Ratanakorn Scalloped Straw Bag with Colourful Pom-Poms

Ratanakorn Scalloped Straw Bag with Colourful Pom-Poms

Where Craft Meets Colourful Character

Looking to add a bit of fun to your outfit? Meet the Ratanakorn, a handcrafted Thai straw bag that mixes playful design with traditional skill. Its unique scalloped silhouette and bold pom-pom embellishments make it impossible to ignore — the perfect statement accessory for summer holidays, weekend outings or gifting.

Made from natural water hyacinth straw and finished with a splash of colour, the Ratanakorn bag reflects its Thai name, Ratanakorn, which translates to “precious gem city”. Just like a rare gem, no two bags are ever the same. Each one is handwoven, hand-finished and full of unique charm.

It’s the bag that says: “I don’t follow trends — I have fun with them.”

Crafted by Hand in Thailand

Every Ratanakorn bag is made in the heart of northern Thailand by local artisans using age-old weaving techniques. Water hyacinth straw — a renewable plant fibre — is harvested, dried, and then braided by hand into this distinctive round form with scalloped edging.

The bold pom-poms are carefully attached, one by one, and the handles are wrapped with colourful scarves to add a final layer of detail. It’s labour-intensive, but that’s what makes the result so beautiful.

By choosing this bag, you support local Thai communities and help preserve authentic handcraft traditions.

A Playful Twist on a Classic Straw Bag

The standout feature of the Ratanakorn bag is its scalloped edge, shaped to resemble petals or waves. This silhouette adds texture and fun while still being practical to carry. Unlike conventional square or round bags, the scalloped shape turns it into an artistic piece.

Each bag includes:

• Bright, multi-coloured pom-poms for a splash of joy
• Scarf-wrapped handles that offer a soft grip and decorative flair
• A spacious round body shape without being bulky
• Durable straw weave, built to hold its shape
• Open-top access with a structured form that sits beautifully on any surface

It’s a bag that invites compliments wherever you go and sparks conversation.

Surprisingly Practical, Naturally Lightweight

Don’t be fooled by its playful appearance — the Ratanakorn is made for real use. The round structure allows you to carry:

• A phone and a small purse
• Keys, sunglasses and compact essentials
• Snacks or a folded scarf
• A book, journal or mini tablet

Its lightweight build means you can carry it all day without feeling weighed down. Perfect for:

• Coastal holidays
• Farmers’ markets
• Garden parties
• Summer festivals
• Picnics and weekend breaks
• Craft fairs or handmade gift events
• School runs or quick errands when you want something unique

The handles are firm yet soft to hold, thanks to the layered scarf wrap that adds both beauty and comfort. Even after hours of use, they remain kind to your hands.
