Wanthida Straw Crochet Flower Tote Bag

Style and Structure in This Straw Crochet Flower Tote Bag

The Wanthida Straw Crochet Flower Tote Bag brings soft, handmade charm to your wardrobe. A row of colourful crochet flowers sits neatly along the bottom edge, stitched onto a rectangular straw base with a tall, structured form. The result is a wearable garden — natural, feminine, and unlike anything mass produced.

Handcrafted from water hyacinth straw, the bag’s clean structure holds its shape throughout the day. It fits neatly under your arm or by your side, and it pairs beautifully with summer dresses, light blouses, or jeans and sandals.

If you’re looking for a unique alternative to synthetic totes, this one balances beauty with everyday function. Explore similar styles in our embroidered & floral collection.

Hand-Stitched Crochet Flowers for a Garden-Inspired Finish

Each flower on this tote is crocheted by hand in pastel pinks, lavender, cream, and soft yellow. These cotton blooms are stitched directly into the straw, meaning they don’t peel, fade, or fall off — unlike mass-market glued decorations.

Because the flowers are handmade, every bag carries slight variations. That adds character, not imperfection. The floral detail transforms this from a basic straw tote bag into something expressive and textured.

Functional Design Inside a Decorative Straw Tote

Function matters — and this floral tote delivers. The rectangular shape creates a roomy, upright interior. It’s tall enough to store a book or small tablet, but compact enough for light errands or brunch. You can carry your wallet, phone, cosmetics, sunglasses, and even a scarf comfortably.

The firm base lets it sit upright on any surface, and the open top gives fast access to your essentials. Unlike soft shopper bags, it never loses its shape. It’s built to look polished even on busy days.

Soft Satin-Wrapped Handles Add Comfort and Polish

The handles are wrapped in soft white floral satin, padded and stitched for durability. This isn’t just for looks — the fabric adds comfort and keeps the straw from rubbing or chafing your hand. Each handle is tied off with a gentle bow, which moves slightly as you walk, adding subtle charm.

The satin pattern echoes the bag’s soft crochet colours, tying the look together. Whether you hold it by hand or drape it over your forearm, the handles feel luxurious.

Wanthida: The Thai Name That Says Grace

“Wanthida” (วันทิตา) means graceful woman in Thai. We chose this name because the bag’s shape and floral softness capture that feeling — gentle strength, quiet style, and authenticity. It reflects the women who make it and the women who carry it.

Every bag in our handmade straw collection carries a Thai name and a Thai story. Wanthida is no different — it honours the Phayao women who weave, stitch, and wrap each bag by hand.

Sustainable, Vegan, and Biodegradable

The Wanthida Straw Crochet Flower Tote Bag is made with natural materials only. The body is woven from water hyacinth, harvested and dried without chemicals. The flowers are crocheted from cotton yarn. The handle wraps use recycled fabric offcuts.

No plastic, no glue, and no synthetics. It’s fully biodegradable, fully vegan, and safe for sensitive skin. Choosing this bag supports a slower, cleaner way of making — one that respects the planet.

Sized for Daily Carry Without the Bulk

The tote measures just right for day-to-day carry. It’s not oversized, but it fits what you need: wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, and a few extras. The structured shape means everything stays in place and is easy to grab without digging around.

It’s great for cafe meetups, shopping days, or casual walks through town. The open top adds to the convenience, and the tight weave keeps things secure even when lightly packed.

Tailor Your Tote With Custom Details

Want to personalise the Wanthida tote? You can request different flower colours, bow fabric, or even have a name embroidered on the lining. We offer free mock-ups before we begin, so you can confirm the look before production.

This is a great choice for group orders, bridesmaids, or boutique gift sets. All custom work is done by hand in the same studio where the bags are made — no outsourcing, no shortcuts.

Lightweight, Easy to Carry, and Travel-Friendly

The Wanthida tote weighs less than most synthetic bags but holds its shape far better. You can pack it into a suitcase for travel and it springs back to form with no warping. It works well for holidays, casual shopping trips, or outdoor lunches where you want something special.

It’s light on your shoulder, holds firm on the table, and never feels like a burden. Just enough space. Just enough presence. It’s what makes this crochet flower tote such an easy companion.

Low-Maintenance and Made to Last

The materials we use are naturally low-maintenance. Straw can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The yarn flowers resist fading, and the satin handles stay smooth with gentle use.

Store it in a dry place when not in use, and avoid direct sunlight for long periods to preserve the colour. With minimal care, your bag will stay bright and beautiful across many seasons.

Fast, Tracked Delivery With Photo Confirmation

All bags are shipped via EMS Express. Before we pack your tote, we’ll send you a clear photo of your finished product. That way, you know exactly what’s coming. No surprises — just the bag you chose, ready for dispatch.

Most orders arrive within 5–10 business days depending on location. Your item comes packed in recyclable paper and secured to prevent creasing or crushing.

Backed by Real Women, Not a Factory

Each Wanthida Straw Tote is made by women artisans in Phayao. These women work from their homes, on their own schedules, using skills passed down for generations. Their work is dignified, fairly paid, and always personal.

15% of all profits go back into their communities — supporting school fees, medical needs, and apprenticeship training for younger weavers. When you carry this bag, you carry a connection that matters.

A Handcrafted Straw Tote With Heart and Colour

The Wanthida Straw Crochet Flower Tote Bag is more than a fashion item. It’s a celebration of small details, creative hands, and joyful design. Its structured shape, pastel flowers, and comfortable handles make it a standout — not because it shouts, but because it speaks softly and beautifully.

This is a straw tote for women who appreciate care, creativity, and quiet confidence. It’s beautiful on the outside. But what’s behind it is even better.
