Pimnapa Woven Straw Beach Wooden Handle Tote

Gracefully Woven by Hand in Thailand

The Pimnapa Woven Straw Beach Wooden Handle Tote is more than just a beautiful accessory—it’s a celebration of tradition. Every bag is handmade in rural Thailand, using time-honoured open-air weaving methods passed down through generations. In fact, each tote takes over 24 hours to create, with women artisans shaping every straw fibre by hand. Because no machines are used, every detail tells a human story. The elegant wooden handles are individually polished, providing a smooth and natural contrast to the soft woven straw.

Eco-Friendly Materials That Honour Nature

This eco-friendly beach tote is made using water hyacinth straw, a renewable fibre hand-harvested from Thai rivers. Not only does its use support sustainable production, but it also improves the local ecosystem by removing invasive plants. Additionally, our workshops often use seagrass, banana fibre, and palm leaf to create other ethical styles. You’ll find similar pieces in our Eco-Friendly & Natural Straw Bags & Purses collection.

Lightweight Design With Practical Function

Although the Pimnapa tote is wide and roomy, it remains extremely light. That’s because the weave is breathable yet firm, providing structure without bulk. Whether you’re heading to the beach, exploring a new city, or shopping at a weekend market, this bag makes carrying your essentials effortless. Therefore, it’s perfect for towels, a book, sunglasses, and more—all without weighing you down.

A Must-Have for Stylish Summer Escapes

Thanks to its relaxed neutral tone, the Pimnapa straw tote pairs effortlessly with summer dresses, resortwear, or even minimalist outfits. It’s ideal for city breaks, tropical getaways, and coastal walks. In fact, many of our customers carry it to brunches in Sydney, shopping days in London, or beaches in Bali.

Personalise It Your Way in 3 Sizes

This design comes in three sizes to match your needs—from large beach-ready totes to small everyday companions. You can also choose to add lining, a zipped pocket, or even embroidered initials. Furthermore, we offer 8 botanical dye colours to tint your bag in pastel tones like sage, lavender, or blush.

Every Sale Helps Support Thai Communities

With every Pimnapa tote sold, 15% of profits go directly back to local Thai families. These funds support education, food assistance, weaving apprenticeships, and elder care. Because of your support, children receive school books, elderly artisans receive help, and weaving skills are passed on to the next generation. Our mission is built on metta (loving-kindness) and dana (generosity).

Meaning Behind the Name ‘Pimnapa’

The name Pimnapa (พิมพ์นภา) translates to “graceful skies” in Thai. We chose it for this bag because of its elegant lines and free-flowing spirit. Much like a calm sky above the ocean, the Pimnapa tote evokes peace, openness, and lightness. All of our bags carry names chosen for their cultural meaning and poetic resonance.

Simple Care for Years of Use

To preserve the beauty of your handwoven straw bag, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry space. Avoid using plastic bags—instead, wrap it in a cotton cloth or keep it in a dust bag. If it gets dusty, spot clean it gently with a dry cloth. Allow it to air dry naturally after use in humid conditions. With a little love, it will last many seasons.

Global Style With Thai Soul

This natural tote has made its way from Thai riversides to fashion capitals around the world. Because of its soft tone and classic shape, it suits every lifestyle. From yoga retreats in Ubud to café corners in Paris, it travels beautifully. Discover how others wear theirs in our Ladies & Women’s Straw Bags & Purses collection.

Tactile Texture and Authentic Character

Every straw fibre used in the Pimnapa tote carries a slightly different tone, resulting in subtle variations across the bag. These differences aren’t imperfections—they’re proof of real hands crafting something personal. Unlike factory-made bags, no two Pimnapa totes are identical. That’s exactly what makes yours special.

The Perfect Gift With Thoughtful Options

This tote makes a lovely gift for birthdays, weddings, honeymoons, or holidays. Because it can be personalised in size, colour, and embroidery, it’s easy to make it meaningful. Many customers choose it for bridesmaids or as a mother–daughter matching gift. Visit our Personalised Straw Bags & Purses page to get started.
