PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Naturally Detailed: Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse

The Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse combines breathable craftsmanship with soft, feminine detail. Handwoven using traditional Thai techniques, it features an open-weave body, two stitched floral accents, and a floral-patterned blue bow for a final touch of colour. Because the bag is lightweight and airy, it’s perfect for warm-weather outings. Whether you’re dressing casually or heading to a brunch, this purse adds quiet charm to your look.

The Meaning Behind the Name “Pimwadee”

In Thai, “Pimwadee” means gentle beauty or graceful character. This name perfectly matches the soft tone and delicate finish of the bag. From the curved handles to the embroidered details, the Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse speaks with subtle confidence. It doesn’t need to be loud to make an impression. Instead, it uses balance and detail to express personality and presence.

Handwoven From Natural Straw With Open-Loop Technique

Each purse is handwoven using water hyacinth straw, a biodegradable fibre grown and harvested in northern Thailand. Artisans use an open-loop weave to create texture and lightness while maintaining structure. As a result, the body feels breathable but never fragile. The Pimwadee Straw Flower Purse showcases how traditional methods can create timeless accessories with modern versatility.

Floral Embroidery Adds a Feminine Accent

Two white floral motifs are hand-embroidered onto the corner of the bag, offering a soft contrast against the straw’s natural tones. These stitched blooms are subtle yet eye-catching. Together with the weave, they bring both movement and texture. The Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse benefits from these floral touches, which give it a springtime spirit without overpowering the design.

Rounded Straw Handles Designed for Comfort

In addition to its soft form, the purse features curved handles woven from the same straw. They are padded for grip and stitched securely to the top edge. This means you can carry the bag for hours without discomfort. Because the handles match the weave, they maintain a cohesive and natural look. The Pimwadee Purse feels thoughtfully complete from every angle.

Blue Ribbon Bow for Colour and Movement

A printed blue fabric bow is tied around one of the handles, adding energy and visual interest. The pattern varies slightly but always complements the rest of the bag. This element not only provides contrast but also moves with you. As a result, the Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse never feels static. It carries a touch of personality wherever it goes.

Lightweight Shape Ideal for Everyday Use

Despite its decorative appeal, this bag is easy to wear. The open weave keeps the body light, while the structured base allows it to stand upright. Whether you’re walking, shopping, or catching up with friends, the Pimwadee Straw Purse won’t weigh you down. In fact, it’s one of the lightest styles in our collection.

Roomy Enough for Essentials Without Bulk

While compact in size, the purse holds daily essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, and sunglasses. Some customers choose to pair it with a small inner pouch, while others love the semi-transparent design as is. The open-loop weave provides visibility, but the upright shape offers function. Therefore, the Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Purse adapts easily to how you use it.

Belongs in Our Embroidered & Floral Bag Collection

This purse fits naturally in our Embroidered & Floral Straw Bags collection. While not as intricate as some, the hand-stitched accents and fabric bow place it firmly among our customer favourites. The Pimwadee Purse offers a calm, decorative touch for those who prefer detail over bold prints. It’s a go-to for women who want something understated yet expressive.

Pairs Beautifully With Spring and Summer Looks

Because of its soft colours and breathable style, the purse matches linen, cotton, and warm-weather prints with ease. You can wear it with dresses or jeans and a blouse. No matter the outfit, the Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse adds texture and personality. It looks particularly lovely in natural settings or light-filled environments.

A Great Gift That Feels Thoughtful and Unique

This purse is often chosen as a gift due to its meaningful name, easy wearability, and handcrafted quality. It suits birthdays, holidays, and thank-you moments. The Pimwadee Purse works across generations and preferences, offering a sense of culture and personal charm in every detail.

Handcrafted Sustainably With Village-Based Production

Every Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse is made by women weavers working from home studios in rural Thailand. Materials are local and biodegradable. No synthetic fillers are used. This supports local income, cultural preservation, and a slower, more ethical fashion model. Choosing this purse means supporting a bigger story behind the product.

Lightweight but Durable Enough for Frequent Wear

The weave is tight enough to hold its shape even after repeated use. While the straw is soft to the touch, it doesn’t collapse. The handles stay firm, and the base holds weight without sagging. Because of this, the Pimwadee Straw Purse offers reliability in a light, feminine form.

Easy to Maintain, Season After Season

Store your purse in a dry, shaded space. If needed, dust with a soft cloth. The scarf can be gently removed and steamed or replaced with another ribbon of your choice. With basic care, the Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse will remain clean, structured, and visually appealing for many seasons ahead.

Please Note: Ribbon May Vary Slightly by Batch

The printed scarf ribbon is handmade in limited runs. While the tones stay consistent, patterns may vary slightly from what’s shown in the photo. Rest assured, every scarf is chosen to match the purse’s tone and feel. If you’d like to preview the exact fabric before purchase, we’re happy to provide a photo. This ensures your Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse matches your expectations while preserving its handmade charm.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Global Delivery with EMS Thailand Airfreight

All Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purses are shipped using EMS Thailand World Airfreight. This international courier service offers fast, reliable, and fully trackable shipping to most global destinations. Customers receive a tracking number as soon as the item is dispatched from our central hub. EMS charges a flat rate up to one kilogram, so ordering more than one bag is often no more expensive than ordering a single item. That’s why we don’t inflate product prices to cover shipping. You pay only what we pay. No added fees or inflated margins are included in our shipping charges.

Our Thai Weaving Network and Dispatch Centre

Each Pimwadee bag is crafted by experienced artisans located across Thailand, from the north in Chiang Mai and Phayao to the southern provinces like Phatthalung and Nakhon Si Thammarat. These bags are then posted to our central hub in Nakhon Sawan where they are thoroughly inspected, packed, and dispatched for global delivery. This centralised system allows us to maintain strong quality control while supporting regional employment across many villages. It also ensures that each product is handled efficiently from weaving to shipping, with reliable timing and consistent presentation.

Bag Checks, Protective Packaging, and Documentation

Before any Pimwadee purse leaves our facility, it goes through a multi-step inspection process. Our artisan team checks for consistent stitching, secure handles, and the quality of any decorative elements like the floral embroidery or ribbon. We take photos and videos of every bag before packaging it. Each item is then placed inside a reusable white cotton drawstring pouch. This pouch helps protect your bag in transit and provides long-term storage at home. Our packaging process is designed to ensure that your purse arrives in perfect condition and ready to use.

Asia-Pacific: 3 to 5 business days
Europe and UK: 4 to 9 business days

Public holidays and customs processing may slightly affect these estimates, but most deliveries fall within the expected timeframes.

Lead Times for Custom Designs and Personalisation

If your Pimwadee purse has been personalised or specially made to order, please allow 14 to 21 business days for our artisan team to create the final product. Production begins after your order confirmation and includes everything from weaving to detailed stitching. Once complete, the purse will be sent to our Nakhon Sawan hub for final checks, packaging, and dispatch. EMS delivery time begins only once the item is physically posted. We appreciate your patience with custom items, which are handmade with care and attention to detail.

Tracking and Delivery Notifications

After your Pimwadee purse is dispatched, you’ll receive a unique EMS tracking number by email. This allows you to monitor its journey from our warehouse to your front door. If you don’t see your tracking email within 24 hours of dispatch, please check your spam or junk folder. You can also contact our support team directly if you need help locating your parcel. We keep customers updated and aim to make the delivery process transparent and worry-free from start to finish.

What Happens After Arrival in Your Country

EMS handles the international shipping, but your national or local postal service will complete the final delivery. This varies by country but generally includes postal carriers like USPS, Royal Mail, or Australia Post. Once EMS transfers the parcel to your country, responsibility shifts to the local service. We are not liable for errors made by domestic carriers, but we will assist with any issues and offer support to help resolve delayed or misrouted parcels where possible.

Customs Fees Are Rare but Can Occur

Although most of our customers do not experience customs charges, it is possible that some countries may apply taxes, VAT, or import fees. These costs are not included in your purchase or shipping total and must be covered by the customer. That said, many of our deliveries pass through customs without any additional costs. If you have questions about your country’s regulations, we recommend checking with your local postal service or customs office before placing an order.

Eco-Friendly, Practical Packaging

The Pimwadee purse is packed with care using eco-conscious materials. We include a white cotton drawstring pouch that acts as both protective packaging and a reusable storage bag. All external wrapping is recyclable. We avoid unnecessary plastic and aim to keep our packaging light, strong, and environmentally responsible. This approach aligns with our commitment to sustainability and helps ensure your bag arrives safely while reducing our environmental impact.

Unexpected Delays and How We Handle Them

Occasionally, delays can happen due to severe weather, customs inspections, or high-volume holiday periods. While rare, we ask for your patience if delivery takes slightly longer than estimated. We’ll work closely with EMS and keep you updated throughout the process. Your tracking number will remain active until the parcel is delivered, and our customer service team is always available to assist with any delivery-related concerns.

Address Accuracy and Delivery Success

Please double-check your shipping address before submitting your order. If the parcel is returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address, we will contact you to arrange a reshipment. The cost of reshipping must be covered by the customer. We cannot refund the original shipping charge in cases where an incorrect address caused the return. Getting your address right the first time ensures smooth delivery and avoids unnecessary costs or delays.

Returned Parcels and What to Expect

If your parcel is returned to our hub, we’ll notify you and offer reshipment or a refund. Bags must be in unused condition with all packaging intact. If you choose to have the item resent, the postage will need to be paid again. If you choose a refund, we’ll return the item cost once we’ve received and checked it. Original shipping fees are not refunded unless the bag arrived damaged or with a manufacturing fault.

Transparent Shipping Costs for Honest Pricing

Many brands include the cost of shipping in their product prices and advertise “free shipping” to cover it. We don’t do that. We show you the actual EMS shipping fee at checkout, so you only pay for what it costs to send your item. This is especially fair for customers who order multiple bags, since the EMS price remains the same for parcels up to 1kg. It means we don’t overcharge you for packaging or delivery.

What You Pay for Shipping Is What We Pay

We don’t believe in hidden fees or inflated shipping costs. At checkout, you’ll see the actual rate based on EMS pricing for your region. There are no handling, service, or admin charges added on top. You only pay the official EMS rate, and that’s exactly what we pay the courier to deliver your order. This keeps pricing fair and builds trust with our customers worldwide.

Returns Accepted for 14 Days After Delivery

If your Pimwadee purse arrives with a manufacturing defect, please let us know within 48 hours. Provide a photo or short video showing the issue, and we’ll offer you a replacement or a full refund. You can also return the item within 14 days for non-fault reasons. Returns must be sent to our Thailand hub using a tracked airfreight service. We will issue a refund once the item is received and verified to be unused and in original condition. Shipping costs are non-refundable unless the product is faulty.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

The Pimwadee Purse That Gives Back Locally

The Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse is more than a purse. With every purchase, 15% of the sale goes directly back to support the local Thai villages where it was made. This support is not symbolic. It funds real help for real people—covering basic daily costs like food, clothing, and schooling. The funds are sent straight to artisan families who handcraft the bags. This keeps the value in the community and makes sure the people behind the product benefit fairly. Every Pimwadee sale creates a direct link between craftsmanship and community care.

Support Focused Only on Our Artisan Villages

Our foundation is specific about who it supports. The 15% does not go to outside groups or general charity. It goes only to the families, teams, and helpers involved in our straw bag production. This targeted model keeps support personal and impactful. We know the names and faces of the people involved. We understand their challenges and respond quickly. When you buy the Pimwadee purse, your money doesn’t disappear into a system. It stays local, helps people you can trust, and honours the work that goes into every single detail.

Crafted in Five Regions of Thailand

The Pimwadee purse reflects the unique skills of five Thai provinces: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each community plays a different role in the process. Some focus on straw weaving. Others specialise in ribbons, flowers, and final touches. Our 15% return system ensures all regions are included in the reward. This model keeps local economies strong and honours the diversity of Thai craft traditions. The Pimwadee purse is beautiful because of the people who make it, and our model protects their place in the story.

Helping Families in Emergency Situations

Rural communities often face challenges without much warning. A storm might damage a roof. A motorbike might break down. A child might fall ill. These moments require fast action, not paperwork. That’s why the 15% return from each Pimwadee bag helps fund emergency support. We work with village leads to get help where it’s needed immediately. This can mean buying medicine, paying for repairs, or sending food to a struggling family. Every Pimwadee purchase helps us stay ready for life’s unexpected turns.

Removing Barriers to Schooling for Artisan Children

Families involved in weaving often struggle with the small but constant costs of keeping children in school. While education may be free, things like uniforms, transport, and daily meals are not. The Pimwadee purse helps cover these extras. When a bag is sold, part of the 15% goes towards education-related support for artisan families. This allows children to stay in school and participate fully without falling behind. Each Pimwadee sale keeps education accessible and protects the next generation’s opportunity to grow and learn.

Training Young Weavers to Carry on the Tradition

The Pimwadee Blue Ribbon Straw Flower Purse also plays a role in keeping Thai weaving alive. We use part of the return to fund hands-on training for young women in local communities. These new artisans learn the skills needed to carry the tradition forward. Training covers everything from raw material prep to detailed floral embellishment. Each Pimwadee purchase helps pay for tools, starter materials, and mentorship. The result is a new generation of weavers who can continue this proud craft and earn a stable income doing it.

Rewarding Everyone Who Contributes Behind the Scenes

Making a Pimwadee purse involves more than just the weaver. Other people help by prepping materials, delivering tools, watching children, or checking quality. Our 15% return allows us to reward these behind-the-scenes contributors too. Support can be shared among neighbours, family members, or village helpers involved in the process. This approach builds community pride and ensures that no effort goes unrecognised. Every Pimwadee bag reflects teamwork, and our support system reflects that same spirit of collective effort.

Built-In Support With No Extra Action Required

The Pimwadee purse includes its support automatically. You don’t need to round up your total or opt into a donation. The 15% return is built into the price and always activated with every sale. This keeps the model simple, transparent, and reliable. Customers receive a meaningful, handmade purse. Artisan families receive immediate, tangible help. There are no strings attached and no complicated systems. Each Pimwadee bag carries value in both craftsmanship and social impact, without requiring extra work from anyone involved.

Fast Help That Starts the Moment a Bag Is Sold

Once a Pimwadee purse is sold, the support begins. We don’t delay funds or wait for quarterly reviews. The system is built for immediate response. Village leaders contact our team directly when a need arises. Whether it’s broken tools, urgent food supplies, or school fees, we respond quickly. This keeps the support timely and useful. The Pimwadee bag doesn’t just look good—it works fast to make sure the families behind it feel supported, seen, and appreciated in real time.

Giving That Respects Thai Belief Systems

In the villages where Pimwadee bags are made, families come from both Buddhist and Christian backgrounds. We honour both traditions. For Buddhist artisans, giving back is seen as merit-making. For Christian weavers, it’s an act of love and service. Our foundation doesn’t choose between them. We provide support respectfully, allowing each family to interpret its meaning in their own way. The Pimwadee purse carries more than style. It carries compassion, shared values, and community care rooted in Thai spiritual and cultural life.
