PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Delicate Florals Meet Playful Charm

The Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag stands out with its delightful mix of sweet embroidery, soft colour, and bold structure. Designed with a classic bucket silhouette, this handcrafted straw bag is embroidered with white daisies, leafy green stems, and pink butterfly accents, creating a look that feels both fresh and feminine. Its upright form offers practicality without compromising visual appeal. The natural straw gives it a timeless texture, while the playful motifs inject character into the overall design. The sturdy base makes it easy to place upright, ensuring style and function are equally prioritised.

Handwoven Structure in a Compact Bucket Shape

Our artisans craft each Nangnoi bag by hand using sustainably sourced water hyacinth straw. This durable, eco-conscious material forms the base of the bucket design, offering both strength and structure. The woven surface showcases the beauty of Thai craftsmanship with each fibre tightly looped for a clean, consistent finish. Though compact, the design makes full use of vertical space, giving it a roomy interior while maintaining a slim profile. The clean lines and precise silhouette give this bag a polished look, perfect for dressing up casual outfits or adding charm to event wear.

Charming Details in Every Stitch

What sets the Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag apart is its cheerful detail work. Embroidered white daisies are stitched directly into the woven straw surface, while soft pink butterflies add a dash of whimsical colour. These embellishments aren’t mass-produced—they’re applied by hand, one by one, by our skilled artisan team. Each flower has a character of its own, adding authenticity and emotional warmth. The carefully placed green leaves provide depth and contrast, helping the floral elements pop without overpowering the natural straw base.

Functional Interior with Drawstring Lining

Practicality plays a key role in the design of the Nangnoi bag. Inside the structured straw exterior, you’ll find a fabric drawstring lining printed with a light blue heart motif. This lining adds softness and flexibility, allowing the bag to safely hold your phone, purse, keys, and more. The drawstring closure keeps everything secure while giving the interior a decorative flair. You can leave it open for easy access or cinch it closed when you’re on the go. It’s a thoughtful detail that elevates this bucket bag from stylish to essential.

The Meaning Behind the Name ‘Nangnoi’

In Thai, ‘Nangnoi’ means “little lady” or “young woman”—a sweet and fitting name for such a delicate and playful design. The bag’s light-hearted floral embroidery, compact shape, and bright details mirror the energy of youth and celebration. It’s ideal for days when you want to feel carefree yet composed, pairing beautifully with flowy skirts, sundresses, or even relaxed denim. The name reflects not just the style but the spirit of the woman who carries it: cheerful, confident, and effortlessly charming.

Perfect for Spring Events and Summer Days

Whether you’re headed to a brunch, picnic, holiday market, or family celebration, the Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag makes a fitting companion. Its vibrant look complements sunny skies and floral surroundings, while the structured shape adds a polished edge. Pair it with pastel colours or bold prints—it holds its own without stealing the show. Customers love its ability to elevate a simple look while keeping things easy and practical. Light enough for all-day wear and structured enough to hold its shape, it’s the ideal warm-weather essential.

Comfortable Carry with Beaded Handle

The Nangnoi features a smooth white beaded handle that’s both decorative and functional. Its circular shape fits neatly in your palm or loops around your wrist, giving you flexible carrying options. The beads are polished for comfort and style, blending effortlessly with the playful embroidery. Side beads mirror the main handle for a balanced visual effect. Whether you’re carrying it to the side or holding it close, the handle feels secure and substantial. It’s one of those rare design details that offers both ease and charm.

Eco-Friendly Materials with Lasting Beauty

The natural water hyacinth straw used in the Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag is both beautiful and sustainable. This fast-growing plant is harvested and dried before being woven into strong, breathable material. Unlike synthetic fabrics, straw allows air to pass through, keeping your belongings cool and fresh on warm days. The environmental impact is minimal, and every step of the production process supports traditional Thai methods. With proper care, the straw ages gracefully, taking on a richer hue over time and maintaining its structure for years.

Handcrafted in Thailand by Local Artisans

Each bag is handmade in Thailand by our skilled team of women artisans. Working in small teams across Phayao and other rural regions, they apply generations-old techniques to produce something that’s truly one of a kind. The straw is woven locally, and every embellishment is applied manually with great care. This ensures consistent quality while giving each bag its own slight variations. No two Nangnoi bags are ever identical, and that’s what makes them special. When you carry this bag, you carry part of Thailand’s craft culture with you.

Ideal Gift for Birthdays, Bridesmaids, or Travel Lovers

The Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag makes a thoughtful and memorable gift. Whether you’re treating a loved one for her birthday, thanking bridesmaids with something special, or surprising a friend before a tropical trip, this bag delivers delight and functionality in equal measure. It’s light, cheerful, and versatile—qualities every travel lover or summer fashion enthusiast will appreciate. Pack it in your suitcase, carry it as your day bag, or use it to complete a floral-inspired outfit. It feels personal, handmade, and made to be gifted.

Easy Styling for Daywear and Events

You can style the Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag with casual outfits, event wear, or weekend looks. Its embroidery and colour palette give you freedom to play with shades of white, pink, blue, and green. Try it with a linen dress and sandals for a soft springtime outfit, or pair it with a blouse and culottes for a more structured daytime look. The bag works best with light, breathable fabrics and laid-back styling. Add earrings or a ribbon in your hair to complete the aesthetic.

Caring for Your Handmade Straw Bag

To maintain your Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag, avoid exposure to heavy rain or damp storage areas. Clean the surface gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth and store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid crushing the structure by keeping it upright or stuffing the interior with fabric to hold its shape. With simple care steps, your bag will remain in beautiful condition and continue to deliver its joyful charm season after season.

Behind the Craft: The Straw Bag Company Foundation

The Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag is handmade by Thai artisans who are part of The Straw Bag Company’s national network of local craftswomen and production teams. Over 30 women in Phayao create water hyacinth bags like this one, while krajood seagrass bags are made in locations including Chiang Mai and Nakhon Si Thammarat. With over 80 team members involved in harvesting, weaving, and finishing, we reinvest revenue into preserving artisan skills, supporting local school-leaver training, and expanding opportunities in rural areas. We proudly support the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Amazing Thailand campaign, and the news platform TAT News, all of which promote sustainable travel and cultural preservation across Thai communities.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

Empowering Women Through Structured Artisan Support

The Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag is handmade by Thai women who form part of The Straw Bag Company’s nationwide artisan workforce. In Phayao, northern Thailand, we operate our main water hyacinth harvesting and production centre, where over 30 full-time female artisans meet daily to complete orders together in a group-based environment. Beyond Phayao, our seagrass (krajood) bag production is based across Nakhon Sawan, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Phatthalung. The detailed hand-stitching of krajood bags is completed in small village communities in Chiang Mai, where skilled women continue these techniques as part of daily life. Across all regions, our total workforce includes more than 80 team members, from local harvesting teams to trained weavers and regional management staff.

Our model is built on transparency and long-term investment. Every artisan is paid based on time rather than units produced, providing consistent income that supports families without placing pressure on speed or volume. Most of our weavers work from home or in shared village spaces, which allows them to care for young children, manage household responsibilities, and remain part of their local community while contributing to household income.

We reinvest 15 percent of profits directly back into the artisan communities that produce our bags. This funding is used in specific, practical ways that reflect the priorities of the women we work with. We provide financial support for families when material costs are too high up front, ensuring no artisan is forced to stop work due to lack of funds. We help cover children’s education expenses, transport to schools, and health-related costs when income alone cannot stretch far enough. For new artisans or young school leavers, we offer entry-level training and mentorship programmes that build skills and open future employment pathways. These reinvestments are coordinated with local team leaders to ensure they meet actual needs.

The Straw Bag Company also supports Thailand’s broader development goals through active participation in the OTOP programme, which helps promote regional products and small enterprise. Our commitment extends to supporting the Tourism Authority of Thailand and its TAT News platform, as well as the Amazing Thailand campaign. These initiatives play an important role in spotlighting the value of rural craftsmanship and responsible community-based enterprise.

The Nangnoi Straw Bucket Bag is created using locally sourced, fully traceable materials. Every stage, from plant harvesting to finishing, is managed within Thailand by real people we know and employ. Customers who purchase this design help sustain rural jobs, protect Thai weaving traditions, and contribute directly to the well-being of the communities that make each piece possible.
