Handmade from densely woven 100% natural premium sisal rope, this stretchy French Provincial style shopping tote is perfect for market days and beach holidays.
Please note that this is a one-off design made from a natural sisal rope that is 2-3mm thick. It is completely free from chemicals, environmentally sensitive, sustainable and also ethically sourced and made by a Free Trade Enterprise.
Sisal twine is a tough natural fibre that is valued for its strength, durability, ability to stretch, and resistance to deterioration in saltwater. It has a light natural straw colouring. It is resistant, supple, and flexible. With use, the bag will take on a much stretchier and slouchier appearance.
Please note that being a natural fibre, sisal has a distinctive aroma of straw, grass and tiny loose fibres that flake off. The fibre has different width, thickness and is naturally uneven. Therefore no 2 bags are ever the same and each one is unique.
This bag comes with dark brown coloured Vegan leather handles which you can unknot and remove. It can be used as a shopping bag, handbag, carry bag or draped over the shoulder or in the crook of the elbow as a short handbag. Alternatively, try substituting or accessorising with a scarf for that romantic Parisian style.
This extra large bag is made from over 100m of natural sisal and measures 37cm (14.56") in width. The height of the bag from the highest point to the bottom of the bag is 29cm (11.41"). The bag is 5cm (1.96") thick. The leather handles measures 13cm (5.11") from the highest point to the top of the opening of the bag.
Being an organic natural fibre, the bag will stretch and soften with use, taking on a considerably stretchier and slouchier look. Like a favourite old pair of jeans, it's shape improves with age. Please note that the weave on this particular bag is larger and therefore the bag will stretch considerably more. This will be great in particular for carrying your beach towels, books and sunscreen to the beach. Or carrying fruits, vegetables and bread on market days. Please note that given the large weave, smaller items like keys, pens and small chain may fall out if they are not properly secured in a pouch or ziplock bag.
If the tote gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally. Sisal can be placed in direct sunlight to dry. Please do not place bag in the washing machine or dryer.
I began making these for myself because I fell in love with the minimalist straw bags that the French women used on market days. Living in Brisbane where we average 261 days of sunshine and blue skies per year, I love how my easy carry-all matches so effortlessly with my uniform of summer dresses and straw hats.
