PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Tanapat Straw Beach Bag with Bold Pattern and Generous Space

The Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag brings visual impact, practical structure, and authentic Thai weaving into one standout summer design. With a spacious body, oval base, and full-circle handles, it’s built for both function and form. Its black-and-natural zigzag weave gives it an artistic texture that feels modern yet deeply rooted in craft. Whether you’re styling for a beach day or a laid-back resort look, this bag offers both durability and bold contrast.

Wide Straw Beach Bag with a Rounded Shape

This design features a curved, oval base that widens through the body, creating a roomy interior without feeling bulky. Its structured bottom allows it to sit upright on sand, tabletops, or sun loungers. The top narrows slightly to balance the silhouette and make carrying easy. If you need a beach-ready tote that still looks elegant in the city, the Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag delivers.

Woven Black Straw Pattern for Natural Contrast

What makes this bag stand out is the bold, zigzag-style pattern created from alternating black and natural straw. Each strand is placed by hand, giving the bag its unique rhythm and texture. The weave is tight, supportive, and visually captivating. This isn’t a plain straw bag—it’s a conversation piece. Because every bag is woven by hand, each piece offers slightly different detailing and texture.

Circular Handles Wrapped in Matching Straw

The dual round handles are thick and comfortable, wrapped in natural straw for a unified look. These circle handles offer easy grip and a balanced feel when carried by hand or on the forearm. Their shape mirrors the bag’s base, reinforcing the soft geometry that makes this design feel so refined. You can hold it confidently all day without discomfort.

The Meaning Behind ‘Tanapat’

In Thai, ‘Tanapat’ (ธนพัฒน์) is a name often associated with prosperity, strength, and integrity. That symbolism aligns perfectly with this bag. The Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag combines strength in materials, clarity in design, and purpose in form. It’s confident without trying too hard—a piece made for those who value style rooted in substance.

Perfect for Beach Days, Markets and Travel

Whether you’re headed for the coast, packing for a tropical getaway, or just browsing your local market, this bag has the space and strength to keep up. It holds beach towels, water bottles, sunscreen, snacks, and more. Its breathable straw construction prevents heat buildup, and the open top makes access easy. Despite its size, the structure keeps everything in place.

Unlined and Lightweight for Everyday Ease

The bag’s unlined body keeps it lightweight, breezy, and naturally breathable. No synthetic layers or zippers weigh it down. Instead, the focus remains on the woven surface and functional form. This makes it easier to carry longer distances, whether walking along boardwalks, sandy beaches, or open-air markets. Its simplicity supports day-long wear without sacrificing utility.

Handcrafted in Northern Thailand by Skilled Weavers

Every Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag is handwoven by artisan teams in Phayao and Chiang Mai. These women use local straw materials and traditional weaving techniques to build each bag from the base up. Their expertise ensures strong construction, balanced form, and long-term usability. When you purchase this piece, you directly support heritage Thai craft and ethical rural employment.

Made Using Sustainable Straw and Natural Materials

This bag is crafted from water hyacinth straw, a fast-growing, renewable material harvested locally in Thailand. It’s biodegradable, non-toxic, and processed without chemicals. Because it doesn’t contain synthetic linings, metal fasteners, or plastics, the Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag fits into any eco-conscious lifestyle. Style and sustainability walk hand in hand with this design.

A Beautiful Gift for Sun Lovers and Minimalists

This piece makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays, or pre-trip surprises. It suits women who enjoy large totes, natural textures, or neutral palettes with bold edge. Whether for a friend heading abroad or someone embracing a slower lifestyle, this bag brings both function and beauty in a format they’ll use over and over again.

Pairs Effortlessly with Neutrals and Bold Prints

The black-and-natural weave makes this bag incredibly versatile. It works well with monochrome outfits, earth tones, printed kaftans, or solid linen dresses. Use it to anchor bright colours or complement black swimsuits, denim skirts, or wide-leg trousers. Its pattern adds visual movement, while the straw texture keeps everything grounded.

Care Tips for Long-Term Use

To maintain the bag’s structure, store it upright in a dry, shaded area. Avoid soaking or compressing it under weight.

With care, your Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag will stay bold and functional for years.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

Phayao as the Source of Hyacinth Weaving and Straw Harvesting

The Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag is handcrafted by women artisans working within The Straw Bag Company’s national production network. Phayao, a northern province in Thailand, is the central location for our water hyacinth harvesting and weaving. Here, more than 30 full-time female artisans gather daily to prepare raw materials, complete custom orders, and maintain the quality of our core straw collections. These women work in team-led groups using traditional weaving methods and contribute directly to every hyacinth-based design we produce.

Expanded Regional Production Across Thailand

Beyond Phayao, we operate regional craft teams in Nakhon Sawan, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Phatthalung, where the focus shifts to seagrass weaving using local krajood straw. Once the base is prepared, detailed hand-stitching and finishing are completed in small villages across Chiang Mai. This decentralised production model allows The Straw Bag Company to employ over 80 individuals nationwide, including harvesters, weavers, hand-stitchers, local production coordinators, and quality control leads. Every Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag is made entirely within Thailand using regionally sourced materials and artisan-led processes.

Work Built Around Women’s Daily Realities

We prioritise flexible employment that works alongside the lives of our makers. Most artisans are responsible for their families and choose to work from home or within their village’s weaving group. We pay based on time worked, not volume produced, so that each woman receives a fair and predictable income. This model reduces stress, supports higher attention to detail, and enables rural women to contribute economically without needing to leave their homes or communities.

Fifteen Percent of Profits Reinvested Into Local Villages

Fifteen percent of profits from every bag sold are reinvested directly into the artisan communities responsible for our production. These funds support immediate and practical needs. We help cover the cost of materials for artisans who cannot afford them upfront. We also assist with school transport, uniforms, and supplies for their children. When families face short-term challenges, our regional team leaders coordinate temporary financial support to keep them stable and working. Our school leaver programmes offer structured training for younger women who wish to enter the artisan workforce, providing them with mentorship and paid learning opportunities.

Backing National Development Through Craft and Tourism

We actively contribute to Thailand’s One Tambon One Product (OTOP) programme, which supports rural entrepreneurship and local craftsmanship. Our business also aligns with the broader objectives of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. We support the TAT News platform and the Amazing Thailand campaign, both of which promote responsible tourism and highlight the cultural importance of rural craftsmanship. These national efforts help amplify the visibility of artisans and small producers throughout the country.

A Beach Bag That Builds a Stronger Future

The Tanapat Black Straw Beach Bag is more than a beach-ready accessory. It is the result of ethical labour, fair pay, and community investment. Each purchase supports the livelihood of Thai artisans, keeps traditional weaving alive, and strengthens the foundation of sustainable, village-based production in Thailand.
