PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Colourful Character: Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag

The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag proves that small bags can make a big impact. With its rich colour mix, curved shell shape, and standout texture, it feels like a celebration of joy and individuality. Designed for everyday moments that deserve a splash of fun, it balances bright colour with artisanal structure. Whether you carry it in the city or by the beach, this mini straw bag adds instant personality to your look.

What “Pim” Means and Why It Fits This Design

The name “Pim” is a common Thai nickname meaning “delicate beauty.” It’s a perfect fit for this compact yet sculptural handbag. The shape is soft, rounded, and inspired by the natural curve of seashells. The colour palette feels playful and expressive, but the structure is refined and well-formed. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag is full of personality without being overdone, and its name reflects this gentle balance of form and flair.

Shell-Inspired Shape with a Sculptural Feel

The body of this mini bag curves outward in a fan-like shell silhouette, creating a 3D effect that draws the eye. The rounded base and flared sides give the piece its character while also creating unexpected space inside. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag doesn’t collapse or flatten like other small bags. It holds its form beautifully, resting upright when placed on any surface and looking just as striking in use as it does on display.

Multicoloured Straw Weave with Summer Energy

Bright orange, fuchsia pink, and soft yellow fibres are woven together in alternating rows to form the colourful body. These tones are cheerful, youthful, and ideal for warm weather styling. The pattern is unique to every piece, thanks to the handwoven process. The Pim Straw Shell Handbag offers both visual warmth and authentic colour blending that can’t be replicated by machine. It looks alive in natural light and pairs easily with solid-colour outfits.

Handwoven by Women Artisans in Northern Thailand

This bag is made using water hyacinth straw harvested in Phayao, Thailand. Artisans dry the fibres naturally before twisting and weaving them into shape. Each piece takes over 20 hours to craft. No synthetic backing or internal structure is used—only the skill of the weaver keeps it firm. When you carry the Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag, you carry a piece of traditional Thai craftsmanship shaped with care and creativity.

Small Interior with Just-Enough Room

Inside the bag is space for cards, keys, cash, and a lip gloss or small hand cream. It’s not made for heavy carry, but that’s part of its charm. The compact size encourages light styling and intentional packing. The wide shell shape makes it easier to reach for items than a round or cylindrical mini. If you’re heading to lunch, exploring a market, or dancing at a summer event, the Pim Straw Shell Bag carries just what you need.

Faux Leather Handle That Complements the Straw

The brown leather-look handle adds contrast and polish to the design. Its smooth finish and firm structure make it easy to grip while echoing the curve of the shell below. This handle is securely stitched at each end and reinforced for strength. It helps balance the bright straw weave with something refined. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag wouldn’t feel complete without it—it brings the whole design together with texture and purpose.

Eye-Catching Styling for Spring and Summer Outfits

This bag works beautifully with neutral dresses, breezy linens, or even denim and white tees. It brings a burst of colour to soft wardrobes and blends well with boho, vintage, and coastal styles. The shell form and tropical tones make it especially suited for beach holidays or picnic settings. Whether carried by hand or set beside you on a café bench, the Pim Straw Shell Bag delivers colour, shape, and charm every time.

Part of Our Small & Mini Straw Bag Collection

This piece fits naturally into our Small & Mini Straw Bags collection, created for light carry with strong visual presence. These bags are sculptural, lightweight, and built to complement your favourite warm-weather looks. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag stands out for its colour palette and shell structure, offering a more playful and tropical twist on the classic straw mini.

Lightweight and Durable for Everyday Adventures

Despite its small size and woven body, the bag is surprisingly strong. The straw is coiled tightly to maintain structure, and the base remains stable even when placed down full. The handle holds firm and doesn’t twist or slip. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag is made to be used and enjoyed regularly—not just kept for special occasions. It’s durable enough for repeated use while still feeling light in the hand.

Perfect Gift for Fashion-Forward Friends

Looking for something fun, handmade, and thoughtful? This mini bag makes a wonderful gift. It suits a wide range of ages and styles, especially those who love bold colour and unique silhouettes. The Pim Straw Shell Bag is a great birthday present, vacation companion, or creative thank-you gift. Because it’s handmade, each one feels like a rare and personal find.

A Popular Pick Among Colour-Loving Customers

This bag consistently draws attention and compliments. Customers often mention how the shape and colour make them feel more expressive and confident in their styling. It’s perfect for those who are drawn to playful design but still want quality and practicality. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag is more than a novelty—it’s a functional, joyful accessory that becomes a daily favourite.

Environmentally Friendly and Crafted with Purpose

Water hyacinth is a fast-growing plant that poses problems for Thai waterways if left unmanaged. By harvesting and turning it into durable woven goods, artisans help restore river balance while creating income for rural families. The Pim Straw Shell Bag is fully biodegradable, uses no synthetic linings, and supports community weaving projects. It’s fashion with purpose, made the traditional way.

Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting Beauty

To care for your bag, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If needed, dust gently with a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture, and do not overload. With these simple steps, your Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag will remain vibrant and strong for seasons to come. The handle may be wiped with a damp cloth and air-dried naturally.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

EMS Global Shipping for the Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag

We ship all Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbags worldwide using EMS Thailand World Airfreight. This trusted service offers tracking, fast transit, and delivery to EMS-recognised safe countries. Customers often enjoy low or zero import charges, and we don’t hide costs in our bag prices. EMS charges a flat rate up to 1kg, meaning that ordering more than one bag often costs the same to ship as a single item. That’s why we don’t inflate prices with built-in shipping fees. You only pay what EMS charges us. No markups, no extras, just fair and transparent pricing from checkout to delivery.

How Your Bag Moves from Artisan to You

Each Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag is handcrafted by artisans in Thailand. Our weavers are based in various provinces including Chiang Mai, Phayao, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Phatthalung. After it’s woven, the finished bag is sent to our central hub in Nakhon Sawan. From there, our team manages packing and dispatch. This structure allows regional weavers to focus on their craft while we ensure each bag meets consistent quality and shipping standards before it reaches you.

Our Quality Checks Before We Ship

Every Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag is closely inspected by our master team. We document its perfect condition with photos and video before it leaves our hub. This inspection process guarantees that your bag is flawless when packed. Each item is also placed inside a white cotton drawstring bag to protect it during shipping and offer convenient, protective storage at home. Our packaging is designed to keep the product safe while remaining eco-friendly, recyclable, and attractive for a clean presentation.

EMS Delivery Timeframes by Region

Shipping time begins once the item is dispatched. These are typical EMS estimates:

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 do not include production time for personalised or made-to-order pieces, which are detailed separately.

Production Time for Custom Orders

If you request colour changes, embroidery, or bespoke design for your Pim bag, our weaving team will need 14 to 21 business days to complete your order. These handcrafted details require time and care. Once finished, your bag will be transferred to our Nakhon Sawan hub and processed for dispatch. The EMS delivery clock starts only once the bag has been posted. Ready-made bags ship within 3 business days of completion.

Tracking Your Order from Thailand to Your Door

After dispatch, we’ll email you your EMS tracking number. You can use this number to follow your parcel through the EMS portal and your local postal system. Tracking starts immediately after dispatch and provides updates through each stage of transit. If you haven’t received your tracking code within 24 hours of shipment, check your spam folder or contact us for help.

Final Delivery by Your Local Postal Service

EMS Thailand handles your bag until it enters your country. At that point, your national postal service will complete the final delivery. While we will always support tracking issues and help resolve problems, we are not responsible for delays or misdeliveries caused by local couriers. That part of the journey is outside our control, though we are always here to assist if needed.

Minimal Customs Delays on Most Orders

Most Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbags arrive without any customs delays or duties. Handmade straw and water hyacinth bags are generally low risk for inspections. In the rare case your country imposes VAT or customs fees, these are not included in your checkout total and must be paid by the customer. That said, the majority of our global customers report smooth, duty-free delivery.

Eco-Conscious and Protective Packaging

We use recyclable, eco-friendly materials for shipping. Every Pim bag is packed in a reusable cotton pouch, then placed in protective outer packaging that prevents dents or damage. We avoid plastic wraps, bubble wrap, or non-biodegradable fillers. The result is a safe, environmentally conscious, and visually pleasing delivery presentation that aligns with our brand’s values.

Delays Can Occasionally Occur

We do everything we can to ensure fast and predictable delivery. However, delays can happen due to customs processing, weather disruptions, or postal backlogs during holiday seasons. If this occurs, we will monitor your order and offer full support until it arrives. You’ll never be left wondering where your parcel is or how to get help.

Make Sure Your Shipping Address Is Correct

Before checking out, please confirm that your shipping address is 100% accurate. Incorrect or incomplete addresses may result in your parcel being returned. In those cases, we can resend your order, but the customer must cover the new shipping fee. We cannot refund the original EMS charge unless the error was ours.

Returned Parcels and Reshipping Policy

If your Pim bag is returned to our dispatch hub, we’ll notify you immediately. You can opt for a reshipment or a refund of the product price. Returned bags must be unused and in original condition. Customers must pay the EMS cost for reshipment. If you choose a refund, we will process it once the return is received, minus the original shipping cost unless the return was due to a confirmed problem with the bag.

We Don’t Include Shipping in Bag Prices

Unlike some brands, we don’t inflate product prices to cover shipping costs. EMS charges a set rate for parcels under 1kg. Whether you order one Pim bag or three, the shipping cost often stays the same. This is why we separate product and shipping fees at checkout. You only pay the real shipping cost charged to us by EMS Thailand. Nothing more.

No Markups, No Handling Fees, No Surprises

The shipping fee you see during checkout is the exact EMS cost for your region. We do not charge for packing, handling, admin, or any other extra. Everything from the drawstring storage bag to the pre-shipping quality check is included in the product price. We believe in clarity and fairness in every part of the order.

Returns Accepted Within 14 Days of Delivery

If your bag arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours and send photos or video evidence. Once we verify the issue, we’ll offer a replacement or a full refund. For other returns, we accept items in original condition within 14 days. You must return the bag to our Thai hub using a tracked courier service. Once received and approved, we’ll refund the bag cost. Shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is linked to a fault.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

The Pim Mini Bag Helps Real Thai Communities

The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag brings more than charm and style. It actively supports the local Thai communities that create it. For every Pim bag sold, 15% of the sale goes straight back to help the same families and villages who weave the bag by hand. This support is not symbolic or optional. It’s built directly into the business model. That means each purchase helps provide basic needs like food, school supplies, clothing, or emergency help. When you buy the Pim Mini, you don’t just carry something beautiful. You carry a clear and immediate act of support.

We Only Support Our Artisan Families

The foundation behind the Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag exists solely to help the people who make the bags and their nearby communities. It doesn’t fund unrelated projects or general public aid. The 15% return goes to the people who live in the five regions where our bags are made. Whether it’s a mother who weaves, a neighbour who preps straw, or a grandparent helping with childcare, our goal is to reward everyone directly involved. With every Pim bag sold, this support reaches the homes that need it most in a focused and responsible way.

Made in Five Provinces Across Thailand

This bag is handmade in five weaving regions: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each area offers its own techniques, traditions, and materials. The 15% support is fairly shared across these regions. Some communities prepare the natural fibres. Others assemble and shape the bags. This multi-region model means that every Pim Mini supports several families, not just one. It also helps preserve different local weaving traditions. Your order gives strength to rural economies and keeps Thai craftsmanship alive in five corners of the country.

Emergency Funds for Urgent Village Needs

Life in rural Thailand can be unpredictable. A sudden storm, medical visit, or broken motorbike can create serious setbacks. That’s why the foundation reserves part of the 15% return for quick emergency help. Our team works directly with community members to identify needs and deliver funds or supplies fast. Whether it’s a child’s medicine or a family’s food budget, we make sure help arrives on time. When you choose the Pim Mini, you help make sure families can stay strong during difficult moments, with fewer delays and more confidence.

Supporting Education for Artisan Families

Education is one of the biggest benefits funded by the Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag. The 15% return is often used to pay for school supplies, books, uniforms, and bus money. These costs, while small, often prevent village children from attending school full-time. By covering these needs, we help children stay in school and parents focus on work. Your bag becomes a link in a bigger story. One where handmade craft helps fund long-term success through access to education and better opportunities for the next generation.

Training New Weavers for the Future

The future of Thai weaving depends on the next generation. Many young women in rural areas face limited options after school. The foundation uses funds from the Pim Mini to train new weavers, especially recent school leavers who want to learn a trade close to home. We cover tools, early wages, and coaching. This allows them to earn with dignity and skill. By helping these young women get started, we keep the tradition alive and help grow sustainable careers. The Pim Mini is part of this generational support cycle.

Rewarding Those Behind the Scenes

Weaving may be a solo activity, but many people play unseen roles. A sibling might carry materials. A friend might help with finishing touches. A grandparent might babysit so the artisan can work. These contributions matter. That’s why the 15% return also helps support the wider household. Small grants may cover groceries, clothing, or daily costs for these helping hands. Every Pim Mini is a product of teamwork, and our support reflects that. By acknowledging everyone who contributes, we build pride and strengthen local bonds in each village.

Customers Don’t Need to Add Anything Extra

The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag already includes support. There’s no need for additional donation or action. The 15% is already part of the bag’s price. This makes giving automatic and consistent. Buyers get a stunning, ethically made piece. Families receive direct support quickly. There’s no paperwork or delay—just a simple and meaningful result from each transaction. This structure means every order is part of a dependable, ongoing support model that works behind the scenes and keeps improving lives with every sale.

Fast Impact After Every Order

After each Pim Mini is sold, the 15% contribution is put to work immediately. Our teams assess which families or needs are most urgent and respond accordingly. Within days, that purchase has turned into groceries, study materials, or apprentice training. This direct response avoids long wait times and ensures nothing is wasted. Your order helps real people quickly. You won’t see the handover, but the impact has already happened by the time your bag arrives. That’s what makes this model powerful—results begin the moment you buy.

Giving That Respects Local Beliefs

Our foundation respects the beliefs of each artisan family. Some are Buddhist and view the 15% return as a way to earn merit. Others are Christian and see it as an expression of faith and service. We never dictate how support is used spiritually. We simply make sure the help is real, local, and timely. The Pim Mini Straw Shell Handbag is shaped by these traditions. It’s a product of both material skill and moral values that honour giving, gratitude, and shared success.
