Ninlapa Straw Crossbody Bag With Pearl Handle
Handcrafted With Love by Thai Artisans
The Ninlapa Straw Crossbody Bag With Pearl Handle is lovingly handwoven by Thai women who have passed their weaving skills down through generations. Working from breezy village homes and open-air studios, they craft each piece slowly and intentionally. In fact, the intricate circular weave and careful symmetry of this bag take over 24 hours to complete. No two are ever exactly alike—each carries the gentle imprint of the artisan’s hands. While it’s delicate in appearance, this crossbody bag is incredibly resilient, reflecting not only tradition but quiet strength.
Natural Materials With Sustainable Purpose
This eco-friendly bag is made entirely from water hyacinth straw—a biodegradable fibre harvested from Thai waterways. By using water hyacinth, we help restore balance to local ecosystems by removing invasive plants. Additionally, this bag’s structure includes cotton lining, hand-twisted straw straps, and eco-safe polish for the pearl handle. We also use similar sustainable materials in our Eco-Friendly & Natural Straw Bags & Purses collection, including seagrass, banana fibre, and palm leaf.
Delicate Yet Durable for Everyday Adventures
Although the Ninlapa straw bag looks dainty, it’s built for real life. The tightly woven panels make it breathable yet firm, withstanding everyday handling while maintaining its shape. The pearl-style handle is smooth and lightweight, providing comfort whether you carry it by hand or crossbody. Inside, there’s enough room for your phone, lipstick, keys, and small wallet. Whether you’re dressing up or staying casual, this bag blends beauty and function effortlessly.
Perfect for Events, Getaways and Everyday Use
This sustainable handbag is ideal for city strolls, beach brunches, romantic dates, or even countryside weekends. With its romantic detailing and clean, natural tones, it complements outfits ranging from linen jumpsuits to floral dresses. Many customers take it along for destination weddings, honeymoons, or as a sweet Valentine’s Day gift.

The Meaning Behind ‘Ninlapa’
The name Ninlapa (นินลภา) means “soft beauty” in Thai—a perfect reflection of this bag’s gentle silhouette and delicate handle. We choose names not just for sound but for the emotions they evoke. Just like this bag, Ninlapa speaks of grace, femininity, and elegance in every stitch.
Care Instructions for Long Life
Store your handmade straw bag in a dry, cool place and avoid prolonged contact with moisture. Do not store it in plastic—use a cotton pouch or hang it gently. If it gets dusty, use a dry cloth to wipe it clean. Let it air out naturally in case of humidity. With these simple tips, your bag will stay beautiful for years.
A Global Favourite With Local Soul
Our bags have been spotted from Tokyo cafés to New York rooftop gardens. The Ninlapa is especially loved by minimalist stylists, boho brides, and romantic travellers. Its versatile design makes it part of global fashion conversations while keeping its Thai soul. You’ll find more pieces like it in our Straw Fashion Designer Bags & Purses collection.
Real Straw, Real Texture
This bag’s texture features unique natural patterns thanks to the water hyacinth’s organic variation. The straw spirals gently outward, giving the surface a soft, sun-kissed gleam. These natural textures are part of what makes each piece irreplaceable. Unlike synthetic bags, these are filled with story and spirit.
Thoughtful Gift for Loved Ones
This petite crossbody is a charming present for birthdays, anniversaries, or bridesmaid proposals. Many customers also choose it for Valentine’s Day or as a heartfelt travel gift. Because it can be personalised with embroidery or accessories, it becomes even more meaningful. Explore more gifting ideas in our Gift-Ready Straw Bags.
