Woven Raffia Basket Beach Tote with Tan Straps and Pouch
A hand-woven raffia basket tote with a scalloped top line and a coiled weave worked in relief across the front. Two long tan shoulder straps carry it, and a matching zip pouch clips inside.
A scalloped top line is shaped by hand, which keeps the lot short.
The breakfast room, before anyone else
Hotel breakfast is the one meal where you are seen by everybody at close range and nobody is dressed. A basket set on the chair beside you, with its scalloped top line showing, does more at that hour than anything else you could have brought down with you.
Coiled relief across the front gives the eye somewhere to settle while the coffee comes. People register the scallop before they register the bag, and what they take from it is that you packed deliberately. By the second morning the staff know which guest you are.
A holiday is partly a matter of how you are seen on it.
A scalloped line, a coiled weave
The body is woven by hand in raffia, with the coil worked in relief across the front so the surface rises and falls instead of sitting flat. The top line is scalloped rather than cut straight, and that is the shape you see from across a room.
Two long tan straps mean the basket can go on the shoulder with a towel under the same arm. The matching zip pouch clips inside, so the things you would rather not have loose in a woven bag have somewhere closed to live.

Scalloped tops hold the lot back
The scalloped line and the coiled relief are both hand work, and they are what slows a lot down, so these come through in small numbers. Naturals with tan straps clear first every season, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take it now and try it against your summer things. Fourteen days to send it back if it does not sit with them.
