£49.99
Thanom Straw Raffia Natural Wicker Handcrafted Water Hyacinth Thai Bag. Each Designer Shoulder Bag bag is painstakingly woven by hand by our trained Thai bag artisans, who spend an average of 15 to 24 hours on each one. All of our Eco-Friendly Handbags and accessories are made by our expert weavers with your absolute best self in mind. Every member of our team of craftspeople is dedicated to excelling in their craft. Water hyacinth and Krajood Seagrass are only two of the eco-friendly elements that go into making our Wicker Bags. The plant is grown in Thailand, where it is picked, dried, and turned into a straw, which is then used by master craftspeople to make your beautiful new bag. Trained artisans in Thailand combine centuries-old weaving techniques from the north with water hyacinth plants and from the south with Krajood seagrass to create one-of-a-kind, hand-dyed, and hand-woven works of art. Despite the region's long history of weaving, most weavers today struggle to make a living. Water hyacinth and seagrass are two invasive plants that have wreaked havoc on Thailand's canals and waterways. Since the water route is obscured by overgrown vegetation, the area is at a greater risk of flooding. Weavers in a Thai village have figured out how to make a beautiful fabric from the deadly plant they've been using for hundreds of years. Local communities in Thailand weave each Straw Bag utilising techniques that have been passed down through the years. We pay 50% of the total cost for airfreight and ship all of our Handmade Straw Bags using EMS Thailand Post monitored services or DHL Worldwide. Depending on the customer's location in the world, direct delivery from Thailand can take anywhere from five days to ten days.
