Natural Woven Raffia Drawstring Bucket Bag with Wide Strap
A soft pouch woven by hand in raffia, gathering at the top on a drawstring with trimmed ends. The wide woven shoulder strap clips off, and the inside is worked in the same raffia.
Woven by hand in raffia, which keeps each run small.
Among the stalls, and after
Saturday morning at a street market is close quarters: you are passing coins, holding fruit, leaning over a trestle table. The bag is on the shoulder the whole time, at the exact height where the person opposite you is looking.
Raffia woven by hand does not look bought in a hurry — the texture is visible from a pace away, and people reach out to touch it before they think about it. A stallholder will ask where it came from. Among friends it is the thing that gets mentioned when the photographs come back.
Hand work shows at close range, and that is the range that matters.
Raffia, worked by hand all the way through
The pouch is woven by hand in raffia, so the body is soft and gives against what is inside it rather than holding a hard shape. The top gathers on a drawstring whose ends are trimmed, and the weave is close enough to read as a surface rather than a mesh.
Your fingers find the wide woven strap first, broad enough to sit flat on the shoulder, and it clips off when you would rather carry the pouch by itself. The inside is worked in the same raffia, so there is no change in texture when you reach in.

Hand weaving limits the run
Every body is woven by hand, which puts a hard ceiling on how many exist at once. Raffia is also seasonal, so this is made in a run rather than carried all year, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Add it while the run is live. If the weave is not what you hoped, fourteen days to send it back.
