Chada Ladies Straw Raffia Eco-Friendly Vegan Bag
Chada Straw Raffia Eco-Friendly Vegan Bag – Handmade, Personal and Planet-Friendly
The Chada Ladies Straw Raffia Eco-Friendly Vegan Bag blends creativity and tradition into one beautiful statement piece. Its vibrant embroidery and handcrafted lettering make it ideal for gifting or everyday use. Designed with heart, this lightweight tote lets your personality shine while supporting Thai artisans and sustainable fashion.
Handwoven in Thailand by Talented Women
Every Chada bag is handcrafted by women weavers in rural Northern Thailand. These skilled artisans often work from home using heritage weaving methods passed down through generations. It takes between 24 and 36 hours to complete each piece—no two bags are ever exactly the same. This uniqueness adds soul and authenticity to every stitch.
Eco-Friendly Straw & Raffia from Nature
Crafted with natural raffia straw, this bag is both biodegradable and sustainably sourced. Raffia is a resilient, flexible material harvested from palm leaves, known for its softness and earth-friendly properties. The use of plant-based fibres reflects our commitment to sustainable, vegan fashion. You’re choosing style that doesn’t compromise the planet.
Personalisation That Tells Your Story
This bag proudly features customisable hand-stitched names or quotes. The playful “Precious” design adds a charming touch, but you can tailor yours with initials, dates, or words that matter. Decorative add-ons like bows, florals and trim make each piece feel completely your own. For more inspiration, browse our Portfolio Page or Accessories Page.

The Story Behind the Name “Chada”
In Thai culture, “Chada” refers to a traditional headdress worn in classical dance, symbolising grace and beauty. We chose this name to honour both tradition and elegance. The Chada bag shares that spirit: ornate, expressive and full of cultural identity.
Each Texture Tells a Handwoven Story
Natural variations in straw colour and weave patterns make each bag slightly different. These variations are not flaws—they’re evidence of true craftsmanship. The surface feels textured, organic, and beautifully irregular. It’s the look and feel of something genuinely handmade.
Practical and Beautiful to Carry
The Chada’s twin handles are braided from the same raffia straw for a consistent, soft grip. They’re long enough to sit comfortably over your shoulder, allowing for hands-free movement. Despite its decorative touches, the bag is structured, roomy, and practical—ideal for carrying essentials on the go.
Make It a Thoughtful Gift
If you’re gifting for a birthday, bridal shower, or graduation, this is a meaningful choice. Add a name, pick your colours, and surprise someone with something handmade. It’s a unique option for mums, sisters, bridesmaids, or even a special keepsake for yourself.
Caring for Your Straw Raffia Bag
Keep your bag dry and store it in a cotton dust bag between uses. Avoid plastic, which traps moisture. If needed, gently spot-clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry naturally. With care, this bag will accompany you for many seasons.
Giving Back to Thai Families
We donate 15% of profits to support education, health care, and training for rural communities in Thailand. Your purchase helps fund school uniforms, weaving apprenticeships, and food packages for families in need. This program is rooted in Buddhist values of metta (loving-kindness) and dana (generosity).
