Moroccan Straw Bags & Market Baskets
Woven by Fatima's cooperative in Marrakech
Every basket here starts as dried palm or doum fibre, soaked, split and woven by hand, most of it by Fatima's cooperative in Marrakech, a group of women who have been weaving together for twelve years. The leather trim is cut and stitched separately, then married to the basket by hand.
A straw tote built to be carried
They're built for use rather than display: a market run, a beach day, a weekend of flowers and bread and a bottle of something. Straw softens where you carry it and darkens slightly where your hand sits, which is how a good basket earns its face over a couple of summers.
Sizes, and how to style a market basket
Sizes run from a mini shoulder basket to a shopper that swallows a picnic. New to them? Our guide on how to style a French market basket bag has seven outfits to start from, and here is why the woven basket is the only summer bag you need.
Handbags & Totes: questions we are asked
What are Mogadoro straw bags made from?
Dried palm or doum fibre that is soaked, split and woven by hand, mostly by Fatima's cooperative in Marrakech. The leather trim is cut and stitched separately and joined to the basket by hand.
Will my straw basket change over time?
Yes, in a good way. Straw softens where you carry it and darkens slightly where your hand sits, so the basket develops its own character over a couple of summers.

Sizes run from a mini shoulder basket to a large shopper that holds a full picnic. Each product page lists its measurements.
