Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag

Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag

Handwoven with Basket Charm and Detail

The Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag is a timeless celebration of handweaving, texture, and natural structure. Women artisans in northern Thailand shape each bag coil by coil using local straw. Unlike mass-produced accessories, this basket-style purse is crafted entirely by hand, taking over 30 hours from start to finish. The round base offers strength and symmetry, while the slightly curved sides give it a soft, feminine shape. Because of its depth and sturdy base, it stands upright beautifully and holds more than you expect. This handcrafted construction is part of what makes our Straw Basket Bags so beloved worldwide.

Decorative Handle Wraps with a Floral Twist

What makes the Ketsuda stand out is its floral fabric-wrapped handle. The round straw handle is tightly wrapped in botanical satin, giving it a pop of colour and a luxe finish. On both ends, handmade bows are stitched securely in place to add charm and movement. These details elevate the piece from a natural tote to a full fashion accessory. No two wraps are the same—our artisans rotate fabrics seasonally, giving each Ketsuda a unique flair. Customers often tell us it’s the bows that draw compliments.

Rounded Basket Shape That Holds Plenty

The Ketsuda may appear petite, but its clever basket shape offers real practicality. The rounded base expands outward, allowing you to fit a phone, wallet, sunglasses, compact mirror, keys, and a scarf without overfilling it. Because it’s structured, you never have to worry about the shape collapsing. The reinforced rim keeps the opening firm, and the tight weave means nothing slips through. This bag doesn’t just look charming—it’s a genuinely useful day bag. For other roomy yet compact designs, browse our Bucket and Drawstring Bags range.

Thai Straw Sourced Locally and Sustainably

We work with farmers across Phayao and neighbouring provinces to source our straw. The straw used in this bag is harvested without pesticides or chemicals, then sun-dried, split, and cleaned by hand. Artisans twist and coil each strand into the rounded base, locking every stitch without glue or resin. That means the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag is fully biodegradable and breathable. It’s part of our Eco-Friendly Collection, which avoids all synthetic fabrics or linings. If you want natural fashion that respects the planet, this bag ticks every box.

Perfect for Brunch, Garden Parties and Weekend Escapes

There’s something about the Ketsuda’s combination of straw and satin that makes it ideal for sunny events and relaxed outfits. You can carry it to a spring brunch, a picnic, or even a countryside wedding. Its neutral straw tone pairs easily with floral prints, linen trousers, or floaty skirts. Meanwhile, the bows add just enough personality to elevate the look. Whether you dress it up or down, the Ketsuda feels like a personal detail—not a mass accessory. You’ll find more holiday-friendly styles in our Straw Holiday Bags category.

The Meaning Behind the Thai Name Ketsuda

In Thai, the name “Ketsuda” (เกษสุดา) translates to “gift of the fields” or “daughter of harvest.” It reflects grace, nature, and quiet strength—three things we aim to capture in this design. We name each bag to honour Thai culture and language, grounding every product in place and meaning. Carrying the Ketsuda means you’re carrying more than a purse. You’re carrying a name, a tradition, and a story that stretches back through generations of Thai women. This blend of meaning and design makes our products unlike anything else on the market.

Handcrafted by Women Artisans in Phayao

Each Ketsuda bag begins in the hands of a Thai woman artisan. Many of them weave from home studios, combining their work with daily life. They train through local co-ops and support their families through their weaving skills. We pay fair wages and reinvest 15% of profits into rural education, healthcare, and weaving apprenticeships. When you choose this basket bag, you choose community as well. For a deeper look at our impact, visit our Our Journey page and read about our commitment to sustainable craft.

Vegan, Plastic-Free, and 100% Natural

The Ketsuda is made entirely from plant-based materials. We use no animal products, no plastic lining, and no synthetic glues. The inner drawstring pouch is undyed cotton, and even the threads used in stitching are natural fibre. Our customers often choose this bag because they’re looking for ethical style—something that aligns with their values but still looks beautiful. As part of our Vegan Straw Bags line, the Ketsuda proves that conscious fashion doesn’t need to compromise on design.

Customisation Options Available

We offer custom options on every Ketsuda bag. You can add embroidered initials, change the drawstring pouch colour, or request a custom bow fabric. Because we use only plant-based dyes, your chosen colour will be naturally muted and entirely unique. We send a free preview mock-up before production begins. Customers often customise for wedding parties, birthdays, or holiday gifting. To start your design, visit our Personalised Straw Bags and create a version that’s truly yours.

Lightweight, Durable, and Comfortable to Carry

The combination of strong straw and soft fabric makes this bag easy to carry all day. Despite its size, it doesn’t strain your hand or wrist. The wrapped handle sits comfortably, and the reinforced rim means it doesn’t dig in or sag under weight. We double coil the base for structure and add tight edging for strength. This is a bag made for walking, wandering, and living—not just for display. It’s light enough for travel but durable enough for daily use.
