PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Straw Ribbon Bag That Balances Structure and Charm

The Nanthita Women’s Straw Ribbon Bag combines delicate detail with a solid form. Its compact square body is handwoven from thick straw coils, giving it strength without heaviness. A glossy pink beaded handle arches over the top, offering an elegant grip. Finished with a satin floral ribbon bow and matching button clasp, this straw ribbon bag becomes more than just practical—it turns into a statement. Its soft embellishments complement the strong silhouette, creating a balanced, feminine accessory.

Handwoven by Skilled Thai Artisans

Each bag begins with water hyacinth gathered from local Thai waterways. Artisans dry and twist the straw before shaping it into thick coils. They build the structure row by row, stitching without machinery. This handwoven method allows women in Phayao, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Sawan to work from home while preserving traditional skills. Every Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag reflects the rhythm of real hands, making each piece slightly different and entirely authentic.

Pink Beaded Handle and Signature Ribbon Finish

What sets this straw ribbon bag apart is its glossy pink handle and floral fabric bow. The handle features a string of rounded beads that shine softly in natural light. It rests comfortably in hand while adding visual lift. The satin ribbon, wrapped at the base and tied to the side, brings in a vintage-inspired softness. A matching pink button clasp completes the look and secures the flap. These feminine features make the bag perfect for tea parties, birthdays, weddings, or afternoon events.

Roomy Enough for Essentials

Despite its petite shape, the square structure gives this straw ribbon bag more room than expected. Inside, a soft cotton lining protects your items. You can carry your phone, cardholder, lip balm, keys, and more without losing shape. The opening is wide and the flap sits neatly across the top. Because of its upright posture, the bag stays tidy and never collapses when set down. You’ll appreciate its simplicity every time you reach inside.

The Meaning Behind the Name Nanthita

In Thai, “Nanthita” suggests grace and smooth rhythm. This suits the design perfectly. The gentle sway of the ribbon, the polished handle, and the steady straw frame all reflect that quiet poise. Every detail is intentional. While the design is sweet, it also feels confident. It doesn’t need to shout to stand out. The Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag tells its story softly and beautifully—just like its name.

A Straw Ribbon Bag for All Seasons

Though it leans into spring and summer styling, this bag transitions easily. In warmer months, wear it with pastels, floral prints, or lightweight textures. During cooler weather, it adds contrast to structured coats or dark denim. The neutral straw blends easily into many palettes, while the pink bow adds a bright focal point. For more seasonal styles, browse our Coloured & Dyed Straw Bags and Small & Mini Straw Bags collections.

Lightweight Yet Durable for Daily Outings

Although the Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag feels soft in tone, it’s strong in construction. The thick straw coils provide structure that resists slouching. The beaded handle holds weight without strain, and the flap closes securely. Whether you’re heading to a market, lunch date, or casual event, the bag holds its form and travels well. It stays lightweight without feeling fragile, making it perfect for those who want something that’s both pretty and practical.

A Gift with Character and Story

This straw ribbon bag makes an ideal gift for women of all ages. It’s suitable for birthdays, bridesmaids, or any occasion where charm and sentiment matter. Because no two bags are exactly alike, it carries a personal touch that store-bought accessories often lack. The handmade origin, soft details, and classic finish give it lasting appeal.

Custom Orders and Colour Requests Welcome

We offer nine custom variations for the Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag, including different ribbon colours, linings, or handle finishes. Custom orders take 14 to 21 days and include a small additional cost. Each one is handcrafted by our Thai artisan team using the same coiling and stitching methods. Whether you’re matching an event theme or curating a group set, your custom straw ribbon bag will reflect the same care, structure, and creativity.

Natural Materials, Thoughtfully Chosen

This bag uses 100% water hyacinth straw, harvested by hand from Thai riverbanks. Artisans twist and coil the straw without chemical treatment or industrial processing. The lining is breathable cotton, and the bow and button are sewn in place without synthetic adhesives. No plastic inserts or harsh finishes are used. The result is a natural straw ribbon bag that aligns with ethical production and environmental mindfulness.

Comfortable to Hold and Easy to Love

From the first carry, the Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag feels light and balanced. The rounded beaded handle fits comfortably in hand and adds structure without stiffness. The square body doesn’t tip, collapse, or overstuff. You’ll find that it moves naturally with your day, offering both function and presence. Whether dressed up or styled down, the comfort of this piece supports effortless wear.

Each Straw Ribbon Bag is Unique

Because each bag is handcrafted, you’ll notice slight variations in weave pattern, bead spacing, or ribbon knot. These aren’t imperfections—they’re the signs of real human work. They make the bag yours and no one else’s. That’s part of the value in a handmade piece. It becomes more than an accessory. It becomes part of your personal story.

Designed to Be Worn Again and Again

This isn’t a one-season wonder. The Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag was created with reusability in mind. The neutral base and soft pink accents offer year-round styling potential. Its size makes it ideal for repeat use, and the material ages naturally without losing charm. When you want a go-to bag that still feels unique, this one rises to the occasion every time.

Straw Ribbon Bag with Real Personality

From its name to its design, this bag expresses warmth, grace, and individuality. It was built with time, shaped by hand, and finished with love. The Nanthita Straw Ribbon Bag doesn’t follow fast fashion. It stays true to a slower, more meaningful kind of style. That’s what gives it presence. And that’s why it lasts.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Global Shipping for the Nanthita Ribbon Bag

The Nanthita Women’s Straw Ribbon Bag is shipped worldwide using EMS Thailand World Airfreight. EMS provides secure and fast international delivery to major destinations. Once your order is dispatched, you’ll receive a tracking number to monitor the bag’s full journey. We believe in fair pricing, so we don’t inflate our product prices to include shipping. EMS charges a fixed rate for parcels under 1kg, meaning you can often order two or three bags for the same delivery cost as one. You only pay what we pay, and there are no extra fees added for packaging or handling.

Made in Villages, Sent from Our Central Hub

Our weaving communities are spread across Thailand, from northern areas like Phayao and Chiang Mai to southern regions like Nakhon Si Thammarat and Phatthalung. The Nanthita bag is created by hand in these rural villages using traditional techniques. After weaving, the finished product is sent to our Nakhon Sawan hub, where it’s inspected, photographed, and packed for shipping. Centralising our dispatch from Nakhon Sawan ensures consistency, efficient logistics, and thorough quality control before the bag leaves for its destination.

Inspected, Photographed, and Beautifully Packed

Before dispatch, every Nanthita bag is checked thoroughly by our lead artisans. We inspect the straw body, ribbon detail, and stitching to ensure flawless condition. Then we take clear photos and videos of the exact bag you’re receiving. Each order is packed in a reusable white cotton storage pouch to protect it during transit and for future use. The bag is then placed in an eco-friendly, plastic-free shipping box. We don’t send anything out unless we’re 100% confident in its quality and presentation.

EMS Delivery Timeframes by Region

Shipping times below apply only to transit after the item is dispatched. Bespoke or customised orders require extra production time before these estimates begin.

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
Delays may occasionally occur due to customs, peak periods, or local holidays.

Production Timelines for Custom Orders

If you’ve requested a custom colour, special ribbon, or personalised design for your Nanthita bag, our artisans will need 14 to 21 business days to complete the item. Once finished, it will be forwarded to our Nakhon Sawan hub for inspection and packaging. The EMS shipping time only begins after dispatch. This production window ensures we have time to create custom details to the highest standard and deliver a finished product you’ll be proud to own.

Live EMS Tracking After Dispatch

Once your Nanthita Ribbon Bag is posted, we’ll email you the EMS tracking number. This lets you follow your parcel from Thailand to your delivery address. If you haven’t received tracking within 24 hours, check your spam folder or contact us directly. Our team monitors all parcels and is always ready to help if you need updates or assistance. We pride ourselves on keeping you informed every step of the way.

Delivery Responsibility Transfers to Local Couriers

After EMS delivers your parcel to your country, it is handed over to your national postal service. While the majority of deliveries are smooth and punctual, we are not responsible for any delays or problems caused by local couriers. That said, we remain available to help you with tracking issues or questions. Our experience shows that most parcels arrive without problems or extra steps needed by the customer.

Most Customers Do Not Pay Import Charges

Many of our customers receive their bags without paying customs or import fees. Although this varies by country, straw bags are usually considered low-value and often pass through customs without duty. Any charges that do apply are the buyer’s responsibility. These are not included in your purchase total or shipping cost. We cannot control customs decisions, but we’re happy to advise you based on your country’s typical import process if needed.

Sustainable Packing with a Luxury Touch

The Nanthita Ribbon Bag is placed inside a clean white cotton pouch before being packed in a recyclable cardboard box. We use no plastic, no fillers, and no unnecessary wrapping. This thoughtful packaging keeps your bag safe and stylish while reducing waste. The cotton pouch can also be reused to store the bag when not in use, keeping it clean and protected for years to come.

Delays, Disruptions, and How We Help

Sometimes delays happen due to customs inspections, courier overloads, or bad weather. If your EMS delivery takes longer than expected, we’ll continue to monitor and support your parcel until it arrives. You’ll never be left to figure it out alone. Our team is always here to assist and will work with EMS and local couriers to provide updates and answers if anything unexpected occurs.

Please Double-Check Your Shipping Address

Be sure to enter your shipping information accurately at checkout. If your Nanthita bag is returned due to an incorrect or incomplete address, we’ll contact you to arrange reshipment. However, the reshipping fee will need to be covered by you. We can’t refund the original delivery fee in such cases, so it’s important to include your house number, postal code, and contact number correctly.

Returned Parcels and Reshipping Options

In the rare case that your parcel is returned to our Thailand hub, we will notify you right away. If you wish to have it resent, we’ll arrange a second delivery, with the cost covered by you. All our parcels are inspected and documented with images before dispatch, so we’re confident in the item’s condition. We aim to handle returns and reshipments as quickly and clearly as possible.

No Hidden Shipping Charges in Product Price

We don’t build shipping into our product prices because it creates unfairness. Many customers buy more than one bag, and EMS charges a flat rate for up to 1kg. Whether you order one or three bags, the shipping price often stays the same. Including shipping in the product cost would penalise multi-item buyers. That’s why we separate the two and charge only the actual shipping fee.

We Pass EMS Shipping Rates to You Directly

At checkout, you’ll see the exact shipping cost from EMS Thailand. We don’t add service, packaging, or admin fees. Our cotton bag, quality control, and video documentation are part of our service to you. The fee you see is what we are charged to send the Nanthita bag. You’ll never be surprised by extra shipping charges.

Returns Policy and How to Request a Refund

If you receive a damaged or faulty Nanthita bag, contact us within 48 hours. Provide photos or a short video to show the issue. Once approved, we will offer a refund or a replacement. If you simply change your mind, you can return the item within 14 days. Returns must be sent using tracked airfreight with a valid tracking number. Once we receive the return and confirm the condition, we’ll refund the product price. Shipping costs are not refundable unless the item is faulty.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

The Nanthita Bag With a Purpose

The Nanthita Women’s Straw Ribbon Bag blends graceful detailing with a deeper mission. For every bag sold, 15% is returned to the rural Thai communities where it was made. This return supports essential needs such as education, food, and household repairs. Behind the pink ribbon and natural straw lies a structure of care. These bags aren’t just decorative accessories—they are a form of financial support. The women who weave them rely on this income to sustain their families. Buying a Nanthita bag means contributing to a handcrafted product that uplifts the very people who bring it to life.

Local Help That Stays Focused

Our foundation supports only the artisan families and village communities who are part of the weaving process. We don’t spread funds to large-scale organisations or unrelated causes. Instead, 15% of each Nanthita sale goes directly into these connected households. Support ranges from small grocery grants to school fees and personal assistance for elderly relatives. This focused approach keeps everything local, personal, and efficient. The help reaches real people, not systems. It creates visible change that reflects the trust between maker and customer. With every purchase, you help create a loop of support that begins and ends in the village.

Five Provinces, One Shared Craft

The Nanthita bag is shaped by techniques from five Thai provinces: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each province brings its own style to the work, whether through straw weaving, base coiling, or the finishing ribbon details. When customers buy the bag, 15% of the sale is sent back to these exact regions. The model ensures that the places contributing their craft also receive the benefit. Nothing is outsourced or diluted. Everything stays tied to the people and the places where the process begins. The Nanthita tote represents a complete, circular system of value.

Quick Response for Unexpected Needs

Sometimes families face issues that cannot wait: illness, repairs, or lost income. Our foundation responds immediately. Because we work directly with artisan communities, we don’t require long forms or approvals. We visit homes, speak with families, and offer practical help. The Nanthita bag supports this system by adding to the fund that allows fast action. Each order strengthens our ability to assist without delay. Customers may never see the behind-the-scenes work, but their purchases allow it to happen. It keeps the support timely, focused, and human—reaching people not through a system, but through real relationships on the ground.

Keeping Students in Classrooms

In Thailand, schooling comes with extra costs even if tuition is free. Uniforms, transport, notebooks, and exam fees can prevent children from attending consistently. The 15% returned from each Nanthita sale helps cover those expenses. It allows us to provide basic support to help children stay enrolled and feel prepared. Sometimes it’s just enough to get through a month. Other times, it means the difference between staying in school or dropping out. These small actions have lasting effects. They open opportunities for the next generation and strengthen confidence in households that rely on weaving for daily income.

Creating Jobs for Young Women

We invest in the future of weaving by training young women to become skilled artisans. After leaving school, many are unsure how to earn a steady income. Our foundation uses part of the 15% return from each Nanthita sale to fund training sessions led by experienced weavers. These apprentices learn techniques such as straw selection, coiling, stitching, and decoration. They earn while they learn, which allows them to support themselves without needing to leave their villages. This system preserves Thai heritage and creates economic opportunity at the same time. It keeps weaving relevant for the next generation of makers.

Appreciating the Hidden Contributors

Behind every finished Nanthita bag are family members who contribute in subtle ways. Some collect straw. Others watch young children, prepare meals, or carry finished bags to collection points. These quiet roles are essential. Our foundation recognises them with small gifts, food support, or household items. A portion of the return goes toward these contributors. It helps make their effort visible and valued. The Nanthita bag, in this way, becomes a product that represents more than just style—it reflects a shared effort. We honour the work behind the scenes and ensure everyone in the process is remembered and rewarded.

No Extra Donations Required

Every Nanthita purchase includes the 15% return already. There is no additional donation required. You don’t need to select a charity box at checkout. The model is built into our pricing, which keeps the process clean and consistent. Artisans benefit immediately. Families know what to expect. And the customer knows that their purchase supports something worthwhile. This built-in return model means the support never stops. It doesn’t depend on seasonal campaigns or temporary funding. It is a permanent feature of the product. That consistency is what gives our foundation strength, reliability, and long-term value across every village we serve.

Impact You Can Count On

Some orders fund a month of school lunches. Others buy a uniform, fix a roof, or cover medical transport. The support is practical, visible, and fast. Our team acts on direct feedback from the community. There is no complex structure—just people helping people. The Nanthita bag is part of that effort. Every order moves quickly from sale to action. Customers may never meet the families they help, but their impact is felt almost immediately. That’s what makes this model powerful. It is rooted in real lives, and it delivers help without delay. Each bag sold carries someone forward.

Cultural Values Behind the Return

In the weaving villages, generosity is part of life. Whether from Buddhist beliefs around merit or Christian values of giving, the idea of helping others runs deep. Our foundation respects these traditions. We return support in ways that match local customs—privately, with humility, and without pressure. That keeps the process aligned with the values of the people who make our bags. The Nanthita tote is produced in homes where belief, tradition, and family all guide daily choices. The support system reflects that same rhythm. It is more than a transaction. It is a cycle of care that fits their way of life.
