Ombre Woven Straw Basket Tote Bag

A proper market basket, woven from paper straw into a curved silhouette that stands up on its own. The dip-dyed finish melts one shade into another down the weave, with a pale zigzag band running through the middle for extra texture. Long rounded handles drop far enough to sit on the shoulder over a linen dress, and a slim tie at the opening pulls the top closed. It is roomy enough for a towel, a bottle of water and a paperback. Thirteen shades run from sun-bleached neutrals through tropical brights.
