Sitalpati Tote Bag | Handwoven Bengal Heritage

Experience the cooling comfort of Bengal's traditional Sitalpati craft with this elegant handwoven tote bag. Each piece is a living tribute to a GI-tagged heritage art form — woven by skilled artisans from the wetlands of West Bengal and Assam.

What is Sitalpati?

Sitalpati, meaning 'cool mat' in Bengali, is a centuries-old weaving tradition using naturally cooling reeds. The craft is GI-tagged, recognizing its deep cultural roots and the irreplaceable skill of its makers.

Beautifully Functional

Lightweight, breathable, and naturally textured — this tote is as practical as it is beautiful. Its structured form holds its shape through every errand and adventure, while its natural tones complement any wardrobe.

Perfect For

Daily carry, travel, gifting, beach outings, and lovers of heritage craft and conscious fashion.

Material & Care

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