Wipha Straw Weave Drawstring Travel Handbag

Crafting the Wipha Straw Weave Drawstring Travel Handbag

The Wipha Straw Weave Drawstring Travel Handbag is a heartfelt product of Thai artisan tradition. Handwoven by skilled women in rural villages, each bag takes 30+ hours to complete. The circular body, straw texture, and braided handle are carefully shaped using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations. The drawstring closure adds a soft, natural finish. No machines are used—only hands, patience, and heritage. Explore more traditional styles in our Handmade Straw Bags & Purses collection.

Eco-Friendly Bag Materials from Northern Thailand

Crafted from golden-toned natural straw, this eco-friendly bag is as gentle on the planet as it is on the eyes. Our artisans use sustainable materials like straw, seagrass, water hyacinth, and bamboo—each chosen for its renewability and local benefits. Choosing a sustainable handbag supports both the earth and traditional Thai harvesting. Discover more nature-first designs in our Eco-Friendly & Natural Straw Bags & Purses section.

The Wipha bag is ideal for summer brunches, beach walks, and city escapes. Pair it with flowing dresses, linen trousers, or kaftans.

How the Wipha Bag Supports Thai Communities

15% of every sale goes to support our Straw Bag Company Foundation, which helps struggling families in Northern Thailand.

We proudly follow the Buddhist values of metta (kindness) and dana (generosity) through every sale.

Why We Named Her Wipha

‘Wipha’ (วิภา) means radiant light and elegant beauty in Thai. The golden straw colour and soft lines of this woven bag embody those qualities. Each Thai name in our collection honours the spirit of the design, adding depth and story to each purchase.

Bag Care Tips for Your Straw Handbag

Keep your Wipha bag dry and ventilated. Avoid storing it in plastic—use a cotton dust bag or pillowcase instead. If it gets damp, let it dry naturally in a shaded area. Clean with a soft cloth and water. This bag is crafted to last with gentle love and care.

Why This Bag Works Around the World

From Bali cafés to London streets, this summer bag is a favourite of travellers, influencers, and slow fashion lovers. It transitions easily from market days to weddings or retreats. Want more styles with global flair? Visit our Ladies & Women’s Straw Bags & Purses page.

Handwoven Texture with a Natural Soul

The Wipha bag’s charm lies in its tiny imperfections. Each straw fibre is slightly different, each handle hand-braided. These textures and tones are proof of authenticity. Unlike factory bags, these imperfections tell a story—one you can wear with pride.

Why the Wipha Bag Makes a Great Gift

Gift it for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or holidays. With personalisation, you can add a quote, date, or initial for extra meaning. See more ideas in our Personalised Straw Bags & Purses section—there’s a style for everyone you love.
