Sustainability & Production
Sustainability & Production
Raffia palm is harvested in a way that encourages new growth-the plant actually benefits from the process. It's fully biodegradable, breaking down naturally within a few years, compared to synthetic totes that persist in landfills for 500+ years. Each bag is hand-woven by skilled artisans who are fairly compensated for their work. No synthetic materials, no plastic components, no shortcuts in how it's made or who makes it.

FAQ
FAQ
Q: Will this bag meet clear bag requirements at my venue?
A: Yes! Our Clear Fringe Crossbody is designed to comply with standard NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, and major festival clear bag policies. It's 8.5" x 5.5", which falls within the typical 12" x 6" x 12" or 12" x 12" limits most venues require. However, we always recommend checking your specific venue's policy before your event, as rules can occasionally vary.
Q: Is this bag actually durable, or will it crack like other clear bags?
A: We specifically designed this bag to solve that exact problem! It's made from high-quality GRS-certified recycled PVC that's significantly more durable than the thin plastic used in cheap clear bags. Our customers report using theirs for multiple seasons without cracking or yellowing. Plus, it's water-resistant, so your belongings stay protected.
Q: What size phone fits inside?
A: It comfortably fits most smartphones, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra—even with a case on. The interior also has a built-in card slot, so you can access your ID or credit card without digging through the bag.
Q: Can I wear this casually, or does it only work for events?
A: While it was designed for venues with clear bag policies, our customers love wearing it for everyday outings too! The fringe detail makes it feel more like a fashion statement than a security requirement. It's perfect for hands-free shopping, running errands, weekend brunches, or any time you want to travel light.
Q: How do I clean my clear bag?
A: Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. The durable PVC material is easy to maintain and won't stain or discolor with regular cleaning.
Q: Why is this more expensive than other clear bags?
A: Great question! Unlike disposable clear bags made from virgin plastics in exploitative conditions, we use recycled materials and pay fair wages to our production team. This costs more upfront but creates a bag that lasts for years instead of one season—saving you money long-term and reducing waste. Quality over quantity is part of our commitment to sustainability.
Q: Is the fringe just glued on, or is it secure?
A: The fringe is professionally attached and reinforced—it won't fall off or fray. We've tested these bags extensively to ensure every detail holds up through regular use.
Q: Can I fit a small water bottle inside?
A: This bag is designed for essentials (phone, wallet, keys, small items) rather than bulky items like water bottles. For stadium events, remember that most venues don't allow outside beverages anyway. Focus on your must-haves. this bag makes carrying them effortless.

Purchased the raffia tote for myself and have loved it! I found myself using it so much that I've been asked more than once where I got it! I've purchased two more for birthday gifts for friends and they've been thrilled with the versatility and great look of the tote! Great quality at a good price point!

This bag has been such a fun addition to my closet! It’s spacious enough for everyday use, and I love how easy it is to style. Add a cute twilly or charm and it transitions perfectly from summer into fall and winter. The raffia is very sturdy, and the overall look really gives designer vibes for a fraction of the price. Please make this in suede next! :D

I was really impressed with the quality of this bag. The flexible rafia material lets you fit a lot in this bag, but also has such a cute structure and shape. I can easily fit my laptop, water bottle, and other everyday items into the bag. I'm definitely still using this into fall, and it's my go-to bag in the spring and summer!
