The Row Loretta Bag Black is an artisanally crafted rectangular tote bag in natural raffia, with folded construction, wide ribbon handles, and an open top. Folded construction means the bag takes its shape from folds in the material rather than from added structure, and the open top leaves the interior easy to reach. Ribbon handles are flat, wide bands rather than thin cords. The textile is crocheted by artisans, and its tight structure lends natural texture as well as increased durability to the minimal silhouette. Crochet builds fabric from interlocking loops, which explains the dense, tactile surface.
Raffia is a fibre taken from the leaves of the raffia palm, and the natural palm fibers here are woven traditionally by hand, which highlights the practical beauty of artisanal craftsmanship. Each finished item shows distinctive outer stitch marks, and variations in thickness, color, and elasticity reflect the material’s inherent quality and unique character. Heat or humidity may leave the material stiffer, softer, or slightly warped, with minor changes to the shape. Clean only with a soft, dry, and clean cloth, and never use solvents or alcohol-based liquids. The tote comes in a single size, so there is nothing to select when ordering.
