Malai Handwoven Thai Floral Drawstring Straw Bag
A Sweet and Sustainable Straw Bucket Bag with a Blooming Heart
A Joyful Handmade Bag for Every Occasion
The Malai Handwoven Thai Floral Drawstring Straw Bag is a celebration of blooming beauty and Thai craftsmanship. Named after the Thai word Malai, which means “flower garland”, this petite bag is bursting with charm, colour, and care.
Whether you’re gifting a loved one, dressing up a flower girl, or simply adding a joyful touch to your summer wardrobe, the Malai straw bag offers a delightful combination of handwoven texture, floral embroidery, and playful detail.
Handcrafted by Artisans in Northern Thailand
Each Malai bag is handwoven in Phayao, a peaceful province in Northern Thailand known for its heritage of weaving with natural materials. Local artisans use sustainable water hyacinth straw, an eco-friendly plant that grows rapidly in Thai waterways.
By turning this invasive plant into beautiful, functional pieces, the craft helps preserve local ecosystems while supporting rural livelihoods. The Malai straw bag takes over 24 hours to complete from harvest to embroidery, with every detail added by hand.
Eco-Friendly, Vegan and Kind to the Planet
The Malai floral straw bucket bag is made with sustainability in mind. It features:
-
Biodegradable water hyacinth straw
-
100% vegan materials, including cotton and wood
-
Handmade production with ethical wages and traditional techniques
-
Minimal, recyclable packaging for eco-conscious delivery
When you carry the Malai bag, you’re making a stylish and responsible choice.
Charming Floral Embroidery and a Soft Lining
The front of the bag features bold, hand-stitched flowers in shades of sky blue, yellow, and white, with green leaves for contrast. The embroidery brings life and personality to the natural straw base.
A white beaded circular handle adds a whimsical touch, while the cotton drawstring lining in a blue-and-white pattern provides both function and flair. The lining keeps small items secure and brings a soft, comfortable feel to the structured straw form.
Why “Malai” Suits This Bag Perfectly
In Thai, Malai refers to a garland of fresh flowers given as a symbol of love, welcome, or celebration. That spirit is beautifully captured in the design of this handwoven straw bag, which feels both festive and heartfelt.
It’s an ideal piece for those who want to express joy, connection, and care through handcrafted style.
