“Absolute stunning craftsmanship on this bag. Hard to describe in words but in your hands it’s so sturdy and the colors (plus all the details from the weaving) just shine. One of a kind bag and gift.”

I didn’t think the bag is this big, but surprisingly it is so light to carry and beautifully hand weaved. I am looking forward to taking the bag to the market🥰

Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A colorful woven tote bag with a patchwork design. The bag features a vibrant mix of orange, pink, yellow, blue, and green squares. It has matching pink and orange handles and sits on a wooden surface.

A bag that took 4 days to make — and will last you years.

This large handwoven market tote is made by Kathir and Padmini, a couple from the South Indian town of Kanchipuram. They hand-knot each bag in their spare hours after their day jobs, using recycled plastic wire — a material that is strong, washable, and keeps plastic out of landfill.

The pattern is Madras Kattam — inspired by the iconic check design from Chennai (formerly Madras), one of South India's most beloved visual traditions. Bold, graphic, and entirely handmade.
