PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote with Floral Finish

The Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote blends handcrafted charm with thoughtful design. It features a compact, upright silhouette made from tightly woven water hyacinth straw. Bright floral embroidery stitched onto the front adds personality and colour. The overall design is both feminine and structured, making it ideal for warm weather styling, casual outings, or relaxed events. This is a handcrafted tote you’ll carry often and enjoy for seasons to come.

Handwoven Structure with Lasting Shape

Each bag begins with natural straw, selected for its soft texture and durability. Artisans weave the body into a clean, vertical shape that resists slouching. Because of this structure, the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote stands upright even when partially filled. This quality gives it a more polished look compared to slouchy open totes. You’ll appreciate its balance of elegance and everyday functionality.

Detailed Floral Embroidery on the Front

A cluster of hand-stitched daisies decorates the front of the bag in lilac, yellow, and green tones. The placement is slightly offset for a modern, relaxed aesthetic. These flowers are embroidered directly into the weave, not glued or screen-printed. As a result, the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote maintains vibrant detail over time. This embroidery gives the bag character while reinforcing its handmade identity.

Drawstring Lining Adds Security and Style

The inside of the tote features a soft drawstring lining in a neutral shade. It provides added protection for your belongings and prevents items from slipping out. You can leave the top slightly open or close it securely, depending on your needs. The drawstring finish also adds a gentle contrast to the straw body. That’s why the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote is practical for both casual outings and more active days.

Beaded Wooden Handles with a Sculptural Feel

Instead of traditional straps, this tote uses circular wooden bead handles. Each smooth bead is strung tightly to form a rounded loop that sits comfortably in the hand or on the forearm. The beads add texture and visual weight to the top of the bag. Because of this, the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote feels balanced and easy to carry while standing out as a statement accessory.

Purple Fabric Bow for a Playful Accent

Tied to one handle is a printed scarf in rich purple tones with subtle floral patterns. This bow complements the embroidered daisies while adding a pop of colour and softness. It’s easily removable or adjustable depending on your mood. If you prefer a cleaner look, simply untie it. The Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote gives you flexible styling options in one cohesive design.

Compact Shape with Room for Daily Needs

Despite its small footprint, the bag fits more than you’d expect. There’s space for a phone, wallet, sunglasses, and a few extras like a lip balm or compact umbrella. The upright structure prevents sagging, while the lining keeps contents from shifting. Because it’s so lightweight, the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote is perfect for long days out or quick errands around town.

A Seasonal Favourite for Spring and Summer

The floral and straw combination makes this a perfect bag for warmer months. It works with soft pastel outfits, crisp whites, and natural linen. You can carry it to outdoor lunches, picnics, or market days. It also travels well thanks to its compact size and flexible top. The Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote adds personality to any vacation or weekend wardrobe.

Made by Hand Using Thai Craft Techniques

This bag is entirely handmade in Thailand, where artisans weave, stitch, and assemble each component from start to finish. The straw body is shaped by hand, then the floral embroidery is stitched onto the completed frame. Handles are added with care, and the lining and bow finish the design. That’s what makes the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote feel personal, thoughtful, and real.

Designed for Use as Well as Beauty

While its floral accents and smooth handle shape are eye-catching, this bag is also built to be used. The tight weave resists fraying, and the reinforced base holds structure over time. You can rely on it for regular wear. The Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote is the rare type of bag that feels delicate but performs like a daily essential.

An Ideal Gift with a Handmade Touch

Looking for a special gift? This tote suits birthdays, holidays, and moments that call for something memorable. Because no two are exactly alike, each one carries a story. The Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote delivers elegance, usefulness, and personality in a way that feels thoughtful. It’s an easy win for women of all ages.

Stylish Features in Every Detail

From the looped wooden handles to the floral embroidery and drawstring interior, every feature is designed to add value. This isn’t a basic summer tote. It’s layered with texture and meaning. You’ll find the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote fits just as easily at a café as it does at a garden party. It adapts, enhances, and elevates your day-to-day.

Made for Lightness Without Compromise

Even when fully packed, the bag stays comfortable to carry. Its materials are natural and breathable, which helps on warmer days. The handles sit comfortably in your hand without digging or slipping. With all this, the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote keeps you stylish and mobile wherever your day takes you.

Colour Palette Inspired by Thai Gardens

The embroidered daisies draw from garden blooms common across northern Thailand. Lilac petals, yellow centres, and soft green leaves feel seasonal yet timeless. Paired with a soft purple bow and neutral straw body, the palette is cheerful but not loud. That’s why the Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote fits easily into any spring or summer look.

What the Name ‘Orrawan’ Means

In Thai, the name “Orrawan” reflects quiet grace and refined beauty. This tote reflects that meaning through every element, from the flowers to the natural straw and structured shape. Naming each bag after a Thai woman celebrates the culture and talent behind it. The Orrawan Embroidered Straw Tote carries meaning, design, and heritage in one memorable form.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

Every Bag Starts With a Woman

The Orrawan Tote is more than embroidery and straw. It begins with a Thai artisan—often a mother or grandmother—working patiently to hand-stitch every detail. These women rely on weaving as both cultural expression and steady income. Behind each loop of thread is a story of resilience, skill, and pride in craftsmanship.

Our 15% Reinvestment Model

We commit 15% of profits directly to the rural communities behind every bag. That means your purchase helps pay fair wages, support family education, and improve artisan homes. This isn’t a temporary initiative. It’s a built-in part of our structure, ensuring long-term benefit for every woman in our network.

Handmade in Small Villages

From Phayao to Chiang Mai, our artisans work in home-based workshops that balance productivity with community life. They don’t commute to factories or face unsafe conditions. Instead, they create in safe, flexible environments where cultural traditions thrive. The Orrawan Tote reflects that balance of tradition, freedom, and pride.

Stitch by Stitch: The Process

Each Orrawan Tote takes 24 to 36 hours to complete. The embroidery alone can take an entire day, especially when flowers and decorative accents are hand-placed. This time-intensive process allows for stunning detail that no machine can replicate. It’s not rushed. It’s respected.

Sustaining Thai Weaving Traditions

The embroidery techniques used on this tote have roots in Northern Thai textile traditions. By integrating them into our straw bags, we protect these heritage techniques from disappearing. Your support helps keep ancient methods alive, now reimagined in a fresh, wearable form.

A Living Wage, Not Piece Rate

Our artisans are paid fairly for their time, not by the piece. This guarantees stability regardless of how many bags are completed in a week. It also encourages focus on quality, not speed. The result? Higher standards, less stress, and products with soul.

Women Driving Change

The Orrawan Tote represents more than craft—it represents women leading economic change. Our artisans aren’t anonymous factory workers. They’re named, known, and vital to the communities they support. We believe when women earn, families and villages rise with them. That belief powers everything we do.

Impact Beyond the Bag

That 15% you help generate goes to things that matter: school fees, transport to medical clinics, and tools for the next generation of weavers. It’s not abstract. It’s practical, visible, and driven by need. Every Orrawan Tote is a step forward for someone in our artisan network.

Ethical Fashion That’s Real

Sustainability isn’t just about natural materials. It’s about how people are treated during production. We keep our process transparent, from the local water hyacinth harvest to the final stitched detail. Our bags are free of exploitation, and rich in meaning.

What This Model Proves

The Orrawan Tote proves that ethical business can be beautiful and profitable. When 15% of revenue goes back to those who make the product, everyone wins. Customers receive quality, artisans earn fairly, and traditional Thai craft thrives—not just survives—in the modern market.
