Woven Raffia Open-Weave Beach Tote Bag with Matching Sunglasses Case
A woven raffia shopper with an open-weave centre panel, flared out from a flat base and carried on two woven shoulder handles. A removable matching raffia sunglasses case comes with it.
Embroidered by hand in raffia, so a run is only as long as the hands allow.
What a market stall reads first
Saturday morning at a summer market puts you shoulder to shoulder with strangers, and the bag stays at hip height the whole way down the row. Raffia reads as a holiday before you have said a word, and the open centre panel lets the light through, so the weave is visible from a stall away.
What changes is the register. A tote in woven raffia with gold-tone accents is not the thing somebody grabbed on the way out of the door; it is the thing that matches the rest of the morning. The second look finds the embroidery, and then the small case you slide your sunglasses into when you stop to talk — and that is where the bag stops being luggage and starts being a decision.
Nobody praises a raffia bag. They simply assume the holiday was planned.
Raffia embroidered by hand, open at the centre
The body is natural raffia, embroidered by hand and flared out from a flat base, so it stands on a table instead of folding over. The centre panel is left open-weave, which is where the light goes through, and the whole thing is very light in the hand.
It is unlined, so there is nothing between your hand and the weave, and an interior side chain holds the shape when the bag is empty. The gold-tone accents are kept subtle, and the matching raffia sunglasses case lifts out when you would rather carry it alone. Approx. 43 cm high and 37–55 cm wide, so a laptop or tablet goes in with room to spare.

Hand embroidery keeps the count low
Embroidery worked by hand on raffia puts a ceiling on how many exist at one time, so this is held in small quantities rather than carried on continuously. The pale tones go out faster than they come back, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose your tone above and put it in the bag. If it is wrong in daylight at home, send it back within fourteen days.
