A pretty cocoon style red tote bag handmade in crocheted raffia. The top half of the bag is decorated all over with large raffia flowers.
This original tote bag made in red raffia would make a great all purpose bag for summer and all it's social occasions, weddings, festivals, garden parties etc. It is crocheted all in a one piece to make an unlined shell with an integral carrying strap handle. The plump teardrop form allows for a surprisingly commodious bag and room aplenty for daily life support systems needs, plus any token gifts, bottle of wine as appropriate.
Paper raffia is a natural organic material made from natural plant fibres. It is eco friendly, bio degradable and recyclable. This bag is made with a thread type, which is surprisingly strong, yet very lightweight. The bags are durable and easy to maintain, and will happily endure gentle washing, swished in warm soapy water, so long as not soaked, then patting dry with a towel.
