ALMASI: Yellow Diamond Palm Beach Bag

Hit the beach with ALMASI, our stylish palm basket bag. With leather handles and its generous dimensions, this handwoven beach bag boasts a yellow diamond design against white and is woven from Kenyan palm leaf. ALMASI will soon become your go-to summer accessory whether you’re beaching or picnicking, packing up for a weekend break or festival or hitting the shops.  The weavers who produce these beach totes earn their main income from farming, and live in a particularly arid part of South Eastern Kenya. While drought continues to make lives extremely challenging for farmers, palm leaf is hardy and grows abundantly in this part of Kenya. Weaving and selling these spacious beach baskets gives families an alternative income that is sustainable and safe. Taking pressure off their vulnerable ecosystem and becoming less reliant on farming is essential for these communities to thrive. Basket weaving empowers women through work that is flexible, creative, and fairly paid, to support their families and to protect their environment for generations to come. Due to the natural fibres used to produce these woven bags, please keep your bag dry as dyes can run slightly if exposed to excessive moisture.
