Kids’ & Children’s Straw Bags & Purses: Mini Woven Totes, Cute Summer Crossbodies & Eco-Friendly Gifts for Little Ones
There’s something joyful about seeing a child carry their own straw bag. It’s not just cute – it’s empowering. A straw purse lets children express their personality, practice independence, and enjoy having something made just for them. That’s why our collection blends playfulness with purpose.
Each bag is handwoven by Thai artisans using eco-friendly fibres like seagrass, water hyacinth, and palm leaf. They’re soft to the touch and completely safe for children. We only use natural dyes, avoiding plastics and sharp hardware entirely. Whether for beach trips, weddings, or everyday fun, these bags are designed to support little explorers in style.
From pastel totes to animal-shaped crossbodies, every design balances comfort and creativity. We believe kids deserve beautiful, functional accessories that will last. With each piece slightly unique, these aren’t just bags—they’re companions to joyful, lasting memories.
Beautiful Straw Bags for Mother & Child Moments
Each straw bag in our children’s collection is more than just an accessory—it’s a reflection of care and culture. These bags are lovingly handwoven by Thai artisans using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.
The natural materials we use—like water hyacinth, palm leaf, and seagrass—are safe, biodegradable, and ideal for young users. As a result, our straw bags are soft, lightweight, and durable enough for daily use.
They’re especially perfect for matching with mum. Whether you’re heading to a family picnic or a holiday getaway, our mother-daughter sets offer a beautiful, coordinated style. These pieces add joy and unity to your everyday adventures.
Why Straw Bags Are Perfect for Children
Straw bags are ideal for little ones who crave independence. They offer the perfect size, texture, and weight for small hands, allowing children to take pride in carrying their essentials.
Made from plant-based fibres, these bags are naturally breathable and soft. There are no rough edges, and the handles are designed for comfort. Children love choosing their favourite shapes and colours—from animal designs to rainbow themes.
These bags give them a sense of ownership. Whether they’re carrying pocket money, beach toys, or a snack for the park, straw bags become an extension of their daily adventures. Plus, they’re fully customisable with names or initials.
Handmade With Care in Rural Thailand
Behind every children’s straw bag is a Thai artisan weaving with purpose and pride. These women work from home or in small studios using local materials, supporting their families while preserving cultural knowledge.
Our process avoids machinery completely. Fibres are sun-dried, hand-twisted, and woven with patience and precision. This slow approach creates strong, flexible bags that retain their charm and shape over time.
When your child carries one of our bags, they’re holding a meaningful story—one woven with heritage, respect, and hands-on skill. It’s not just a fashion item; it’s a connection between your family and ours.
Popular Children’s Bag Styles for Every Occasion
We offer a wide variety of kids’ straw bags to match every mood, age, and occasion. For toddlers, soft-edged mini totes are gentle and safe. Slightly older kids love crossbody designs with adjustable straps for extra mobility.
Animal-shaped bags—like bunnies, bears, or butterflies—are always a hit. They spark imagination and make children feel excited to show off their own accessory.
Our personalised options are ideal for birthdays, holidays, or special events. From stitched initials to themed trims, each design adds something extra. These are the kinds of gifts that children remember.
Ideal for Beach Days, Playdates, and Picnics
Our straw bags are practical as well as pretty. They’re ideal for all the mini-missions of childhood—like beach days, playdates, and family picnics. Lightweight and breathable, they’re easy to carry and won’t trap sand or moisture.
Parents love that they’re easy to shake out and wipe clean. Kids love that they’re roomy enough for essentials like snacks, sunglasses, or a favourite toy.
Whether they’re heading to the park or tagging along on errands, these bags help children feel prepared, stylish, and proud to be just like mum or dad.

Our team works closely with you to get the design right. You’ll receive a preview before shipping, and we’ll make sure every detail feels perfect.
Adding a name, date, or special colour turns a beautiful bag into a lasting memory. It’s more than a product—it’s a personalised piece of joy.
How to Care for Children’s Straw Bags & Purses
Our straw bags are made to last, but a little care helps extend their beauty. Store them in a dry place, avoid soaking, and wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
If the shape gets flattened during travel, just reshape it with your hands and leave it to sit overnight. Don’t expose them to excess weight or moisture for long periods.
With this basic care, your child’s bag will stay looking beautiful, season after season.
Straw Bags That Grow With Your Child
These bags are designed to adapt. Younger children may use them for snacks and small toys. As they grow, the same bag might hold books, crayons, or souvenirs from a holiday.
Thanks to their classic style and reliable structure, these bags last well beyond toddlerhood. We’ve heard stories from parents who keep them as keepsakes or pass them on to siblings.
They’re not just accessories—they’re part of your child’s story.
Why Every Child Deserves a Bag Made with Love
Every child deserves something made just for them. Our straw bags offer that magic—woven by hand, packed with intention, and personalised for joy.
When a child sees their name on a bag or finds one in their favourite colour, it sparks excitement. It’s theirs. And that feeling sticks.
Our mission is to keep things simple, natural, and full of heart. These bags do exactly that.
