PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Cheerful Craft: Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag

The Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag is a feel-good piece made to brighten your routine. Its hand-stitched flower motifs and soft colour accents reflect joy and intentionality. With a structured silhouette and playful details, this bag works as a daily carry-all or standout weekend accessory. It balances handmade character with everyday utility, offering style without excess. It’s the kind of piece that sparks conversation, compliments, and smiles with every use.

Woven Construction in the Areeya Straw Bag

Women artisans in northern Thailand craft each bag by hand using dried water hyacinth. They coil and stitch the material into this signature half-moon shape, which sits comfortably under your arm and rests easily on tables. The weaving technique used gives the Areeya Straw Bag strength and texture. It takes over 20 hours to complete one piece. The result is a tactile, durable straw body with a natural matte finish and visible artisan touch in every detail.

Embroidery Detail in the Flower Embroidered Bag

What makes this bag instantly recognisable is the flower trio on the front—pink, yellow, and white with hand-cut green leaves. Each flower is sewn one at a time using layered thread and careful needlework. The embroidery is thick and dimensional, not printed or glued, which makes the design feel more personal and tactile. This floral detail gives the Flower Embroidered Bag a fresh, expressive look perfect for spring and summer styling.

Comfort Meets Charm in the Handle Wrap Design

The circular handles are padded and wrapped in soft pink cotton fabric for added comfort. At the base, a floral scarf is tied in a neat bow, giving movement and colour to the top of the bag. This wrapped handle design not only softens the straw but also gives the Areeya Flower Bag a more finished, fashion-forward look. It’s subtle, sweet, and ideal for those who love a touch of fabric in their accessories.

Perfect Everyday Size in a Water Hyacinth Bag

Although compact in appearance, the bag’s interior fits a small wallet, phone, hand cream, sunglasses, and keys with room to spare. Its open top offers easy access, while the woven structure keeps everything upright. Whether you’re running errands or heading to brunch, the Areeya Water Hyacinth Bag gives you just enough space to carry the day’s essentials without bulk or stress.

Floral Styling from Our Embroidered & Floral Collection

This piece belongs to our Embroidered & Floral Straw Bags collection. It’s one of the most playful designs in the range, combining detailed embroidery with natural straw weaving. If you love bags that tell a story through colour and craftsmanship, the Areeya Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag fits right in. It’s especially popular with garden lovers, stylists, and those looking for meaningful gift ideas.

A Joyful Gift: Areeya Flower Bag for Any Occasion

Thanks to its light colour palette and positive energy, this bag is a favourite for spring birthdays, Mother’s Day, and weekend gifting. It’s often chosen as a thoughtful surprise or bridesmaid present. The Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag is both beautiful and functional—making it one of those rare gifts that looks as good on the shelf as it does in someone’s hands.

Sustainability Behind the Areeya Water Hyacinth Bag

We use locally sourced, fast-growing water hyacinth to create all our straw bags. It’s a biodegradable material that’s soft yet strong. Because each Areeya Water Hyacinth Bag is made by hand with no synthetic backing, it has a much lower environmental impact than mass-produced alternatives. The embroidery thread and handle fabric are also sourced in small batches, supporting other small businesses in the region.

Style Tips for the Areeya Flower Bag

This bag pairs well with cotton dresses, denim jackets, linen sets, or pastel separates. Its tones are soft but not washed out, which makes it an ideal accent for spring and early summer wardrobes. Whether you lean romantic, cottagecore, or vintage-inspired in your styling, the Areeya Flower Embroidered Bag adds personality and warmth without overpowering your outfit.

Custom Embroidery Options for the Areeya Straw Bag

We offer custom embroidery colours, scarf replacements, and even personalised initials for this design. Custom orders take 14–21 days and are ideal for gifting or special events. If you’d like to tailor your Areeya Straw Bag for a bridesmaid or coordinate it with an outfit, we’re happy to help you choose colours and add-ons.

Handle Comfort in the Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag

Unlike stiff or uncomfortable straw bags, this piece uses padded cotton to make the handles easier to grip. The circular shape sits comfortably in your hand and won’t dig in even when carried for hours. The wrap also gives a clean finish to the handle, echoing the Areeya Embroidered Bag’s balanced combination of structure and softness.

Support Women Artisans Through the Areeya Bag

Every Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag is woven, embroidered, and assembled by hand. Our weavers work from home or in small studios in Phayao province, using skills passed down through generations. Supporting this bag helps preserve regional weaving heritage while giving meaningful work to rural Thai women. It’s a piece you’ll carry with pride—not just for its looks, but for the impact behind it.

Small Bag with Strong Style Presence

This isn’t a bag that fades into the background. Its vibrant flowers, bright fabric accents, and circular shape make it eye-catching in the best way. Though small in scale, it draws attention because of its detail and personality. It’s a wonderful piece for someone who prefers playful accessories with heart. The Areeya Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag always gets noticed—for the right reasons.

Care Tips for Your Areeya Flower Bag

To care for the Areeya Straw Bag, keep it stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sun. You can wipe the straw with a dry cloth and reshape the scarf or flowers by hand if needed. Avoid water exposure to protect the weave. With occasional care, it will remain fresh and beautiful season after season.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Global EMS Airfreight for the Areeya Bag

Every Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag is shipped via EMS Thailand World Airfreight. This reliable service delivers to most global destinations and provides live tracking from dispatch to delivery. Customers receive their tracking code by email once the bag leaves our hub. We do not include shipping costs in our product prices, as many customers order more than one bag. EMS charges a flat rate for up to 1kg, so you often pay the same for two bags as you would for one. We believe in transparent pricing and pass on only the exact shipping cost with no additional fees.

Crafted by Villagers, Shipped from Our Hub

The Areeya bag is handmade by rural artisans across several provinces in Thailand, including Chiang Mai, Phayao, Phatthalung, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Once the embroidered bag is completed, it is sent to our central dispatch location in Nakhon Sawan. From this hub, we handle final inspections, professional packing, and EMS international posting. This centralised process ensures consistency across all orders, with every shipment leaving from the same trusted facility.

Thorough Checks and Protective Packaging

Before any Areeya bag leaves Thailand, our team of master weavers performs a complete quality inspection. We photograph and video each piece to confirm its flawless condition. The bag is then placed into a soft white cotton drawstring pouch to keep it protected during its journey and to give you an elegant storage option at home. Our packaging is eco-conscious, using recyclable and reusable materials that preserve both the environment and the delicate craftsmanship.

EMS Delivery Timeframes by Region

The following time estimates apply after the bag is dispatched:

Thailand: 1 to 3 business days
Asia-Pacific: 3 to 5 business days
Europe and UK: 4 to 9 business days
North America: 5 to 7 business days
Oceania: 4 to 6 business days
South America: 9 to 11 business days
These timelines cover shipping only and do not include any time required for bag production or customisation.

Timeline for Custom Embroidery Orders

If you’ve chosen custom embroidery or a specific colour variation for the Areeya bag, our artisan team will require 14 to 21 business days to create your bespoke piece. Once the item is ready, it is transferred to our Nakhon Sawan hub for packing and shipping. Only after this step will the EMS delivery timeline begin. Standard ready-made orders typically dispatch within 3 working days.

Track Your Areeya Bag with Confidence

You will receive a tracking number by email once your Areeya bag is posted. This number allows you to monitor the shipment through the EMS website and, after it enters your country, your local postal provider. If your tracking hasn’t arrived within 24 hours of shipment, check your spam folder or contact our support team directly for help.

We Cannot Control Local Delivery Services

After EMS hands over your parcel to your national postal service, we cannot take responsibility for delays or errors caused by local delivery. That said, we will always support you if you experience any issues, and we will help you trace your package using the EMS tracking system and local updates until it arrives safely.

Minimal Customs Issues for the Areeya Bag

Most orders arrive without any customs charges. While local import taxes and duties are possible, the majority of customers do not pay extra fees. Straw and water hyacinth bags are generally considered low-risk items for customs, but if duties are charged, they will be the customer’s responsibility. These fees are not included in the purchase or shipping costs.

Recyclable Packaging and Cotton Pouch

Your Areeya Flower Embroidered Bag will be wrapped inside a reusable white cotton pouch and packed using recyclable outer materials. We never use plastic bubble wrap or unnecessary fillers. Our eco-responsible packaging helps protect the craftsmanship and ensures your bag arrives clean and beautifully presented.

Unexpected Delays and Customs Checks

Although we dispatch bags quickly, delays can occasionally occur due to customs reviews, national holidays, or extreme weather. If this happens, our team will continue monitoring your order and provide updates. We always aim to deliver quickly and transparently, and we’ll stay in touch if delays happen.

Ensure Your Address Is Correct

Double-check your delivery information before placing your order. If your parcel is returned due to incorrect address details or if no one claims the delivery, we can reship it—but the second shipping charge will be your responsibility. Original shipping costs are not refundable in these cases.

Returned Parcels and Customer Reshipping

If a package is returned to our Thai dispatch hub, we will contact you to arrange reshipment. You may choose to resend the bag at your own cost or request a refund for the product price. In either case, the original EMS shipping fee is non-refundable unless the issue was our fault.

Why Shipping Isn’t Included in Bag Prices

We don’t include shipping in our product pricing because we believe it would be unfair—especially for customers who order more than one bag. EMS charges a fixed rate for up to 1kg, so two or even three bags often ship for the same cost as one. Our system allows you to pay exactly what EMS charges us, no more.

You Only Pay the Real EMS Cost

At checkout, you’ll see the exact shipping fee based on your delivery country. We don’t add charges for packing, admin, or handling. Our prices reflect only the handmade bag and the EMS Thailand rate, nothing extra. We believe this approach is more honest and better for our customers.

Returns and Refunds for Areeya Orders

We offer a 14-day return policy for all purchases. If your Areeya bag arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours and provide photographs or a video. If the issue is confirmed, you may choose a replacement or a full refund for the item. If you wish to return a bag for other reasons, you may do so within 14 days, but you must use a tracked courier service and provide a tracking number. Once we receive the return, we will inspect the bag and refund the product cost. Shipping fees are not refunded unless the bag was faulty.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

The Areeya Bag Supports Real Thai Communities

The Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag blends delicate floral detail with strong social purpose. Behind the hand embroidery and coiled weave is a deeper story. With every sale, 15% of the revenue goes directly back to rural Thai villages where these bags are made. That money helps with urgent needs like school fees, food, and emergency repairs. Every purchase becomes part of a chain of support. Customers walk away with a beautiful, handmade piece. Meanwhile, the family who crafted it receives real, timely help. The Areeya bag carries more than charm. It carries change.

Our Foundation Only Helps Artisan Villages

We’re not a general charity. Our foundation exists solely to support the specific Thai villages where our bags are made. We don’t fund national campaigns or open donations. The 15% return goes directly to local families, mostly women, who rely on weaving to earn. It also helps their neighbours, children, and elders when things get tough. Support could come in the form of rice, fuel, school books, or medicine. The help is always grounded in the village itself. Areeya bags provide direct value to the same hands and households who bring them to life.

Woven Across Five Provinces in Thailand

The Areeya bag is created across five Thai provinces: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each region contributes to the process, from harvesting water hyacinth to finishing detailed floral stitching. Once a bag is sold, its 15% return is split between these communities. This ensures fair and consistent support across all our locations. It also helps keep regional weaving traditions alive. The Areeya bag reflects five local economies working together through shared skill, shared heritage, and now, shared financial reward.

Emergency Support When Life Interrupts Work

Rural life often comes with added uncertainty. Illness, injury, or weather can make it hard for artisans to maintain their work. That’s why part of the Areeya bag’s 15% return is used for emergency help. Our local contacts identify families in need and deliver supplies quickly. Whether it’s a storm-damaged home or a sudden hospital trip, we make sure support arrives when it matters most. The goal is to reduce financial pressure during unexpected setbacks. Every Areeya purchase helps maintain that safety net, offering families more resilience and fewer risks.

Helping Children Stay in School

Many artisan households include school-aged children who face barriers to education. Uniforms, books, exams, and travel can all be expensive. Our foundation uses part of each bag’s 15% return to support education. This may fund a child’s school lunch, cover a school trip, or buy study materials. Every small contribution adds up to a big difference. The Areeya bag becomes part of a student’s path to graduation. By keeping children in school, we’re not just supporting families now—we’re shaping better futures for the next generation.

Supporting Women Through Weaving Training

We also invest in the future of Thai craft. Some funds from Areeya sales support training for young women who want to learn weaving. When school ends, many have limited local job options. We provide tools, mentorship, and starter pay so they can develop real skills in straw work and embroidery. This makes weaving a viable, respectable income source. With enough support, these young women can stay in their home provinces, earn with pride, and preserve their cultural techniques. The Areeya bag is part of their journey toward independence.

Recognising Unseen Community Contributions

Weaving a bag like the Areeya is rarely a one-person job. A neighbour may carry supplies. A sister may watch the children. A grandmother may help prepare dried straw. These quiet roles matter. That’s why we allocate part of the return to people behind the scenes. Support may include household goods, small grants, or basic living help. This approach builds strong, cooperative communities where everyone feels included. Every Areeya bag represents not just one artisan, but a circle of support that grows with every sale.

Built-In Giving That Requires No Extra Step

The Areeya Flower Embroidered Water Hyacinth Bag already includes 15% support in the sale price. Buyers don’t need to add anything. The help is automatic and guaranteed. It’s a clean, transparent system that works without delay. The customer gets a thoughtful, beautifully crafted bag. The artisan’s village gets a financial boost. There are no hidden costs, no charity forms, and no middlemen. Just one purchase that delivers immediate and lasting impact to the people who created it.

Every Order Results in Real Action

Once an Areeya bag is sold, the impact begins. Within days, the 15% return is already in use—whether it’s helping a family pay a bill, buy food, or cover school needs. Our local network knows how to distribute funds with care and speed. There’s no delay and no guesswork. It’s direct help that matches real life. When a customer receives their bag, they’re also part of that timeline. Their order is already making something better somewhere in Thailand.

Respecting Local Beliefs and Giving Traditions

In our artisan villages, faith plays a strong but quiet role. Most families follow Buddhist or Christian traditions, and both value giving and shared community wellbeing. We tailor our support to match these local views. Some families see the 15% return as a way to make merit. Others see it as grace in action. We never interfere with how people interpret the help—they decide what it means in their own lives. The Areeya bag respects this diversity, honouring the cultural and spiritual frameworks that shape how our support is received.
