PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Bright and Beautiful Straw Purse

The Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag is full of character and detail. Its unique crescent shape offers a soft, sculpted silhouette, while bold floral embroidery adds a joyful finish. Woven from natural water hyacinth straw, this piece feels fresh, vibrant, and one-of-a-kind. The curved form sits comfortably in hand, creating a well-balanced accessory that feels both relaxed and refined.

What “Pailin” Represents in Thai Culture

“Pailin” is the Thai word for sapphire, a gem that symbolises purity and joy. The name suits this design beautifully. With its bright flowers and soft structure, the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag brings life to any outfit. Much like its namesake, it’s a piece that carries depth and clarity while staying playful and warm.

Handwoven in Thailand Using Natural Straw

Women artisans in Thailand weave this purse by hand using locally sourced water hyacinth. They coil and shape each strand, creating the curved base without molds or machines. Because of the precision in every stitch, the bag feels both durable and organic. The Pailin Purse Bag reflects centuries of technique in a style made for now.

Multicolour Floral Embroidery With Texture

Each flower is stitched onto the straw body using soft, colourful threads. The blooms vary in size and shade, including pinks, purples, yellows, and white. A small embroidered bee adds a fun surprise. These embellishments give the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag rich texture and a handcrafted, storybook charm.

Half Moon Shape for Feminine Silhouette

The crescent silhouette hugs your side gently while keeping the contents upright. It curves naturally from base to rim, creating a look that feels both modern and timeless. As a result, the Pailin Half Moon Purse works beautifully with dresses, soft fabrics, and seasonal layers.

Wrapped Handles With Printed Scarf Detail

Both handles are wrapped in printed fabric, then tied with a playful bow. This design feature adds colour and softness, balancing the earthy straw. The scarf detail varies slightly, giving each bag a unique finish. You can preview scarf options by request. It’s one more reason the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag feels personal and special.

Lightweight Yet Roomy for Essentials

Although the body appears compact, the interior fits everyday must-haves. You can carry a phone, small wallet, lipstick, and keys with ease. The open top allows for quick access, while the half-moon design prevents tipping. The Pailin Straw Bag offers lightweight comfort without losing practicality.

Perfect for Gifting or Seasonal Outfits

This purse makes a beautiful gift for birthdays, bridal parties, or just-because moments. Its embroidery and bow detail give it a joyful spirit. Because the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag blends function with charm, it suits all ages and personal styles.

Made With Sustainable Materials and Mindset

The water hyacinth straw used in this design grows quickly and naturally in Thai waterways. It’s biodegradable, strong, and flexible. Our artisans work from home-based studios using traditional methods. By choosing the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag, you’re supporting both eco-conscious sourcing and artisan craftsmanship.

Keeps Its Shape Over Time

The curved structure stays upright thanks to the tight straw coils and flat base. Even with frequent use, the shape doesn’t collapse. It remains easy to carry, quick to access, and always stylish. That’s why the Pailin Straw Purse is a customer favourite season after season.

Simple Care for a Lasting Finish

To keep your purse looking fresh, store it in a cool, dry place. Use a clean cloth to wipe dust from the straw. The scarf can be removed or replaced if needed. Because of the natural materials, the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag ages gracefully with care.

Easy to Style and Fun to Carry

From the bright flowers to the curved shape, this purse invites compliments. It looks joyful without feeling fussy. That’s what makes the Pailin Straw Bag a reliable choice—you can dress it up or down, take it to lunch or to the park, and it always fits in.

Important Note About the Scarf Bow

This bag includes a scarf-style fabric bow tied at the handle. Our team sources these in small artisan batches. While colours remain similar, the pattern may vary slightly from the image shown.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Worldwide Delivery with EMS Thailand Airfreight

Every Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag is shipped using EMS Thailand World Airfreight. This trusted courier offers global coverage and secure tracking from dispatch to delivery. Once your order is posted, we’ll provide a tracking number via email so you can monitor the journey in real time. We ship only to countries EMS confirms as safe international destinations. Delivery times vary depending on your location, but our service is fast, consistent, and backed by EMS’s long-standing reputation for international airfreight reliability.

Handcrafted Across Thailand, Sent from Our Central Hub

Our bags are handwoven by skilled artisans in rural communities across Thailand, including Phayao, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Phatthalung. Once your Pailin bag is complete, it’s sent to our central hub in Nakhon Sawan. This location is where all international orders are packed and checked. Having a central dispatch system allows us to manage consistent quality control, efficient packaging, and timely EMS delivery. It also ensures each artisan has a clear workflow from weaving to shipment, regardless of which province the bag originated from.

Final Inspections and Protective Packaging

Before dispatch, every bag is thoroughly checked by our team. We photograph and film the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag to document its flawless handmade condition. Our inspection process ensures the bag meets our quality standards before it leaves Thailand. Each order is carefully packed in a white cotton drawstring pouch, which helps protect the bag during shipping and also serves as a convenient long-term storage option. This layer is then sealed in a recyclable shipping box to prevent any damage during transit.

EMS Estimated Transit Times by Region

The following delivery estimates apply to physical shipping only and do not include production time for custom or bespoke orders:

Thailand: 1–3 business days
Asia-Pacific: 3–5 business days
Europe and UK: 4–9 business days
North America: 5–7 business days
Oceania: 4–6 business days
South America: 9–11 business days

External factors like customs, weather, or holidays may affect delivery slightly, but EMS provides regular tracking updates so you’re always informed.

Custom Orders and Production Timeframes

If you request a custom version of the Pailin purse, including different embroidery, added initials, or unique fabric detailing, we ask for 14 to 21 business days to complete the order. Our artisans will begin working on your bespoke bag right after your order is confirmed. Once complete, the finished item is sent to our Nakhon Sawan hub for final checks and immediate dispatch. Shipping time begins only after the bag is posted, not during the production phase.

Live Tracking and Order Support

Your tracking number will be emailed as soon as your bag is handed to EMS. You can use the EMS portal to check its movement at each step. If you don’t see your tracking number within 24 hours of dispatch, feel free to reach out to our team. We’re always ready to help you via live chat or the contact form on our website. We monitor all shipments and can assist you in the event of any delays or tracking inconsistencies.

Responsibility of Local Postal Services

EMS Thailand delivers your bag internationally, but once the package arrives in your country, it is transferred to your local postal carrier. This may be USPS, Canada Post, Royal Mail, or a regional delivery company. While we help customers with tracking and offer support, we cannot take responsibility for any delivery issues caused by third-party couriers once the parcel is outside of Thailand. We always remain available to assist you through the process.

Import Duties and Customs Charges

In many cases, our customers receive their packages without needing to pay any duties. However, depending on your location, you may be charged VAT, customs fees, or import taxes. These are set by your national government and are not included in our product or shipping prices. You are responsible for covering these costs if they are applied. We always fill out customs forms accurately to prevent unnecessary issues or delays at the border.

Eco-Conscious and Secure Packing

The Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag is wrapped in a reusable white cotton pouch and shipped in a reinforced eco-safe cardboard box. We avoid plastic and over-wrapping, keeping our environmental footprint low while ensuring your product arrives in perfect condition. The drawstring pouch is designed for continued use and can help keep your bag clean and protected when you’re not carrying it.

Delivery Delays and Uncontrollable Issues

Occasional delays due to customs clearance, weather disruptions, or peak shipping seasons may affect delivery speed. While these issues are rare, they are out of our control. What we can do is provide you with tracking updates, follow up with EMS on your behalf, and communicate clearly if any issues arise. We treat every order as a priority and support our customers until delivery is complete.

Checking Your Shipping Address

Please double-check your address details when placing an order. If a parcel is returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address, we will offer to resend it after confirming the right details. In these cases, the reshipping fee is the customer’s responsibility. Refunds will not include the original shipping cost unless the return was due to our error. Accurate delivery information helps ensure a smooth and fast shipping process.

Returned Parcels and Reshipping Process

If EMS or your local postal service cannot deliver your package and it is returned to our Nakhon Sawan hub, we will contact you to confirm the next steps. We can arrange for reshipping once the address has been corrected or reconfirmed. As per our policy, you will be required to cover the cost of resending the parcel. We will always notify you promptly and guide you through the next steps if your bag comes back to us.

Transparent Shipping Pricing for Real Costs

Unlike many other brands, we do not build shipping charges into our product prices. EMS charges a flat rate for parcels under 1kg, meaning that one bag or several bags often cost the same to ship. By keeping product and shipping prices separate, we make sure customers only pay for the shipping they actually use. This makes multi-bag orders more affordable and allows for clear, honest pricing.

You Only Pay What EMS Charges

At checkout, you will see the direct shipping fee that we pay EMS Thailand to ship your bag to your country. There are no hidden markups, admin costs, or handling charges added. What you see is what we pay. Our goal is to give customers full clarity about where their money goes and to avoid pricing tricks that inflate product costs with invisible shipping fees.

Returns, Refunds, and Damaged Items

We take quality seriously. Before sending your Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag, we record it via photos and video. If your bag arrives damaged, notify us within 48 hours and provide visual proof. We offer a 14-day return period for any damaged or faulty item. If the return is approved, we will replace the item or issue a refund. For non-fault returns, you may return the product within 14 days, but you must send it back to Thailand using tracked airfreight. Return shipping is at your expense, and we do not refund the original postage fee.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

Pailin Sales Support the People Who Made It

Every Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag directly contributes to the well-being of the women and families who weave it. With each sale, 15% of the purchase price goes straight back into the same Thai villages where this bag is made. This give-back model is not a gesture. It’s a fixed part of how the business operates. The result is ongoing support for everyday essentials like food, school costs, or emergency needs. Customers receive a beautifully made piece while helping the people behind it live with greater comfort, dignity, and opportunity.

Support Focused Only on Artisan Communities

The 15% support doesn’t go into a general fund or national campaign. It’s returned directly to the local artisan communities involved in producing each Pailin bag. This includes weavers, their families, and other members of their immediate village networks. The help may be used for school supplies, household repairs, or medicine. We only give to those who are directly connected to our production process. That focus ensures maximum impact and prevents resources from being spread too thin. Each Pailin purse represents a system where the people who do the work receive the reward.

Crafted by Regional Weavers Across Thailand

This purse is handmade using traditional techniques passed down in five distinct regions of Thailand: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each step—from straw preparation to floral detail work—happens in one of these provinces. The 15% from each sale is distributed fairly among them, based on the role they play in producing the bag. This structure keeps value in the hands of local communities. When you carry a Pailin purse, you’re supporting a regional network of heritage, skill, and shared craftsmanship.

Quick Help During Tough Times

Emergencies come fast in rural villages. Whether it’s a health scare, storm damage, or loss of income, these events can be hard to manage without fast help. That’s why a portion of the 15% support is set aside for immediate use. When a family needs support, our contacts within each village let us know. We move funds quickly to where they’re needed most. Every Pailin sale strengthens this safety net. It allows artisans and their families to bounce back faster, without falling into deeper hardship.

Helping Children Stay in School With Confidence

Even when school fees are low or waived, the cost of lunches, books, and travel often creates financial pressure. Our give-back system helps ease that burden. A portion of the 15% from each Pailin purse sale is used to help cover school-related expenses for artisan children. The support is tailored to their real needs, from uniforms to exam materials. This helps keep children in school and makes sure education remains accessible, even when a family’s income fluctuates. The Pailin bag carries more than style. It supports a child’s future.

Training New Weavers and Expanding Local Skills

To keep traditional weaving strong, we invest in training new artisans from within our partner villages. This includes school leavers who want a local skill, women returning to work, or young people inspired by their elders. The 15% contribution funds starter kits, training materials, and learning time with skilled mentors. The Pailin bag plays a part in this educational process, helping to sustain a craft that’s not just decorative but culturally rooted and economically viable. These new artisans help carry the tradition forward with pride and purpose.

Recognising the Hidden Work Behind the Scenes

The final weaver isn’t the only person involved in creating a Pailin purse. Behind every bag is a quiet support team—family members, neighbours, and community helpers who enable production to happen smoothly. That could mean looking after children, helping carry materials, or assisting with details. Our foundation recognises all of these people. The 15% support is flexible enough to assist not just the main artisan but the wider circle. This keeps the spirit of community intact and gives credit to the full team that brings the Pailin bag to life.

Built-In Generosity Without Any Extra Steps

You don’t need to make a separate donation or choose an extra checkout option to create impact. The 15% is automatically built into every sale of the Pailin Floral Half Moon Straw Purse Bag. That means every customer plays a role in supporting Thai artisan families without having to do anything beyond their purchase. This structure makes the process simple and powerful. Customers get a high-quality handmade item, and the people who made it receive financial support without delays or conditions.

Immediate, Localised Use of Funds

We don’t wait for quarterly reviews or end-of-year reports to release funds. Once a Pailin purse is sold, the 15% support becomes available for use right away. Our village leads notify us of current needs, and we act quickly. This fast, localised response ensures funds are never sitting idle when families need them most. Whether it’s paying for transport, repairing a roof, or helping a neighbour in distress, the money moves quickly and does real work. The Pailin bag helps keep that system active and reliable.

Respecting Cultural Beliefs and Traditions

In the villages where our bags are made, some families follow Buddhist traditions while others are Christian. We honour both. For Buddhists, the 15% support is seen as a form of merit—doing good through work. For Christians, it’s an act of stewardship and generosity. We don’t push one meaning over another. Instead, we support each artisan’s values through direct, fair income and community help. The Pailin bag quietly supports not only livelihoods but the deeper beliefs that shape daily life in each village.
