Large Natural Raffia Market Bag With Leather Handles - 28¾"

Patricia's faithful market companion — a generously sized raffia bag that has accompanied her to countless market stalls over the decades. Woven in natural raffia with a warm honey tone, it has the satisfying density of good handcraft: tightly worked, structured at the base, and flaring gently toward the open top. A fine striped cotton lining gives the interior a neat, considered finish, while the rich tan leather handles are supple and well-worn. The bag is genuinely capacious. It sits flat and holds its shape whether empty or loaded, which, as Patricia will tell you, is precisely the problem. Patricia laughs that it's a great light bag — you fill it with heavy things, and then it gets so heavy that you find yourself thinking, "What am I doing? Why didn't I bring the cart?" Today, this bag works just as well for a farmers' market run, a beach day or a weekend away as it did on all those earlier adventures. Hang it on a hook by the door and it will be the first thing you reach for — until, inevitably, it's too full to lift.
