PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Why the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag Feels Special

The Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag combines tradition with playful detail. Its rounded basket body is handwoven from thick Thai straw, giving it a warm, textural base. A floral fabric wrap around the handle adds softness and visual contrast, while the satin bows on either side elevate its charm. The toggle closure keeps your essentials in place without interrupting the shape. This bag balances structure and flair beautifully, making it perfect for both everyday wear and seasonal outings.

The Meaning Behind the Name Ketsuda

Ketsuda is a Thai name that reflects grace and natural beauty. Naming this piece the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag highlights its gentle personality and unique shape. Each curve of the basket, each floral wrap, and every hand-tied bow captures the kind of detail that can only come from craft. The name feels right for a bag that’s bold but still feminine. It connects the product to its roots—made by women who bring character to every stitch.

A Rounded Basket Silhouette That Holds Its Form

The coiled weave of the Ketsuda bag starts from a flat base, then builds upward into a wide, round body. This shape provides balance and space, allowing the bag to stand on its own while maintaining softness in appearance. It’s not just for show—the curved sides create volume without making the bag bulky. Artisans shape every inch by hand, adjusting the tension and stitch angle to preserve this distinct silhouette. That’s what gives the bag both visual harmony and strength.

Floral Fabric Handle with Satin Bow Finish

The handle is wrapped in floral fabric that gives the bag its signature personality. The print adds contrast to the natural straw, while the texture softens the overall look. Two satin bows on either side complete the handle, giving it a feminine finish that doesn’t feel overly decorative. This detail makes the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag ideal for those who like classic shapes with expressive touches. It catches the eye without feeling loud or trendy.

Toggle Closure for Practical Use

A hand-knotted toggle closure is positioned at the top of the bag. It’s simple but functional, holding your belongings in place while maintaining the bag’s rounded profile. Because it’s made from straw, the toggle matches the body of the bag without adding visual weight. This closure helps keep the bag open when needed or loosely closed during travel. It’s a small detail, but one that makes everyday use easier. It also ensures the bag stays elegant while being functional.

Spacious Enough for Your Daily Essentials

Despite its soft curves, the Ketsuda bag holds more than you’d expect. Its wide base allows room for daily items like a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, and lip balm. The round shape means items settle naturally inside without stacking awkwardly. It’s ideal for brunch, light errands, or afternoon walks. The interior remains breathable and open, allowing you to find what you need quickly. Its size makes it suitable for both city and countryside days out.

Handwoven Straw with Natural Character

All straw used in the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag comes from riverside and farming regions of Northern Thailand. Artisans clean and sun-dry the fibres before coiling them into thick threads. These are shaped by hand into baskets without glue or filler. The straw is left in its natural tone, with no chemical treatment. This preserves its warm, golden finish and gives every bag a unique shade. The texture is clean but organic—a direct reflection of real materials.

Style It with Relaxed or Romantic Looks

This bag works especially well with linen dresses, soft knits, or summer prints. The round silhouette pairs nicely with wide sleeves, skirts, or layered neutrals. You can also style it with jeans and a blazer for something more urban. The floral handle adds just enough colour to lift muted tones. Whether you’re heading to a brunch, a garden gathering, or on a summer break, the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag adds warmth and personality to your look.

Contact us to start your design—we’ll provide previews and timelines before production begins. Standard models ship in 3 business days.

Made by Women in Thai Artisan Communities

This bag is handmade by women in Phayao, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Chiang Mai. They work from village homes, community studios, or family-run weaving cooperatives. Each artisan chooses her pace and rhythm. This independence allows women to support their families, maintain local traditions, and pass down knowledge. When you buy the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag, you support this cycle—of creation, tradition, and economic growth in rural Thailand.

Crafted Without Machinery or Shortcuts

The Ketsuda bag doesn’t come from a factory line. It’s built using real time, hands, and skill. There are no synthetic fillers or mass-cut pieces—just layers of coiled straw stitched with precision. The bows are tied by hand. The fabric is selected and wrapped with care. This is slow fashion at its best. You may notice small shifts in weave or bow placement. That’s not a flaw—it’s proof of the human touch behind the design.

Keep Your Ketsuda Bag Looking Its Best

Store the bag upright and loosely filled to help it maintain shape. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture. The straw can be gently wiped with a dry cloth or brushed with soft bristles to remove dust. If the fabric handle needs cleaning, spot-clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing or soaking. With light care, the Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag will stay beautiful through every season.

A Unique Gift for Handmade Bag Lovers

This basket bag makes a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates handmade detail and romantic style. Its floral handle and natural body suit all ages, and its story adds meaning. You can personalise it with colour changes, embroidery, or initials for an added touch. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or casual celebration, the Ketsuda bag offers charm, craft, and quality—all wrapped into one well-shaped piece.

We ship to all EMS-recognised safe countries and regions including Asia, Europe, the UK, Oceania, and North America. Once your order is dispatched, we email a tracking number so you can monitor your parcel in real time. EMS offers strong international coverage, making it a trusted partner for safely sending handcrafted goods. We only charge what we pay and never add hidden shipping fees to your order.

Made by Artisans, Dispatched from Our Hub

Each Ketsuda bag is handcrafted in rural parts of Thailand such as Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Chiang Mai, and Phatthalung. These communities work independently from home or in small weaving groups. Once a bag is completed, it is sent to our main dispatch hub in Nakhon Sawan. There, our team prepares the item for international delivery. This central hub allows us to maintain consistency, conduct quality control, and efficiently manage order logistics. By working directly with each village and centralising the dispatch, we ensure that every Ketsuda bag reaches its new owner in excellent condition.

Full Quality Checks and Careful Packaging

Before any bag leaves our hands, it goes through a strict inspection. The Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag is checked for structural integrity, weave quality, and finishing. We photograph and video each bag before dispatch so we have a clear record of its condition. Every bag is placed inside a soft white cotton drawstring pouch that protects it from dust and dirt during transport. This pouch is ideal for home storage too. Our eco-conscious packaging system ensures your order arrives safely and in perfect condition, just as our artisans intended.

Delivery Timeframes by Global Region

Once dispatched, EMS Thailand provides average delivery within the following timeframes:

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 delivery estimates apply only after dispatch. They do not include production or personalisation times if your bag is custom made or hand-finished to order.

Bespoke Orders and Personalised Requests

If you have ordered a Ketsuda bag with personalised details, embroidery, or a colour from our custom options, please allow 14 to 21 business days for production. These bags are not pre-stocked and are crafted one at a time. After your custom bag is completed, it is sent to our hub for final inspection and packing. Once posted, the EMS tracking number will be sent to you by email so you can follow its progress. Bespoke orders take longer but are made to a higher personal standard.

Tracking Your Ketsuda Bag

All customers receive an EMS tracking number by email once their order has been dispatched. You can use this number to follow your parcel’s journey through the EMS website or your local country’s tracking system once it enters domestic processing. If you do not receive your tracking number within 24 hours of dispatch, please check your junk or spam folder or contact us directly. Our team monitors shipments daily and is ready to help you with updates, assistance, and advice.

Delivery via Local Postal Carriers

After your Ketsuda bag leaves Thailand, EMS passes the parcel to your local postal service for final delivery. While we remain available to help, we are not responsible for any delays or issues caused by your country’s postal carrier. This includes missed deliveries, local rerouting, or temporary service disruptions. Most of our customers receive their bags on time and without problems, but in rare cases, we may assist you in making contact with your domestic courier for resolution.

Customs Fees and Import Charges

Each country handles import rules differently. You may or may not be required to pay additional duties or VAT upon receiving your parcel. These are not included in your order total and must be paid by you if requested by customs. Most small parcels like the Ketsuda Basket Bag pass through without any charges, but it is important to understand that customs fees are decided by local authorities and not something we can control or remove. We recommend checking local guidelines in advance.

Sustainable Packing and Responsible Delivery

Our packaging is plastic-free and designed to be both protective and eco-friendly. Each Ketsuda bag comes in a reusable white cotton pouch and is packed using recyclable cardboard or cushioning. This reduces waste and supports our mission to be environmentally responsible. Our team personally packs every item with care so that it reaches you in pristine condition. The bag, the pouch, and the box all reflect our commitment to detail and quality at every step of the journey.

Delays and What to Expect

Sometimes, delays occur for reasons outside our control such as customs checks, severe weather, or global shipping congestion. In these cases, we continue to monitor your parcel and offer help. The vast majority of our orders arrive on time or earlier than expected. If your parcel is delayed, please get in touch with us so we can guide you or follow up with EMS. We never leave our customers without support and stay with the process until your bag is delivered.

Please Check Your Shipping Address

We kindly ask all customers to double-check their shipping address before submitting an order. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect address or failure to collect, we can re-send it. However, the customer must cover the second shipping fee. The original shipping charge will not be refunded in such cases. Ensuring your address is accurate helps us keep your delivery on time and avoids unnecessary delays or charges.

Returned Shipments and Redelivery Options

If the parcel is returned to our Thai hub, we will contact you immediately. You will have the option to cancel the order or pay for a second shipment. We are happy to resend items but must request that customers cover the cost of this second shipping. Our team makes the redelivery process simple and transparent. We keep a full record of the original condition of each item through video and photo to protect both our customers and our artisan team.

Why We Don’t Add Shipping into Product Prices

We do not hide shipping costs in our product pricing. Many brands build in the cost of shipping, which increases prices for customers who may only want to purchase a single item. EMS charges a flat rate up to 1kg, so customers ordering two or even three bags often pay the same as they would for one. This allows us to offer fairer pricing. You only pay what EMS charges us—nothing more, no inflated packaging costs or hidden fees.

Only Real EMS Charges at Checkout

At the checkout stage, you will see the exact EMS shipping charge based on your region. We do not add fees for packaging, handling, or admin. The protective cotton pouch, documentation, and video confirmation are all part of the standard process. You only pay the real cost of international airfreight, not a marked-up or bundled price. This level of honesty helps us build trust and repeat customers.

Returns and Refund Conditions

If your Ketsuda bag arrives damaged or faulty, you can request a replacement or full refund within 14 days. You must contact us within 48 hours of receiving the parcel and provide photo or video evidence. If you choose to return your bag for non-fault reasons, you may do so within 14 days at your own expense. The item must be sent back to our hub using a tracked airfreight service. Once the bag is received and confirmed to be in its original condition, we will refund the bag cost. The original shipping fee will not be refunded.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

The Ketsuda Basket Bag and Its Deeper Impact

The Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag is a celebration of Thai craftsmanship. Every detail—from its handwoven body to the floral handle—is shaped with care by skilled women in rural communities. Behind each bag is a commitment to give back. We return 15 percent of every sale to the very villages where our artisans live and work. This direct support helps with school costs, food security, training, and urgent needs. It is not a charity model. It is a fair return system that honours the makers. The Ketsuda bag blends beauty, function, and purpose into one meaningful item.

Focused Giving for Artisan Communities

Our foundation supports only those involved in the creation of our bags. It is not open to the public or managed by outside organisations. It helps the women who weave, their families, and their village neighbours who assist in daily production. This small, closed model keeps every action personal. When someone buys the Ketsuda bag, the support reaches a known household. The person receiving help is part of the same community where the bag was made. This keeps the giving targeted and immediate, with no confusion, no waste, and no disconnection between the sale and its impact.

Woven in Thailand, Invested in Thai Villages

The Ketsuda bag is made in five key provinces of Thailand: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each location contributes its own weaving style and cultural rhythm. These areas are not just production zones. They are communities we care for and invest in directly. The foundation ensures that part of every sale goes back into these villages, closing the loop between work and reward. This approach keeps funds where they are needed most and honours the cultural heritage behind every product. The Ketsuda bag is rooted in this return-based cycle of creation and care.

How the 15% Creates Daily Support

The money returned through our foundation is used in practical, visible ways. We provide school supplies, basic food parcels, transportation assistance, and emergency family support. Some funds go toward house repairs, others to medical visits or monthly needs. Everything is handled by our local Thai team who know each family and situation personally. There are no forms or waiting lists. Help arrives when it’s needed. The Ketsuda bag fuels this system. One sale means one more family gets the support they need to manage life’s challenges with dignity and less stress. The giving is steady, personal, and rooted in trust.

Removing the Hidden Costs of Education

Education can be difficult to access for families in rural Thailand. Even when school is free, the extras are not. Parents must cover uniforms, notebooks, lunches, shoes, and transport. These small costs often become the reason a child stays home. Our foundation removes that pressure. We offer consistent support so children of our weavers can remain in school. The Ketsuda bag plays a role in this. Each sale helps fund these overlooked needs. The result is simple: more girls and boys finish school with pride, and the artisans who make our products see their children grow with opportunity.

Preserving Craft by Training the Young

Weaving is not just a skill. It is a cultural legacy. That is why we invest in training programs for young women in our artisan villages. Teenagers and school leavers are offered paid opportunities to learn from older weavers in their homes. These new artisans learn the techniques used to make structured designs like the Ketsuda bag. Once they master the basics, they begin contributing to real production. This system keeps heritage alive while providing income to families. Each Ketsuda bag helps fund these sessions and ensures that Thai weaving remains a living, shared tradition across generations.

Quiet Support for Unseen Contributors

In every village, there are people who help others without seeking attention. They care for the elderly, assist struggling families, or raise grandchildren while parents work. Our foundation acknowledges these everyday heroes. We offer small grants, food assistance, or one-time support to say thank you. The Ketsuda bag helps make this possible. Each purchase contributes to the budget that funds this recognition. These gestures do not solve everything, but they show someone that their kindness matters. We believe support should not be limited to production. It should also honour the people who give strength to their community behind the scenes.

Simple, Fast, and Reliable Support

Our response system works because it is local. When a family needs help, our Thai team steps in quickly. There is no delay, no red tape, and no outside administration. Everything is managed by people who know the families personally. Whether it is covering travel to a hospital, repairing a home, or delivering groceries, support arrives fast. The Ketsuda bag helps keep this response possible. Every sale adds flexible funding to the system. That means when something unexpected happens, we are ready. This model is based on care, timing, and community. It is dependable because it stays close to the people.

Built on Thai Spiritual and Cultural Values

Our foundation reflects the beliefs and traditions of the villages we serve. In Thailand, giving is a respected practice. In Buddhist communities, it is part of merit-making. In Christian households, it is an act of love. We do not align with any one belief, but we respect both. We give in a way that reflects local values. The Ketsuda bag comes from homes shaped by humility, care, and generosity. The support it provides carries those same qualities. When you carry this bag, you carry part of that culture with you—quiet, kind, and rooted in community.

A Shared Return, Not a Donation

Our system is not charity. It is fair return. The women who make the Ketsuda bag are paid for their work, but we go further. We return 15 percent of each sale to support their community long after the product is shipped. This is not optional. It is built into our model. Buyers do not need to give more. The bag does that already. The support is not a one-time gesture. It is steady, reliable, and part of every order. The Ketsuda bag is an example of how beautiful products can create fair outcomes when systems are designed with care.

Every Sale Equals One Moment of Help

The Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag does not sit on a shelf without purpose. It funds something specific with each sale. That might be schoolbooks for a child, a food parcel for an elder, or transport for a mother taking her child to hospital. These are real needs met through a simple, steady model. One bag. One act of support. Over time, this adds up to stronger villages and more resilient families. The impact is quiet, but it is felt. Every buyer becomes part of a loop of kindness that starts with craft and ends with real care.

Fifteen Percent Is Always Included

We never adjust our 15 percent return. It is built into every product we sell, including the Ketsuda bag. The amount does not change during sales periods or busy seasons. It stays fixed so that our support can remain dependable. This structure gives our artisan partners confidence that help will continue. It gives customers the assurance that their purchase has value beyond design. No added donation is needed. The giving happens automatically, every time. The system is clean, honest, and based on real numbers. The Ketsuda bag is a product that gives as much as it receives—every time.

The Foundation Story Woven Into the Ketsuda Bag

The Ketsuda Straw Floral Handle Basket Bag is defined by its structure, detail, and craftsmanship. But beneath the design is a deeper system that supports the people who made it. Each sale strengthens a community through training, education, food, emergency response, and quiet acts of recognition. The bag holds more than belongings. It holds intention. It carries the work of a village and returns value to that same place. This is not just a product. It is a connection between artisan and customer, built on fairness, purpose, and respect. That is the real story behind the Ketsuda bag.
