Coloured & Dyed Seagrass Bags & Purses

Coloured & Dyed Seagrass Bags & Purses: Handmade Women’s Woven Bags in Botanical, Designer-Inspired Shades

Coloured & dyed seagrass bags & purses bring bold creativity to handmade style. These natural bags are crafted from sun-dried seagrass and then dyed using vibrant, plant-based or mineral-rich colours. Unlike typical accessories, they combine texture with tone—turning everyday carry items into unique statements. Whether you prefer earthy greens, soft pastels, or rich jewel tones, there’s a colour to suit every style. Our range includes clutches, totes, shoulder bags, and mini purses, each made by women artisans in Thailand using traditional weaving techniques. These bags are not only eco-friendly and plastic-free but also offer a splash of personality for those who want more than neutral tones. If you love fashion that’s colourful, natural, and rooted in craft, this collection was made for you.

Why Dyed Seagrass is Perfect for Everyday Style

Adding colour to natural seagrass creates a balance between tradition and modern taste. While the base material offers strength and breathability, the dye brings personality and flair. Each dyed seagrass purse is individually coloured, so no two bags look the same. The uneven tone, often celebrated as a mark of true craftsmanship, gives each piece its own visual rhythm. Unlike synthetic bags, dyed seagrass options remain lightweight and comfortable in warm weather. They can be styled with basics to add contrast or matched with bold outfits for harmony. Additionally, the hand-dyeing process uses low-impact materials, making the colour eco-conscious. Discover your shade in our coloured and dyed straw bag collection designed to inspire individuality.

How Seagrass is Dyed by Hand

The colouring process for dyed seagrass bags begins long before weaving. After harvest, seagrass is sun-dried, then soaked in naturally derived dyes made from leaves, bark, clay, or mineral pigments. Artisans control the saturation by adjusting soak time and layering techniques. Once the desired colour is achieved, the seagrass is re-dried and shaped into coils or strips for weaving. This ensures the colour penetrates deeply, allowing it to last without artificial fixatives. Because everything is done by hand, subtle variations in tone are expected—and celebrated. These variations prove the authenticity of each bag and connect it back to its maker. To learn more about this process, browse our handmade straw bags created using traditional, sustainable methods.

Popular Colours and Their Seasonal Uses

Colour is seasonal, and your coloured seagrass bag can reflect your mood or the time of year. During spring, pastel shades like blush, lilac, or sage add softness to light outfits. In summer, coral, turquoise, and yellow brighten everything from swimwear to dresses. For autumn, burnt orange, olive green, and mustard tones blend with layered outfits and boots. Winter styles benefit from rich jewel colours—think deep burgundy, navy, and charcoal grey. Because seagrass takes on colour in a warm, organic way, dyed bags never feel harsh. They carry pigment gently, offering sophistication without artificial shine. If you’re planning your wardrobe around the season, shop our eco-friendly straw bags to coordinate with your colours.

Matching Dyed Bags with Outfits and Accessories

Dyed seagrass purses are easy to pair with both neutrals and prints. When wearing denim, linen, or cotton, a bright bag adds a pop of energy. With floral dresses or patterned outfits, use a pastel bag to echo one of the tones. You can also match coloured bags to nail polish, sandals, or headbands for a pulled-together look. Many of our customers use coordinating bags for casual days, then switch to neutral tones for evening. Mixing warm and cool tones is also effective—pairing a peach bag with teal earrings, for example. The versatility of colour in natural fibre lets you experiment without overwhelming your outfit. For style options across silhouettes, explore our tote and shoulder straw bags in a full colour range.

Customisation Options for Dyed Seagrass Bags

You can customise your coloured seagrass bag in several ways. Start by choosing your colour—ranging from natural shades to bold plant-dyed tones. Add embroidery with names or phrases in a complementary thread. Select your interior lining fabric or request a contrast colour for the handle wrap. Personalised orders receive a free digital mockup so you can see your design before production begins. These bags are popular for birthdays, bridal parties, holidays, and giveaways. Custom orders also support direct artisan income, since the work is paid per piece and includes extra detail. For more tailored creations, visit our personalised straw bag section and start designing something that reflects your style.

Coloured Mini Bags for Everyday Use

Smaller doesn’t mean less impact. Mini dyed seagrass bags are ideal for carrying keys, lip balm, cards, and cash. These bags work well for school runs, coffee breaks, and errands where you don’t need a full-sized tote. Many feature wristlet handles or crossbody straps for convenience. Coloured mini bags also add personality to minimalist looks. If you’re wearing basics like a tee and jeans, a bright pop of pink, blue, or orange finishes the outfit. They’re also ideal for gifting. Shop our small and mini straw bags to explore options that balance size, colour, and character.

Using Dyed Seagrass for Weddings and Events

Coloured and dyed seagrass purses work surprisingly well for weddings and special events. Their natural base offers charm, while the colour adds playfulness and theme cohesion. Bridesmaids can carry pastel clutch bags with embroidered initials. Brides may choose a coloured basket for dried flower confetti or vow cards. These bags also appear in styled photo shoots thanks to their texture and customisable detail. If you’re planning a boho, beach, or outdoor event, seagrass blends beautifully with dried florals, rattan furniture, and woven decor.

Sustainability and Ethical Colouring Practices

Our partners use plant and mineral sources to achieve beautiful tones without toxic runoff. In addition, each bag is made by hand in rural Thai communities, providing work, stability, and opportunity for women. By choosing coloured straw over synthetic plastic, you’re not only making a style statement—you’re joining a growing movement for sustainable design.

Add a matching hair clip, soap, or notebook for a themed bundle. These bags are popular for birthdays, Mother’s Day, and thank-you gifts for teachers or hosts. They’re beautiful on their own or as part of a larger gift package. Plus, they offer ongoing use—long after the celebration ends. When you give something handmade, colourful, and practical, it leaves a lasting impression. For gift sets and bulk options, check out our decorative straw bags.

How to Store and Care for Dyed Seagrass Bags

Coloured straw needs just a little care to look its best. Store your dyed seagrass bags in a dry area away from prolonged sun exposure to prevent fading. When not in use, fill them with soft cloth or tissue to hold their shape. Avoid soaking the bag—if it gets wet, dry it naturally in shade. For dust or marks, gently brush or wipe the surface. If your bag has embroidery, take care not to rub the detailing. With occasional care, these bags will keep their structure and colour vibrancy for years. Their durability is part of what makes them sustainable.

Seagrass Bags in Creative and Artisan Markets

In artisan fairs, maker markets, and creative pop-ups, coloured seagrass bags have gained real popularity. Shoppers love their tactile weave and unexpected palette. Unlike mass-produced bags, each item tells a story—from the harvest to the weave to the dye bath. If you’re a boutique buyer or someone looking for creative stock, these bags offer shelf appeal and ethical value. They also photograph well for social media.

The dyes, whether botanical or mineral-based, create contrast and highlight the texture in new ways. Deep colours like navy or maroon bring out the grain and form of the weave. Lighter tones like rose or seafoam give the bags a playful, modern identity. This balance of tradition and trend creates pieces that feel rooted but current. You carry not just a colour, but a culture. When dyed with care and woven with purpose, each bag becomes a celebration of heritage in a wearable format. If you value craft as much as colour, our handmade collection is a great place to explore the fusion of old techniques and modern taste.
