PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Chic and Playful: Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody

The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody blends cute details with an elevated silhouette. Crafted from tightly handwoven Thai straw, this compact crossbody features pearl-like bead handles, a matching crossbody strap, pastel pom-poms, and a secure cotton drawstring lining. Its combination of natural texture and glossy detail makes it feel fresh and creative. From spring styling to holiday looks, this bag carries colour and character in a wearable, everyday form.

The Meaning Behind the Name “Kannikar”

“Kannikar” is a Thai name that symbolises purity and brightness, often associated with the golden gardenia flower. This meaning ties in beautifully with the bag’s soft palette and gentle charm. The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody reflects the lightness and feminine energy in its name. It’s a bag made to uplift, both in tone and mood, while remaining completely practical for daily wear.

Handwoven Straw Built With Detail and Strength

The body is crafted from sustainably sourced water hyacinth, shaped into a tapered rectangular silhouette that holds its form. Women artisans from Thailand use traditional weaving methods to bind each strand into a tight, flexible shell. The compact size allows for easy day-to-day use, while the texture and shape give it a sculptural quality. Every Kannikar Crossbody shows the value of patience and precision.

Pearl-Style Handles and Crossbody Strap

The standout feature of this mini bag is its glossy pearl-like beading. Both the top handle and crossbody strap are made from perfectly rounded, polished faux pearls strung tightly into arcs. They catch the light without overpowering the natural straw. The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody walks the line between playful and elegant, with the beads adding just enough structure and shine.

Drawstring Lining With Soft Cotton Finish

Inside the straw body is a cotton drawstring liner, designed to keep your items secure and your carry lightweight. The white fabric lining features a tropical pineapple or floral print, adding a hidden layer of colour and whimsy. It also keeps smaller items from slipping out or snagging on the woven straw. The Kannikar Straw Crossbody offers practical design wrapped in cheerful detail.

Pastel Pom-Poms for Colour and Movement

Attached to one handle is a stack of multicoloured pastel pom-poms, each handmade and sewn together in descending size. They range from mint and blush to lavender and lemon, giving the bag a soft rainbow effect. These pom-poms swing gently as you walk, bringing life and charm. On the Kannikar Crossbody Bag, they serve as both accessory and expression.

Perfect Mini Size for Light Carry Days

This bag may be compact, but it’s more than just decorative. The interior comfortably fits a smartphone, cards, keys, and lipstick or travel-size lotion. The drawstring liner expands gently to fit a little more, while keeping everything in place. The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody is ideal for brunches, parties, or light city days when you want to travel easy and still turn heads.

A Favourite in Our Small & Mini Straw Bags Collection

This piece is a highlight in our Small & Mini Straw Bags category. While it brings a bit more decoration than others in the line, it still fits right in with its handwoven base, tactile handle, and natural build. The Kannikar Straw Crossbody suits anyone who loves small bags with standout features that feel handcrafted and personal.

Ideal for Spring Styling and Travel Looks

Customers often pair this bag with sundresses, linen trousers, or casual daywear. Its pastel tones match soft palettes, while the pearl accents dress up even simple silhouettes. Whether worn across the body or held by hand, the Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody looks natural in sunshine and adds personality to travel wardrobes.

A Thoughtful Gift for Someone Who Loves Detail

Thanks to its mix of colour, charm, and light-hearted style, this bag makes a great gift. It’s a top choice for birthdays, spring holidays, or thank-you gifts. The Kannikar Straw Pom-Pom Bag suits a wide range of ages and fashion styles, especially those who appreciate accessories that feel unique, fun, and made with care.

Built to Last With Ethical Intentions

Water hyacinth is biodegradable and fast-growing, making it one of Thailand’s most renewable fibres. We use it in all our woven products, and it’s harvested and processed without chemicals or machines. The beaded handles are made from durable plastic pearls, stitched together by hand. When you carry the Kannikar Crossbody, you’re supporting not just beauty—but also sustainability and village craftsmanship.

Lightweight Design for Comfortable All-Day Wear

The body is small enough to remain light, even with the strap fully extended. The pearls are hollow, keeping the bag from becoming too heavy. Whether slung across the body or held at your side, the Kannikar Mini Straw Bag feels effortless to carry all day. Customers often comment on how wearable it is, even with all its visual features.

Easy to Care for, Easy to Store

Keep your bag in dry conditions and away from moisture or sharp objects. The drawstring liner can be hand-washed and dried flat. Dust the straw body gently with a dry cloth, and use a damp cloth for the pearl strap if needed. With just a little upkeep, your Kannikar Straw Crossbody will stay beautiful for years.

A Crossbody That Feels Special Without Being Fragile

Many mini bags sacrifice function for looks. This one doesn’t. It’s decorative, but sturdy. The strap is strong, the lining secure, and the construction thoughtful. The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody was designed to be worn, used, and loved—whether on weekends, on holiday, or at events where you want something cheerful but still polished.

Important Note About Pom-Poms and Lining

The pastel pom-poms and inner drawstring lining are handmade in limited batches. Their colours and print may vary slightly from those shown. However, we always use similar tones to match the bag’s core design. If you’d like to preview the exact colours available, we’re happy to provide a photo before or after purchase. This ensures your Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody stays true to its handcrafted charm while meeting your expectations.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Worldwide EMS Delivery from Thailand

Every Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody is shipped using EMS Thailand World Airfreight. This is a globally trusted courier that offers fast, trackable service to most safe international destinations. Once your bag leaves our dispatch hub, we’ll send you a tracking number so you can follow it all the way to your doorstep. EMS delivery is flat-rated up to one kilogram, meaning if you order one, two, or sometimes even three bags, your shipping cost often stays the same. This makes it more cost-effective to order multiple items in one shipment and ensures no hidden costs are buried in our product prices.

Where Our Bags Are Made and Shipped

Kannikar bags are woven by hand in rural communities across Thailand, including locations such as Chiang Mai, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Phatthalung. Once completed, the bags are sent to our central shipping hub in Nakhon Sawan. From there, we carry out professional packing and arrange international delivery. This process helps maintain consistent quality across all orders. It also allows our weaving communities to focus purely on craftsmanship, while our logistics team ensures the finished product reaches you efficiently and securely.

Bag Inspections, Photography, and Careful Packaging

Before your Kannikar bag is shipped, our master weavers perform a full inspection. They check for weaving consistency, handle strength, and decorative detailing. We take clear photographs and short videos of the bag before it’s packed. Each item is then placed inside a reusable white cotton drawstring pouch for added protection during shipping and storage. The cotton bag helps keep your product clean and safe while in transit, and also gives you an easy way to store the bag between uses. This attention to detail ensures you receive your bag exactly as pictured.

Estimated EMS Delivery Durations

EMS shipping times vary by region. Please note, these estimates apply to physical delivery only and do not include production times for customised orders:

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

While EMS is typically fast and reliable, customs checks and local holidays may cause occasional minor delays.

When Extra Time Is Needed for Custom Orders

If your Kannikar bag includes personalisation, colour changes, or made-to-order embroidery, please allow 14 to 21 business days for our weaving teams to complete the item. Only after your custom bag has been made and checked will it be sent to our Nakhon Sawan hub for packaging and shipping. Delivery time begins once the bag leaves our facility. Please allow for this production window when placing bespoke orders.

Track Your Order Anytime

Once your Kannikar bag has been posted, we’ll email you an EMS tracking number. This allows you to view real-time updates on your parcel’s journey. If you don’t see the email within 24 hours of receiving your shipping notification, check your spam folder or reach out to us directly. Our team is always available to help you find and track your order. We aim to provide full visibility from dispatch to delivery.

Role of Local Postal Carriers

EMS handles the international leg of the shipment. Once your parcel arrives in your country, the final delivery is made by your national postal service or another local carrier. Although we are happy to help track the parcel, The Straw Bag Company is not responsible for delivery issues caused by local carriers after EMS handover. The good news is that most deliveries proceed without issues and arrive on time.

Import Duties and Charges Are Rare but Possible

While most orders clear customs without any added fees, there is still a small chance that your local customs authority may apply VAT or import taxes. These are not included in your order total and are the responsibility of the customer. Based on our shipping history, the majority of our customers do not incur additional customs costs, but it can happen depending on the country. If you have concerns, check your local postal regulations or customs site before ordering.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging

We are committed to low-waste shipping. Your Kannikar Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody is packed in recyclable materials and sent in a protective cotton pouch that doubles as a dust bag. We do not use plastic fillers or unnecessary packaging. Every step in our process reflects our commitment to eco-responsibility and a clean, beautiful delivery experience.

Handling Potential Shipping Delays

Occasionally, there may be delays due to customs, severe weather, or high-volume shipping periods. While these events are rare, they are beyond our control. If your parcel takes longer than expected to arrive, contact us for support. We will continue to monitor the situation and work with EMS to resolve any issues. Our goal is to get your order to you quickly and with full communication at every stage.

Check Shipping Address Carefully

Please make sure your address is accurate and complete at the time of checkout. If your package is returned due to incorrect address details or failure to accept the delivery, we can resend it—but the reshipping cost will need to be covered by you. The original shipping charge will not be refunded in these cases.

Returns and Resending Procedures

If your parcel is returned to our dispatch hub, we will contact you and offer a reshipment or refund. In either case, we require the bag to be in new, unused condition. The cost to reship will need to be paid before we send it out again. We want every customer to be happy, and we’re here to make sure everything goes smoothly with your order.

Why We Don’t Hide Shipping Fees in Prices

Many brands build shipping into their bag prices to make delivery look free. We don’t. EMS has flat pricing for parcels up to 1kg, and we think it’s unfair to include those costs in the product price—especially when customers order multiple bags and the rate doesn’t change. Instead, you see the actual cost of shipping during checkout, and that’s exactly what we pay EMS on your behalf.

Fair Shipping Charges, No Surprises

At checkout, your EMS shipping fee is calculated automatically by region. We don’t add anything extra for handling or packaging. What you pay for postage is what we pay to EMS Thailand. This keeps your pricing honest and transparent, with no added fees hiding in the background.

Returns Accepted Within 14 Days of Receipt

If your Kannikar bag arrives damaged, notify us within 48 hours with photos or a short video. We offer full refunds or replacements for items with clear manufacturing issues. If you change your mind or want to return the bag for personal reasons, that’s fine too. You have 14 days to send it back. Returns must be shipped to our hub in Thailand using tracked airfreight, and we must receive a tracking number. Once the item is received and verified to be unused, we’ll refund the bag’s cost. Shipping is not refundable unless the return is due to a product fault.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

Every Kannikar Bag Sale Gives 15% Back

The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody is a vibrant, handcrafted piece with a built-in purpose. For every bag sold, 15% of the sale goes straight back to support the communities that made it. That support reaches rural families in Thailand who rely on weaving as their primary income. The funds help pay for everyday necessities such as food, school supplies, repairs, and personal care items. It’s a direct return built into the business, not a temporary promotion. Each Kannikar bag becomes a small but lasting way to support the people who make your purchase possible.

Helping Our Own Weavers and Their Villages

Our support is focused and local. The 15% does not go to large-scale organisations or national campaigns. It stays within the network of artisan villages where the Kannikar bag is designed, woven, and assembled. That means only the women and families behind the bag—and the people who help them—receive this benefit. This approach allows our team to respond to individual needs with care and speed. Each sale helps maintain a respectful, sustainable system that rewards traditional work while offering help where it’s truly needed.

Made Across Five Thai Provinces With Care

The Kannikar bag is the result of collaboration across five artisan-rich regions in Thailand: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each province brings unique skills and local methods, combining generations of knowledge with a modern eye for colour and texture. When a Kannikar bag sells, the 15% support is shared based on the contribution from each area. This fair distribution ensures all participating regions benefit equally. It keeps rural economies alive and lets families work with confidence, knowing their time and skill are valued properly.

Quick Help for Real-Life Emergencies

We understand that life in rural villages can be unpredictable. That’s why a portion of the 15% from every Kannikar sale is used for urgent help. This may include repairing broken homes, covering emergency transport, or replacing damaged tools. Our system is fast and local, meaning families don’t need to wait for slow processes or permission. We work with community contacts who know exactly what’s needed and who needs it most. Each Kannikar purchase builds a reserve that’s ready to make a difference the moment something goes wrong.

Making Education More Accessible for Artisan Families

For many families involved in weaving, sending children to school is a financial challenge. Even when school is free, essentials like shoes, books, lunches, and transport still cost money. The Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody helps ease that pressure. The 15% return helps pay for school-related costs so children can attend confidently and consistently. This support gives families peace of mind and helps reduce drop-out risks caused by financial stress. With each Kannikar bag sold, the children of our weavers move one step closer to a stable and educated future.

Training Future Weavers in Local Villages

To keep Thailand’s weaving traditions alive, we use part of the 15% return to train new artisans. This includes school leavers, local women, and daughters of current weavers. These newcomers learn the skills required to produce handcrafted bags like the Kannikar crossbody. Our training covers straw preparation, colour techniques, stitching, and finishing details such as the decorative pom-poms. With support for tools and basic materials, new artisans can start their journey confidently. Every Kannikar bag helps fund this training and ensure that heritage weaving continues in the next generation.

Recognising the Full Team Behind the Bag

It takes more than one person to create a Kannikar bag. While a single weaver might assemble the final product, many people contribute behind the scenes. Someone prepares the straw, another handles materials, while others help with errands or childcare during weaving hours. Our support model allows the 15% to be shared among all contributors. This inclusive approach respects the invisible roles that make the visible work possible. Every Kannikar bag carries the spirit of collaboration, and our foundation honours everyone involved in bringing it to life.

Built-In Support With Every Single Purchase

When a customer buys a Kannikar Pearl Handle Straw Pom-Pom Crossbody, they don’t need to donate extra or take further action. The 15% support is already built into the price. It’s not optional, seasonal, or hidden—it’s automatic. This approach removes all pressure from the buyer while ensuring real help for the artisans. Every single bag includes this impact, no matter where it ships or who buys it. Customers enjoy a handcrafted design, and artisan families receive fast, reliable assistance in return.

Support That Moves Quickly After Each Sale

Unlike traditional aid systems, we don’t wait for quarterly planning or large budgets. The 15% from each Kannikar bag goes into action right after purchase. Families can request support as needed, and village teams help distribute funds quickly and fairly. That might mean emergency groceries, mobile phone credit, or transport help for a school exam. Small actions make a big difference in village life. Because the model is fast and rooted in trust, it delivers consistent results that matter to the people it serves.

Respecting Buddhist and Christian Giving Traditions

The communities behind the Kannikar bag represent a mix of Thai religious traditions. Some are Buddhist and view this support as merit-making. Others are Christian and see it as a form of shared blessing and kindness. We make no judgement between them. Our job is to ensure the support reaches the right people in the most respectful way. Whether a family prays at the temple or church, they receive help without conditions. The 15% return is given with dignity, and every bag becomes a quiet extension of goodwill.
