Description
This open weave seagrass tote bag is a light, roomy carry-all woven from natural seagrass, with two long twisted straps that let you wear it on the shoulder. The body is worked in bands, with close-woven rows at the rim and base and an open lattice weave between them that shows off the texture of the grass. It measures 47cm long, 15cm deep and 32cm high in the body, and reaches 70cm to the top of the straps. The colour is the soft, warm straw tone of the seagrass, with no print or pattern beyond the weave itself.
Weighing just 278 grams, it is easy to sling over a shoulder and carry, whether you are heading to the shops, out for a day trip or taking a book and a jumper to the park. Its long, slim oblong shape sits neatly against you as you walk, and the 15cm depth gives enough room for a folded towel, a light layer or a few groceries. At home, it makes a handy place to keep spare blankets, knitting or the post, tucked beside the sofa or hung by the back door, where its natural texture sits happily alongside wood, linen and plants.
The straps are twisted from the same seagrass and looped through the close-woven top band, and the firm rim and base help the bag hold its shape. Because the weave is open, small loose things such as keys or coins are best kept in a pouch inside. Seagrass is a natural material, so a little variation in tone and texture is part of its character. To keep it looking its best, brush off dust and grit, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth when needed and let it dry naturally away from direct heat. We like it hung from a peg by the door, ready to grab on the way out, with a scarf or cardigan folded inside.

Frequently Asked
How big is the seagrass tote bag?
The body measures 47cm long, 15cm deep and 32cm high, and the bag reaches 70cm tall to the top of its straps.
Can I wear it on my shoulder?
Yes. It has two long twisted seagrass straps, long enough to wear the bag on your shoulder rather than only carrying it in the hand.
What is the tote bag made from?
It is made from seagrass, woven into close bands at the rim and base with an open lattice weave through the middle of the bag.
Will small items fall through the open weave?
The middle of the bag has an open lattice weave, so we suggest keeping keys, coins and other small things in a pouch inside.
How heavy is the bag?
It weighs 0.278KG, about 278 grams, so it adds very little to whatever you are carrying and is easy to take out for the day.
How do I look after a seagrass bag?
As good practice for seagrass, brush off dust and grit, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth when needed and let it dry naturally away from direct heat.
