Dao Wooden Handle Water Hyacinth Bucket Bag

Why the Dao Wooden Handle Water Hyacinth Bucket Bag Stands Tall

The Dao Wooden Handle Water Hyacinth Bucket Bag brings a fresh take to traditional Thai weaving. Its upright bucket silhouette, crafted from hand-coiled water hyacinth, feels both natural and structured. Finished with wide oval wooden handles, this piece offers minimalist style and practical form in one design. Whether you’re headed to a farmer’s market or brunch by the sea, Dao adds organic sophistication to any outfit.

Cylindrical Bucket Shape With Strong Structure

This vertical bag stands tall and steady thanks to its cylindrical base and reinforced rim. The shape is unique — more compact than a tote but more sculpted than a pouch. It holds its form beautifully and makes an impression without needing added embellishment. Because of its depth, the Dao Wooden Handle Water Hyacinth Bucket Bag carries more than you’d expect while staying upright wherever you place it.

Handwoven Water Hyacinth With Natural Texture

Artisans gather water hyacinth by hand from Northern Thai riverbanks, dry it in the sun, and weave it into thick spirals. The resulting texture is tactile and richly detailed. Unlike machine-stitched designs, this bag’s construction carries the mark of human hands in every loop. The weave is tight and durable, ideal for daily use or travel. No glues, no plastic — just fibre, thread, and time-honoured craft.

Bold Wooden Handles for Style and Grip

Two polished oval wooden handles rise from the top edge, providing easy grip and architectural contrast. Their rich brown tone plays beautifully against the golden straw. These handles feel smooth in hand and balance the bag’s vertical silhouette. They’re not just decorative — they make carrying the Dao Wooden Handle Water Hyacinth Bucket Bag effortless and comfortable, even when full.

Perfect for Urban Errands or Seaside Escapes

Dao works anywhere. In the city, pair it with wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt. At the beach, it complements kaftans, sandals, or oversized sunglasses. The neutral palette adapts to bold prints and minimalist palettes alike. From cafés to coastal walks, this piece delivers laid-back style with quiet confidence.

Handcrafted by Thai Women Using Heritage Techniques

Every bag is made in Northern Thailand by women artisans working from home or in small village groups. They use passed-down skills, natural materials, and flexible methods that fit around family life.

Sustainably Designed With Zero Plastic

This bag reflects our zero-waste values. It’s crafted from biodegradable plant fibres, with no synthetic linings, zippers, or chemical treatments. The wooden handles are shaped and polished by hand, and every stitch is done using cotton-based thread. Choosing the Dao Wooden Handle Water Hyacinth Bucket Bag means supporting ethical design from root to finish.

Lightweight Yet Surprisingly Spacious

Although compact in footprint, the vertical design allows generous storage. You’ll easily fit your phone, wallet, small makeup pouch, sunglasses, and keys. The open top makes it easy to reach your belongings. Thanks to the upright shape and rigid weave, nothing spills or shifts around. This balance of size and structure makes it ideal for weekend outings or casual dinners.

Natural Versatility for Every Season

Dao works across seasons thanks to its clean lines and earthy tones. Style it with wool coats and boots in autumn, or linen dresses and espadrilles in summer. The wooden handles offer year-round appeal, adding warmth in colder months and polish in warmer ones. With just one bag, you’ll have endless styling options.
