Biarritz City Tote – Elegant Woven Shopping Bag
The Biarritz City Tote captures the ease of sunlit mornings and the rhythm of city afternoons. Handwoven from Thai water hyacinth, it brings natural texture into a softly structured silhouette — refined, yet effortlessly relaxed.
Subtle variations in plant-based dyes create a warm interplay of tones, giving each piece its own distinctive pattern. Lightweight yet durable, it offers generous space for daily essentials, market finds, a light knit, or your workday notebook.
Designed to move seamlessly from shopping streets to café terraces, the Biarritz City Tote is an elevated everyday companion with a modern woven presence.
Handcrafted in Thailand. Thoughtfully made. Always one of a kind.

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.

- Avoid carrying heavy items to maintain shape.
- Clean gently with a soft cloth.

- 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.
