PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Handwoven Craft of the Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag

The Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag is crafted entirely by hand using traditional Thai coiling methods. Women artisans gather natural straw, dry it under the sun, and weave it into a sturdy, curved body using hand-coiled rows. Each section is made with multicoloured strands that are individually selected and arranged to create the bag’s vibrant rainbow pattern. Every detail, from the tight weave to the shaped base, is guided by skill rather than machinery. This handcrafted technique makes every bag unique and full of personality.

Multicoloured Weave for Maximum Impact

What makes this straw beach bag immediately stand out is its rainbow-coloured pattern. The weave includes bright shades of pink, blue, yellow, green, and purple, creating a cheerful and bold statement piece. These colours aren’t just randomly mixed. Artisans arrange them in a flowing spiral that gives movement to the structure. Whether you’re pairing it with a swimsuit, linen outfit, or summer dress, the rainbow tones bring colour and joy to every scene.

Large Pom-Pom Tassels for Playful Texture

Attached to one handle is a row of oversized pom-poms in soft pastel tones. Pale pink, lilac, ivory, baby blue, and sunshine yellow fluff add movement and fun to the overall look. Tied with a pink ribbon, the pom-poms feel light and cloudlike. These decorations are removable, allowing you to customise the look based on mood or occasion. Their softness contrasts the sturdy straw, creating a blend of whimsy and structure that feels fresh and beach-ready.

Circular Woven Handles with Comfortable Grip

The bag features two round woven handles wrapped in straw for a uniform, clean finish. These circular handles feel sturdy and natural in the hand. They’re wide enough for a comfortable grip, even when the bag is full, and their rounded shape complements the bag’s wide, curved body. Whether you’re heading to the beach, market, or poolside brunch, these handles make carrying simple and comfortable.

The Meaning Behind the Name ‘Chanthira’

In Thai, Chanthira (จันทรา) means “moonlight” or “as radiant as the moon.” This name reflects the bag’s vibrant glow and its ability to stand out with a soft, uplifting presence. Just like moonlight on water, the Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag lights up every outfit with its colour and charm. The soft pom-poms echo the gentleness in the name, while the bright weave adds energy. The name perfectly fits this bag’s joyful spirit and balanced beauty.

Spacious Enough for Beach Essentials

This straw beach bag offers plenty of room without feeling bulky. The wide, rounded body easily fits a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, book, and a change of clothes. It’s also lined with soft fabric to protect your items and keep sand out. You won’t struggle to fit your essentials. The structure stays upright when placed down, so it’s ideal for setting beside you on a beach mat or deck chair.

Ethically Made with Community Support

Artisans in Phayao, Northern Thailand, make each Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag in their own homes using skills passed down through generations. The Straw Bag Company pays fair wages and supports each artisan with flexible, home-based work. 15 percent of all profits go back into the community, helping with healthcare, education, and weaving apprenticeships. Carrying this bag supports rural families and sustainable craftsmanship.

Plastic-Free and Planet-Friendly Materials

The bag is made entirely from biodegradable straw and natural fibre threading. The pom-poms are crafted from cotton and wool blend yarns, and there are no synthetic linings, plastic straps, or zippers. This makes it a great choice for those who want to reduce their plastic use without giving up colour or style. The Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag shows that eco-friendly fashion can still be expressive and bold.

Perfect for Travel and Tropical Holidays

This bag is lightweight, flexible, and designed to pack flat into a suitcase or beach bag. It springs back into shape easily and works as a beach tote, day bag, or colourful accessory on holiday. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or walking to a beach café, it adds tropical flair with function. Its festive look pairs perfectly with sunny destinations and laid-back travel plans.

Pairs Beautifully with Bright or Neutral Outfits

Because of its rainbow palette, this bag complements nearly any summer outfit. You can style it with denim shorts, a white dress, or bright swimwear, and it instantly lifts the look. The natural straw base keeps it grounded while the colours add dimension. It’s bold without clashing, designed to match the energy of sunny days and creative wardrobes.

Part of Our Decorative and Beach Bag Collections

The Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag is featured in our Decorative Straw Bags and Straw Beach Holiday Bags collections. It also appears in the Handmade Straw Bags range, alongside other artisan-woven favourites. These collections highlight seasonal style with artisan quality, giving you unique, eye-catching designs that don’t follow fast fashion trends.

Ideal Gift for Summer Birthdays or Holidays

This bag makes a perfect gift for birthdays, summer getaways, or bridesmaid thank-you presents. Its colours suit all ages, and its shape is universally flattering and fun. If you’re gifting it, the story of its handmade origin adds meaning. Each one arrives with a photo of the finished product so the recipient can see the exact piece made just for them.

Safe and Comfortable for All-Day Use

With soft handles, smooth lining, and a gentle texture, this bag is easy to carry even when full. The round grip prevents wrist strain, and the open-top design lets you reach in quickly when needed. It’s practical for long summer days out when comfort and accessibility matter as much as appearance.

Durable Enough for Active Days

Though lightweight, the bag’s tight weave gives it strength. The structure stays firm even when packed, and the reinforced base helps it stand upright. You won’t need to baby it. Whether it’s tossed in the back of a car, carried to the beach, or set on the sand, the Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag holds up beautifully.

This global service provides fast, trackable, and secure delivery to over 200 countries. Shipping times apply only after the parcel has been handed to EMS. Orders requiring custom production are subject to additional lead times before dispatch.

Asia-Pacific: 3–5 business days
Europe and UK: 4–9 business days
North America: 5–7 business days

These estimates may vary due to customs inspections or local delivery conditions. Once EMS transfers the parcel to your country’s postal service, that provider completes the final stage of delivery.

Production Timelines for Custom Orders

If you request a custom version of the Chanthira Bag—such as colour-adjusted pom-poms, added embroidery, or alternate strap finishes—our artisan teams will require 14 to 21 days to complete the work. These bags are woven by hand in Phayao, Chiang Mai, Phatthalung, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Standard versions are typically in stock and dispatched within 3 business days. Each version is made using traditional skills and finished with care.

Inspection, Photography, and Packaging

Before shipping, each Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Bag undergoes a full quality inspection. Our team checks pom-pom stitching, straw structure, and finishing details. The bag is then photographed and videoed for records before being placed in a white cotton drawstring bag. It is securely packed in durable airfreight packaging to preserve its shape and detail during international transit.

Transparent EMS-Based Shipping Rates

Shipping costs are based on EMS Thailand’s official pricing system. A flat rate applies for parcels up to 1kg, meaning many customers can ship two bags for the same cost as one. We do not inflate product pricing to cover shipping. All rates are shown clearly at checkout to ensure you pay only the actual shipping fee, with no hidden charges or bundled costs.

Duties, Customs, and Delivery Responsibility

In most countries, our customers receive parcels without customs charges. However, duties and taxes may apply depending on local regulations. These costs are the buyer’s responsibility. Once EMS hands over the parcel to your national postal provider, they are responsible for final delivery. If any issues arise during this process, we are available to assist with tracking or guidance.

Faulty Items and Refund Process

If your Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag arrives damaged or with a fault, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We offer a 14-day return window for faulty or incorrect items. Refunds apply only to the cost of the bag. Original shipping costs are only refunded if the issue is confirmed. All return items must be shipped via tracked airfreight back to our Nakhon Sawan hub for inspection.

Return Conditions and Handling

Returned items must be unused, undamaged, and packaged in original condition. Customised bags are non-returnable unless faulty. Customers must repack items securely and use tracked airfreight. Once the returned item is received and inspected, a refund will be processed to the original payment method. Items damaged after delivery or returned without tracking may not qualify for a refund.

Parcel Tracking and Customer Support

Your EMS Thailand tracking number will be emailed once your Chanthira Bag is dispatched. It is your responsibility to follow the parcel’s journey and notify us if any issues occur. If delays are caused by your national postal carrier, our support team is available to assist with updates or advice on how to escalate locally.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

How the Chanthira Beach Bag Supports Artisan Families

The Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag brings joy to more than just the buyer. Every sale reinvests 15% directly into the homes of the women who create it. That support helps cover groceries, school fees, transport, and emergency needs in rural Thai households. In villages where income can be seasonal or unstable, this extra boost makes weaving a reliable, empowering livelihood. The Chanthira bag represents freedom—freedom for women to work from home, earn with pride, and care for their families.

Where Chanthira Bag Support Goes

We send 100% of the 15% reinvestment directly to the artisans in our five partner provinces: Phayao, Chiang Mai, Phatthalung, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Nakhon Sawan. No money goes to outside organisations or generic campaigns. The women who twist the straw, stitch the pom-poms, and build the bag receive the support themselves. This localised model keeps the impact real, traceable, and personal. Every colourful detail you see was made by someone who benefits directly from your purchase.

How Five Provinces Collaborate on the Chanthira Bag

Each Chanthira bag may pass through multiple provinces before completion. Phatthalung handles pom-pom creation, while Chiang Mai focuses on the straw body. Final assembly might take place in Nakhon Sawan. By rotating production across regions, we keep the work balanced and inclusive. The 15% support model follows the same principle—each province receives what it helped create. That fairness strengthens our artisan network and ensures that no community is left behind.

Helping Kids Stay in School Through the Chanthira Bag

School costs are one of the most common challenges for rural families. Many parents struggle to afford books, shoes, transport, or exam fees. That’s why a portion of the support from each Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag helps cover these essentials. Weavers use their share to prepare their children for school, keeping them enrolled and equipped. With each purchase, customers help give a child a more stable path through education—and the confidence that comes with being ready to learn.

What Makes Our 15% Model for Chanthira Bags Work

Unlike brands that make vague donations, our Foundation commits to a fixed 15% reinvestment, tied to every bag sold. There are no vague promises or untraceable contributions. When a Chanthira bag is purchased, the artisan’s household receives a share of that specific sale. This clarity creates trust and ensures that support lands exactly where it’s needed. The women feel recognised, and the customers feel connected to the real lives behind the bag.

Real Voices Behind the Chanthira Beach Bag

In Phayao, one artisan used her Chanthira payout to buy her son’s school textbooks. In Nakhon Si Thammarat, another used it to buy bus fare for her mother’s hospital appointments. These stories aren’t one-offs—they’re examples of what this model makes possible week after week. We collect stories like these from every region to better understand our impact and to keep improving the way support is delivered. Each rainbow pom-pom carries a little more colour than meets the eye.

Preserving Weaving Traditions Through the Chanthira Bag

From the curved weave of the base to the playful fringe of pom-poms, every part of the Chanthira bag reflects Thai craft knowledge. These techniques are taught through families, and they change slowly with time. Without support, that kind of slow, careful work would disappear. But the Foundation helps artisans keep it going—by paying fairly, consistently, and with respect for their time. That support allows each region to hold onto its heritage while adapting with confidence.

Training Young Women to Make the Chanthira Bag

New generations of Thai girls are learning to weave, decorate, and finish the Chanthira Beach Bag through our village training programs. They earn wages during their apprenticeship, which helps keep them involved without pressure to leave for city jobs. Senior artisans teach them pom-pom technique, shaping, and finishing work. Once trained, they become part of the production team. This approach passes on more than skill—it builds identity, career pathways, and cultural continuity.

How Chanthira Bag Sales Fund Emergency Help

Rural life comes with challenges—storm damage, illness, and sudden travel needs can create major setbacks. That’s why we set aside part of the 15% fund from each Chanthira bag for urgent relief. When crisis strikes, we step in fast. We’ve covered hospital fees, roof repairs, and vehicle breakdowns. This support helps families stay afloat when things get difficult. Even a single bag sale can make a huge difference at the right time.

Why the Chanthira Bag Keeps Thai Style Alive

The Chanthira Rainbow Pom-Pom Straw Beach Bag blends tradition with colour in a way that feels joyful, grounded, and modern. The straw weaving is traditional. The colours are playful. Together, they celebrate Thai style in motion. Our artisans create without being rushed, using the skills they’ve learned over decades. That’s why every bag feels personal. And it’s why Thai design, rooted in rhythm and craft, continues to stand out on a global stage.
