PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Intira Summer Bag with Bold Colour and Floral Shape
The Intira Straw Summer Bag bursts with warmth, texture, and personality. Designed in a large floral silhouette and finished with a vibrant mix of oversized pom-poms, this bag celebrates sunshine, Thai artistry, and playful styling. Its sculpted shape, handwoven base, and wrapped handle create a perfect balance of function and flair. If you’re searching for a summer accessory that feels joyful and handmade, this one checks every box.
Striking Flower Shape with Sculptural Curves
The standout feature of this bag is its flower-inspired silhouette. Petal-shaped edges create a playful outline that’s bold without being heavy. The sculpted base provides volume, while the flared curves give it rhythm and movement. Because of its shape, the Intira Straw Summer Bag holds its structure even when lightly packed, making it both beautiful and practical.
Natural Straw Body Woven by Hand
Each bag is handwoven by artisans in Thailand using water hyacinth straw. This natural fibre is harvested locally and woven in tight, spiralling layers to form a strong, consistent body. The weave highlights the flower shape, drawing the eye outward from the center. With every bag made by hand, you get a piece that’s full of character and care.
Oversized Pom Poms in Sunset-Inspired Colours
Five fluffy pom-poms span the front of the handle, arranged in a warm palette of ivory, yellow, and deep orange-red. Their bold hues evoke sunshine, heat, and tropical blooms—perfect for summer styling. The soft, bouncy texture adds contrast to the firmness of the straw. These pom-poms are carefully secured to stay put while swinging freely as you move.
Wrapped Handle with Printed Satin and Statement Bow
The circular handle is wrapped in a patterned satin scarf in rich orange and gold tones. A large bow is tied neatly at one side, giving the bag its final touch of softness and sophistication. This element not only enhances the grip but also adds a luxurious finish that complements the bright pom-poms and straw base.
The Meaning Behind ‘Intira’
‘Intira’ (อินทิรา) is a Thai name associated with light, inner fire, and radiance. This perfectly captures the energy of the Intira Straw Summer Bag. With its bright colours and expressive form, the bag embodies joyful living and spirited style. It brings light into every outfit, every occasion, and every season it joins.
Perfect for Holidays, Beach Days, and Festivals
Whether you’re travelling, exploring outdoor events, or simply dressing for the weekend, this bag adds instant personality. It works well with flowing maxi dresses, playful prints, or basic summer sets. The size allows you to carry essentials like your phone, wallet, and sunglasses while maintaining a bold silhouette. Because it’s lightweight, it feels easy and breezy to carry all day.
Lightweight, Breathable, and Comfortable to Hold
Despite its bold detailing, the Intira Straw Summer Bag is light and manageable. The breathable straw and soft fabric handle make it suitable for hot climates, while the open-top design gives you quick access to your items. It feels fun and functional—everything a summer bag should be.
Handcrafted by Thai Women Artisans
Artisans from Phayao and Chiang Mai complete each stage of production—from weaving the straw to tying the scarf. Many of these women work from home, combining traditional weaving skills with flexible work that supports their families. Every purchase directly contributes to sustaining local Thai craftsmanship and providing economic opportunity for rural communities.
Made with Eco-Conscious Materials and Low Waste Practices
This bag uses biodegradable water hyacinth straw and recycled textiles for the scarf and pom-poms. All details are added by hand, using traditional tools and methods. No synthetic linings or chemical treatments are involved. The Intira Straw Summer Bag fits beautifully into slow fashion lifestyles, offering style with responsibility.
Great Gift for Colour Lovers and Creative Spirits
Looking for a fun and thoughtful gift? This bag makes a memorable present for birthdays, summer trips, or celebration seasons. Its joyful colours and handcrafted finish suit women who love expressive fashion and appreciate meaningful design. You can also pair it with a scarf, sandals, or straw hat for a complete gift set.
Pairs Beautifully with Summer Whites, Prints, and Bold Hues
The bright colours in this bag make it easy to match with summer outfits. Pair it with a white jumpsuit, patterned dress, or vibrant co-ord set. The natural straw tone balances the boldness, so it never overwhelms your look. Wherever you go—beach, market, or outdoor dinner—the Intira Straw Summer Bag makes a strong, cheerful statement.

Simple Care Instructions for Lasting Colour and Shape
To care for your bag, store it away from direct sunlight and moisture. Fluff the pom-poms gently if they flatten, and straighten the scarf bow by hand when needed. Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the straw. When not in use, stuff the interior with fabric or tissue to help it keep its sculpted form. With minimal upkeep, your bag will stay vibrant and strong through many seasons.

ORDERING INFORMATION
OUR FOUNDATION
Phayao as the Foundation of Straw Bag Production
The Intira Straw Summer Bag is handcrafted by Thai women artisans working across The Straw Bag Company’s national production network. Our central base is in Phayao, northern Thailand, where natural water hyacinth is harvested locally, sun-dried, and woven using traditional techniques. More than 30 full-time women work in this region, meeting daily in small organised groups to produce each bag with consistent quality. Phayao continues to serve as the foundation for all water hyacinth products in our range and plays a critical role in maintaining cultural craftsmanship through reliable employment.
Expanded Production Across Multiple Provinces
In addition to Phayao, we support weaving and production teams in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, and Nakhon Sawan. These southern locations focus on crafting seagrass bags using native krajood straw. Final stitching and decorative finishing for products like the Intira Straw Summer Bag are completed in Chiang Mai, where artisans work in rural village communities. The Straw Bag Company now employs more than 80 people nationwide, including harvesters, weavers, stitchers, production leads, and quality control support. Every bag is created entirely within Thailand using locally sourced, traceable materials.
Work That Supports Real-Life Responsibilities
Our structure is designed to accommodate the needs of rural women who must balance work with home responsibilities. Artisans can choose to work from home or in local group settings. We use a time-based payment model to ensure stable and fair income, regardless of how many units are completed. This removes the pressure of output-based systems and allows women to contribute financially while managing childcare, elder care, and household duties. It also encourages a stronger focus on quality and consistency.
Reinvesting 15 Percent of Profits Into Artisan Communities
Fifteen percent of profits from every sale are reinvested into the same communities that produce our bags. These funds are used to provide direct support for essential needs. We assist artisans who cannot afford material costs, ensuring that production continues without interruption. Families also receive help with school-related expenses, such as transportation, uniforms, meals, and supplies. In cases of short-term financial hardship, local team leaders coordinate support quickly. We also fund structured school leaver training programmes, offering younger women paid, hands-on opportunities to learn weaving and stitching while remaining close to their families.
Aligned With National Development Goals
We actively contribute to Thailand’s One Tambon One Product (OTOP) programme, which promotes rural craft and small-scale enterprise development. Our work also supports the goals of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Through our continued involvement with the TAT News platform and the Amazing Thailand campaign, we help raise awareness of the cultural and economic importance of traditional Thai craft in rural areas.
A Summer Bag That Carries Meaning
The Intira Straw Summer Bag is more than a warm-weather accessory. It is the result of ethical labour, community support, and long-term investment in Thai women’s skills. Each purchase helps preserve weaving traditions, fund local development, and provide practical income opportunities across Thailand’s rural villages.
