Natural Raffia Crochet Basket Beach Bag with Tan Straps
A small basket tote crocheted by hand in raffia, open at the top and carried on two long tan shoulder straps. The weave is worked in bands, so the surface reads as texture rather than as a flat panel.
Crocheted in bands by hand, which is why the lot is a small one.
A private view, and the small bag
Galleries are quiet rooms where people stand still and look sideways, and a small bag on a long strap stays at hip height for the whole hour. It is in the frame of every conversation you have standing up, about thirty centimetres from the hand holding your glass.
Crochet worked in bands catches gallery lighting in rows, and at that range the eye reads craft rather than purchase. Small bags get looked at harder than large ones, because there is less of them to look at. What comes back is a second glance, and then a warmer opening line.
In a room full of looking, that is the useful kind of attention.
Crochet, worked in bands
Raffia crocheted by hand, with the weave worked in bands so the surface steps instead of running flat. At this size the stitch is the whole structure — the shape comes from the crochet rather than from anything stiffened inside it.
The two tan straps are long, so the bag can sit at the hip without being shortened. The top is left open, which is the point of a small bag at an evening thing: one hand in, one hand out, nothing to work through in a crowd.

Banded crochet, made in small lots
Working a weave in bands by hand is slower than a plain stitch, so these come through in small lots, and the small sizes go first because they suit every evening out. A return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Add it now while the lot is open. Fourteen days to send it back if it is smaller than you want.
