Natural straw construction & scallop detail
We source natural straw fibers that are woven into a durable, textured finish you can see and feel. The authentic material brings organic texture to your look without sacrificing structure — this tote holds its shape whether you’re carrying a beach towel or groceries.
The signature scalloped edge runs along the entire top opening, adding a playful, feminine finish that sets this tote apart from basic straw bags. Each scallop is carefully formed during the weaving process to create a consistent, polished edge. The natural tone complements the entire bags and accessories collection we’ve built for versatile summer style.
Sizing & capacity for everyday use
Roomy interior dimensions
At approximately 18 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and 6 inches deep, this tote offers generous space for daily essentials and more. The open-top design means no zippers or clasps to slow you down — just drop in your wallet, sunglasses, water bottle, and sunscreen.
Comfortable carry
We reinforced both handles where they attach to the bag body, so you can load up without worry. The handles measure approximately 10 inches drop, sitting comfortably on your shoulder whether you’re wearing a tank top or light cardigan. The width distributes weight evenly for all-day comfort.
Care instructions for natural straw
Because this Universal Thread straw scallop woven tote handbag is made from natural fibers, we recommend spot cleaning only. Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt or marks, then allow the bag to air dry completely before storing.
Avoid soaking the straw or submerging it in water, as this can weaken the fibers and cause the structure to lose its shape. Store your tote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. If the bag gets wet from rain, blot excess moisture with a towel and reshape gently while drying flat.

This straw scallop woven tote works beautifully for both travel and everyday errands. Many customers use it as a personal item on flights or as a beach bag during vacation.
The spacious interior fits travel essentials like a book, snacks, headphones, and a water bottle. The structured shape prevents it from collapsing when you set it down, and the lightweight natural straw won’t add bulk to your luggage when you’re not using it.
While this tote can handle brief exposure to light rain, we recommend avoiding prolonged contact with water. Natural straw fibers can absorb moisture, which may temporarily affect the bag’s shape.
If your tote does get wet, blot excess water with a clean towel and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Reshape the bag gently while it dries to maintain the structure. For heavy rain, we suggest carrying the tote inside another waterproof bag or waiting until conditions improve.
