same raffia.
A coiled base takes time to work, so the lot is never a deep one.
At the gate, carrying it well
Boarding is where everyone looks at everyone, because there is nothing else to do and a queue is a line of people on display. A large woven basket on the shoulder, loaded and still holding its shape, says you travel often enough to have worked out what to carry.
The wide webbing straps are the giveaway — they sit flat and let you walk upright with a full bag instead of listing to one side. That carriage is what people actually read. Hand luggage usually makes a person look harried; this does the reverse, at the one moment everybody is watching.
Nobody says anything at the gate. Everybody clocks the bag.
A coiled base and webbing straps
The body is woven by hand in natural raffia, with the base coiled tight so it keeps its footprint under weight. The band where the straps meet the body is trimmed, and that is the join taking the strain on a loaded bag.
The straps are wide webbing rather than narrow cord, so they lie flat across the shoulder and spread the load. The top is left open, and the inside is woven in the same raffia as the outside, with nothing printed or pasted over it.

Large baskets come in small lots
A coiled base and a wide webbing join are hand work, and the larger sizes take the longest, so they are made in short lots rather than held in depth. The naturals move fastest in summer, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Put it in the bag before you plan the trip. Fourteen days to return it if it is not the size you needed.
