Namwan Straw Coastal Tassel Beach Bag

£59.99

The Namwan Straw Coastal Tassel Beach Bag is a cheerful, handmade beach tote built for sunny escapes, tropical holidays, beach brunches, and laid-back coastal days. This vegan straw bag features a square silhouette, floral embroidery, stacked ocean-tone tassels, and a sky-blue satin bow for a fresh and eye-catching finish.

Whether you call it a beach purse, coastal tote, or holiday handbag, Namwan brings the playful side of summer to life.

Women artisans in Northern Thailand handweave each tote using sun-dried water hyacinth straw. They coil and stitch every strand tightly to create a durable rectangular body. A cut-out handle makes it easy to carry, while the inside has room for your phone, scarf, sun lotion, wallet, and a good book. Layered tassels add breezy movement — light, carefree, and totally beach ready. Whether you’re walking barefoot on the sand or heading out for brunch in town, Namwan fits the mood. It's plastic-free, vegan, and completely customisable — you can change the bow, add a lining, or personalise the embroidery.
