Bananera Tote
€90,00
Crafted from handwoven banana fibre, this Bananera tote is designed for days spent in the sun — from beach mornings and market strolls to weekend escapes and everyday errands. Lightweight, flexible, and naturally textured, it’s the bag you’ll reach for whenever you want easy, effortless style.
Each tote is made by Thai artisans who turn dried banana leaves into soft, durable fibres using generations-old techniques. The weave is breathable yet strong, making it ideal for towels, produce, notebooks, or your daily essentials. Its warm earth tones and relaxed silhouette pair beautifully with summer outfits, coastal looks, and casual streetwear.

A Note on Handcraft & Natural Fibres
All the details you see — the slight variations in colour, the gentle unevenness in texture, or the subtle marks in the fibre — are not imperfections.
They are the authentic signature of handwoven craft and the natural beauty of banana leaf fibre.
Because each bag is made entirely by hand and shaped from real plant material, every piece is unique and no two bags will ever be exactly the same. These organic characteristics reflect the charm of slow-made craftsmanship and nature’s character, not factory-produced precision.
Care Instructions
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated place.
- Avoid carrying heavy items to maintain shape.
- Clean gently with a soft cloth.
- If wet, towel-dry and air or sun-dry for 3–4 hours.
- Use low-heat hair dryer only for quick drying.
- Keep in a breathable dust bag when not in use and add small silica gel package or natural moisture absorber inside the bag.
- Expect natural variations — each piece is uniquely handwoven.
- Filling with tissue paper, clean newspaper, or soft fabric to maintain its shape ( for water hyacinth, banana leaf and lepironia's material)
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top.
