PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Straw Bucket Bag with Dynamic Texture

The Thidarat Straw Spiral Weave Bucket Bag makes a bold impression with its hand-twisted spiral body. Alternating dark and golden strands form a rich two-tone pattern that adds depth and movement. Its shape tapers slightly at the top, creating a clean bucket silhouette with a grounded base. Because the pattern wraps fully around the bag, it creates visual rhythm from every angle. This straw bucket bag is both sturdy and full of character, crafted for those who appreciate natural texture.

Handcrafted from Water Hyacinth and Natural Fibre

Artisans in Thailand collect water hyacinth from local rivers, dry it under the sun, and twist it into thick rope-like strands. They then coil and stitch each row by hand to form the bag’s curved body. The darker tones are created by sun-baking select fibres to deepen their hue. Because the process is entirely manual, every Thidarat Straw Bucket Bag carries the mark of the maker. No machinery, no plastic—just skilled hands, strong materials, and cultural craft.

Drawstring Closure with Wooden Beads

The soft cotton top cinches securely with a pull-tie drawstring, keeping your belongings covered while still easy to access. Two wooden beads finish the cords, adding a tactile and natural detail that fits with the overall design. The drawstring top means you can secure the bag without zips or buttons, making it quieter and gentler in use. This feature helps transition the straw bucket bag from open-tote to secure carryall, perfect for day trips, commutes, or beach use.

Comfortable to Hold, Spacious Inside

Although compact in size, this straw bucket bag holds all your daily essentials. The cotton-lined interior offers room for your wallet, phone, keys, makeup, and even a small notebook. The double straw handles feel smooth in hand, and their twisted design gives them added durability. You can carry it on your arm or in-hand without discomfort. Because of the reinforced base, the bag stays upright and balanced when set down.

The Meaning of the Name Thidarat

Thidarat is a Thai name meaning “daughter of virtue,” reflecting the honest, grounded nature of this design. The spiral weave mirrors a sense of movement and growth, while the natural tones echo warmth and stability. This straw bucket bag doesn’t follow loud trends—it holds its own through subtle detail, craft, and practical beauty. It’s for women who value quiet strength and thoughtful design.

A Natural Fit for Everyday Outfits

This bag pairs easily with casual and earthy styles. You can wear it with cotton dresses, woven sandals, or linen separates for a soft summer look. It also blends well with jeans, button-ups, or oversized knits during transitional seasons. The two-tone spiral adds interest to simple outfits without feeling flashy. To explore more wearable designs, browse our Handmade Straw Bags and Eco-Friendly Straw Bags collections.

Durable and Lightweight by Design

Despite its firm shape, the Thidarat Straw Bucket Bag remains lightweight and comfortable to use. The weave resists stretching or collapsing, even after long days of carry. Its flat base allows it to stand up easily, and the drawstring keeps everything in place. Unlike many soft-top bags, this one combines function with form—making it ideal for daily errands, market runs, or slow travel. It offers strength without bulk, structure without weight.

A Gift That Feels Personal

If you’re shopping for a thoughtful gift, this straw bucket bag makes a beautiful option. Its handmade nature, sculptural shape, and neutral tones suit a wide range of styles. Because each one is made by hand, no two bags are exactly alike. That uniqueness makes it feel more personal. To explore more gift-ready bags, visit our Small & Mini Straw Bags or Coloured & Dyed Straw Bags collections.

Custom Colour Options on Request

We offer nine custom combinations for colour and lining upon request. Customers can select from variations in spiral contrast, drawstring tone, or cotton lining. Custom orders take 14 to 21 days and involve a small additional fee. Whether you’re coordinating a themed wardrobe or simply want something unique, your straw bucket bag can be made to reflect your vision. Each custom order still follows the same handmade process from our Thai artisan teams.

Sustainably Made from River to Stitch

This bag is crafted entirely from water hyacinth, a plant that grows quickly and regenerates easily. No chemicals are used in harvesting or processing. The dye-free fibre is sun-baked for colour variation, and the lining is sewn from natural cotton. There are no plastic parts, synthetic padding, or adhesives—just clean materials shaped by hand. If you value sustainability, this straw bucket bag delivers without compromise.

A Bag That Grows with You

The spiral design speaks to growth and movement. That symbolism fits the purpose of this piece—it travels, adapts, and supports your day. As seasons shift, it remains relevant. As styles evolve, it still holds up. The Thidarat Straw Bucket Bag doesn’t need reinvention. It simply keeps serving, looking beautiful, and telling a quiet story of skilled hands and natural rhythm.

Each Straw Bucket Bag Is Individually Made

Because artisans make each bag by hand, no two are identical. You may notice slight shifts in spiral spacing, drawstring shape, or weave tone. These small changes add to the charm. They prove that your bag is not mass produced. It’s yours—and yours alone. That personal connection makes this bag more than just an accessory. It makes it a companion piece, filled with story and soul.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Worldwide Shipping for the Thidarat Bucket Bag

The Thidarat Straw Spiral Weave Bucket Bag is shipped internationally through EMS Thailand World Airfreight. This courier service provides fast, secure, and fully trackable delivery to all EMS-recognised safe countries. Once your bag is dispatched from our hub, we’ll email you a tracking number so you can follow its journey. We do not inflate our product prices to hide shipping costs. Instead, you’ll see the exact EMS shipping fee at checkout. EMS uses a flat rate for parcels under 1kg, so if you buy more than one bag, the cost is often the same. You only pay what we pay.

Handwoven in Thai Villages, Shipped from Our Hub

The Thidarat bag is handmade by local artisans in rural Thai provinces including Phayao, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Sawan, and Phatthalung. Each bag is coiled in a unique spiral weave and finished with natural straw detailing. After it’s completed, the bag is sent to our central dispatch hub in Nakhon Sawan. From there, it’s inspected, documented, packed, and posted via EMS. This structured system allows us to support community weaving while maintaining professional quality control, ensuring your bag arrives exactly as intended.

Checked, Photographed, and Packed with Care

Every Thidarat Bucket Bag is individually inspected before shipping. We examine the spiral weave structure, the strength of the handles, and the shape to confirm it meets our standards. Then, we photograph and record the exact bag before packaging. It is placed inside a reusable white cotton drawstring pouch, which protects it during shipping and serves as an elegant storage solution. We pack using only recyclable, plastic-free materials to keep your order safe and environmentally friendly throughout its journey.

Estimated EMS Shipping Timelines by Region

Delivery times begin after dispatch and do not include production time for custom orders. EMS estimates are:

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
Delivery can occasionally take longer due to customs clearance, local holidays, or courier disruptions.

Timeframe for Custom Colours or Embroidery

If you have ordered a personalised Thidarat bag with embroidery, initials, or a different colour from our nine custom shades, please allow 14 to 21 business days for production. These are made to order and crafted with care by our artisan team. After production, the bag is checked and dispatched via EMS. Delivery estimates apply only once the product has been posted. Custom bags are handled with extra attention to detail to ensure they meet your expectations.

Real-Time Tracking and Delivery Updates

Once your Thidarat bag is dispatched, you’ll receive a tracking number via email. This allows you to follow the parcel across every stage of its journey. If you do not receive tracking information within 24 hours, please check your junk folder or reach out to us. We personally track every parcel and are available to assist you with updates, delivery concerns, or courier issues. From dispatch to arrival, you’ll always have support.

Delivery Completed by Local Postal Services

After EMS transfers your parcel to your country, the local postal or delivery service completes the final stage. While we are not responsible for delays caused by domestic couriers, we will assist you with tracking and follow-up if necessary. Most of our deliveries are completed without problems, but if any issues arise after the parcel leaves EMS, our team will help you get the resolution you need quickly and professionally.

Do You Need to Pay Import Duties or Taxes?

Most Thidarat bags are delivered without customs fees, but some countries do apply VAT or import taxes. These charges are not included in your order total and are the customer’s responsibility. Based on our experience, straw bags often clear customs without extra charges. However, local rules vary, and we advise checking with your local customs authority if you are unsure. We’re happy to help guide you through the process if questions come up.

Eco-Friendly Packaging with Reusable Storage

We take pride in our sustainable packaging. Your Thidarat bag is packed in a cotton drawstring pouch, then placed inside recyclable protective packaging. No plastic, no wasteful wrapping, and no excess. Our packaging is designed to be both protective and practical. It reflects our commitment to the environment and supports long-term storage of your bag. When your order arrives, you’ll receive not just a product, but an experience that respects both craftsmanship and the planet.

What to Expect in Case of Delays

While EMS delivery is typically fast and reliable, delays can occasionally occur due to customs checks, national holidays, or severe weather. If your parcel is delayed, we will continue to track it and offer updates. Our customer support team remains involved until the order is delivered. If anything unusual arises, we’ll step in to help resolve it. You can always rely on us to stay connected and provide updates until your bag is safely delivered.

Make Sure Your Address Is Complete

Please double-check your delivery address before placing your order. Any incorrect or incomplete information can result in failed delivery or returned parcels. If your order is returned due to an error in the address you provided, we will notify you and offer a redelivery option. You will be responsible for the cost of the second shipment. We are unable to refund the original shipping charge in such cases, so accuracy at checkout is essential.

Returned Orders and Reshipping Procedure

If your Thidarat bag is returned to us for any reason, such as failed delivery or address error, we’ll contact you to arrange redelivery. Reshipping costs must be covered by the customer. Our team documents all outgoing products with high-resolution photos and video, ensuring each parcel leaves our hub in excellent condition. We use these records to manage returns and support any follow-up, making the process fair and efficient.

Why We Don’t Bundle Shipping into Bag Prices

We believe in transparent, fair pricing. That’s why we don’t inflate the cost of the Thidarat bag to include shipping. EMS charges one fixed rate for parcels under 1kg, so ordering multiple items often costs the same to ship as one. By separating product and shipping costs, we make it easier for you to see exactly what you’re paying. This model rewards bulk orders and avoids overcharging customers who only want to buy one item.

Only Pay What EMS Charges Us

At checkout, the delivery fee reflects the actual cost EMS charges us to send your parcel. We don’t add packing, admin, or handling fees. Your payment covers only the real courier rate. The white cotton pouch, photography, inspection, and protective packaging are already included in the bag’s price. This gives you full value without hidden extras and helps us build long-term trust with our global customer base.

Returns, Refunds, and Product Condition

If your Thidarat bag arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Provide clear photos or a short video to show the problem. Once approved, we’ll offer a refund or send a replacement. If you wish to return the bag for other reasons, you may do so within 14 days of receipt. You must use a tracked airfreight courier and provide the tracking number. Once the item is received and inspected, we will issue a refund for the product price. Shipping charges are not refunded unless the item was faulty.

ORDERING INFORMATION

OUR FOUNDATION

The Purpose Behind the Thidarat Bag

The Thidarat Straw Spiral Weave Bucket Bag is a detailed and graceful piece made by skilled hands across Thailand. Its design speaks of care and artistry, but it also plays a deeper role. Each time a customer buys this bag, 15% of the sale is directed straight back to the artisan villages that made it possible. That return funds food, education, training, and urgent help when families need it most. This bag becomes more than an accessory. It becomes part of a model that gives consistently, helping the same communities whose craft makes the Thidarat bag so distinctive.

Support That Stays in Artisan Hands

The foundation linked to the Thidarat bag supports only the people involved in making it. This includes the women who weave, the people who help gather straw, and the extended families who support the work. We do not fund public programs. The 15% is reserved for real, practical support in the homes where these bags are made. That means if someone’s roof needs repairing or a child needs school supplies, the money is already there to assist. With each sale, the support remains close, specific, and impactful—delivered quietly where it’s needed most.

Created Across Five Weaving Provinces

The Thidarat bag is the result of collaboration across five provinces in Thailand: Phayao, Nakhon Sawan, Phatthalung, Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Each location contributes something essential, from preparing the natural straw to coiling the spirals and shaping the final form. The 15% return from every sale is then distributed directly to these provinces, village by village. This way, the benefit flows in the same direction as the craft. The bag represents a full-circle journey—one that begins and ends with the hands of the people who make it.

Immediate Relief When Life Gets Tough

Rural families often face urgent situations that need fast action. Whether it’s medical treatment, housing repairs, or temporary loss of income, delays can make things worse. The Thidarat bag supports a fund designed to respond quickly. Because our team lives in the same areas as the artisans, we can deliver help directly, without red tape. The moment a need is confirmed, the response is immediate. This is possible because the 15% from each sale builds a local fund. Customers may never see it, but their order is already making life easier for someone within days.

Helping Children Stay in School

In the artisan villages where Thidarat bags are made, children often face challenges staying in school due to basic costs. Bus fares, exam fees, school shoes, and supplies can push families to the limit. Part of the 15% return from each bag goes toward covering these everyday school needs. This gives children from weaving families a better chance to stay in class and continue their education without added stress. Every Thidarat sale helps build that support system, ensuring that the opportunity to learn stays open and available for those most closely involved in the weaving process.

Supporting Weaving Training for Young Women

Weaving is a practical and respected skill in Thai villages, especially for women who need flexible work. Our foundation funds training for girls and young women who want to learn the spiral weave style used in the Thidarat bag. Apprentices work closely with experienced weavers, gaining hands-on experience over weeks or months. The return from each bag sale pays their training allowance and supplies. This not only keeps the tradition alive, but it also gives young women the chance to earn from home. The Thidarat bag helps build futures while preserving a deeply rooted cultural art form.

Recognising Everyone Who Makes the Work Possible

For every finished Thidarat bag, many people play a quiet part. Grandparents may babysit, brothers may drive supplies, neighbours may help carry tools or cook meals. These tasks are essential to the workflow, even if they happen in the background. Our foundation makes sure they’re not overlooked. A portion of the 15% is used to say thank you—sometimes in the form of groceries, transport help, or small household support. The goal is fairness. The Thidarat bag symbolises shared effort. Every contribution matters, and our support reaches as many of those contributors as possible.

Giving Without Asking for More

Customers don’t need to take extra steps. The 15% return is already built into the Thidarat Straw Spiral Weave Bucket Bag. When someone makes a purchase, the support is automatically activated. This makes the process simple and fair. There are no extra costs or hidden fees. The help flows quietly, built into every order. This structure lets us give consistently. Families know support is on the way. The buyer receives a handcrafted product, and the maker receives something back. It’s a system of mutual respect—woven into every coil and loop of the bag itself.

Results That Happen Fast and Locally

The impact of each Thidarat sale is not theoretical. It’s real and fast. The moment a bag is sold, a portion of that income is ready to be used. Within days, a family may receive food support, repairs may begin, or school bills may be paid. The foundation team doesn’t rely on slow systems. They live in the same villages and know what’s happening. This closeness makes our model efficient and trusted. The Thidarat bag is part of that rhythm. It brings value to the buyer, but it also brings peace of mind and relief to the weaver’s home.

Aligned With Local Faith and Values

Our giving is inspired by the values that guide rural Thai life. Some of our artisan families are Buddhist and view support as an act of merit. Others are Christian and see giving as a form of love and service. We work in harmony with both beliefs. Our support is delivered in quiet, respectful ways that match local culture. Whether it’s a food parcel, school payment, or one-on-one help, the tone is always personal. The Thidarat bag is born from this environment of care and belief. It carries those values with it wherever it travels.
