Handmade Sitalpati Straw Bag

Rooted in Bengal's centuries-old weaving tradition, our Sitalpati straw bag is a celebration of craft, culture, and conscious living. Each piece is hand-woven by skilled artisans using naturally cooling Sitalpati reeds — making it as beautiful as it is purposeful.

The Art of Sitalpati

Sitalpati, meaning 'cool mat' in Bengali, is a GI-tagged heritage craft from the wetlands of West Bengal and Assam. Our artisans transform this ancient material into contemporary accessories that carry the soul of their makers.

Why Choose This Bag

Lightweight, breathable, and naturally textured — this bag pairs effortlessly with both casual and elevated looks. Its structured weave holds its shape beautifully, making it as functional as it is stylish.

Perfect For

Everyday carry, travel, gifting, beach outings, and sustainable fashion lovers.

Material & Care

100% natural Sitalpati reed. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Wipe gently with a dry cloth to maintain its natural sheen.
