Handmade Wicker Vegan Straw Basket Bag for Women - Eco-Friendly Beach Tote & Summer Purse - Perfect for Picnics, Shopping & Vacation - Made in Portugal

Created by the same hands that harvest the reed in the fields of Coruche in central Portugal, each basket bag is hand woven using traditional methods passed down for generations by a family of master artisans. Classic yet contemporary, our straw shoulder bag is hand woven with organic reed in its natural color, embellished with soft blue-tanned leather and adorned with golden hardware. Its adjustable shoulder strap gives it versatility that allows you to use it as a crossbody for a casual day in the city, or as a shoulder purse on a special event where everyone will look at you for good reason. But don't think this is just a summer bag, because on the cloudiest days, this purse is the perfect bet to make your day brighter.The reed body of these handbags is delicate but robust, this means that it can withstand some abuse but extra care is needed when using your basket bag. Clean your purse once a month with a dry cloth and beeswax to hydrate your basket and to maintain its natural beauty. When not in use, before storing it, place a generous dose of beeswax and keep your basket away from poorly ventilated areas. Store it in a cloth bag in a dry place where air circulates, for example, on a hanger or in an open closet, never closed.
