The Mawja Straw Backpack

The straw backpack that goes to work

"Mawja" means wave — and this is Moroccan craft breaking into the city. Handwoven from natural palm straw in a sleek, flat silhouette just 9 cm deep, with full-grain leather top handles and adjustable buckled backpack straps, it holds a 13″ laptop, your notebook, and your day. Each one is made by a single artisan — no two are exactly alike.

Designed for everyday motion

• Slim, structured profile — city-friendly at just 9 cm deep, and it holds its shape.
• Laptop-ready — fits a 13″ laptop, A4 documents, and magazines.
• Two ways to carry — backpack straps or leather top handles.
• Six colourways — from quiet Brown and Black to bold Pink and Royal Blue.

Details

• Material: handwoven palm straw with genuine leather straps and handles
• Dimensions: 33 × 38 × 9 cm (13" × 15" × 3.5")
• Colours: Brown, Blue, Black, Burgundy, Green, Pink

Care

• Spot clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• Keep the leather away from damp and direct sun.
• Condition the leather occasionally with a natural balm.

Each bag is handmade, so slight variations in weave, leather tone, and size are natural — and unique to yours.
