Item Description

This eco-chic purse is hand-crafted from grasses picked in the Mekong River Delta in Cambodia. The stalks are hand-dyed and woven into beautiful designs. This 8'' tall purse has tan and speckled with red grasses. It has a firm, attached black strap.  This handbag does not have a removeable strap like is shown in the photo.  

From Saraye website:  

Baskets of Cambodia took its first utterly unique turn with our petite Avi purse not only designed for the smaller woman, but curved to conform to her body as well. In all our searches we have yet to discover a purse curved distinctly for this purpose. Some customers call this a commuter purse because it is so comfortable to hold close to the body in crowded situations. This is the style that complements not just your sense of style, but also your form. 

Dimensions L X W X H     =  10” x 8.5” x 3.5"

Proper Care

Here are some tips: Just like a leather purse 1) If soiled, clean lightly with a damp vegetable brush and let dry. 2) Avoid sharp edges and do not overstuff! 3) Do not soak in water 4) If it gets wet naturally, just let it dry naturally inside 5) Keep cool and dry away from prolonged hard sunlight or high heat to preserve the color intensity. Treat your purse well and it will be a joy for years to come.

Contains:

  • A black strap
  • A securing strap at the top of the bag
  • A zipper at the top of the bag
