Hand Bag - Water Reed (Kauna Grass) - Medium

A medium handwoven handbag made from water reed, the grass known in Manipur as kauna. At 13 by 7 inches it takes a wallet, phone, sunglasses and a small water bottle, which makes it a practical daytime bag rather than a purely decorative one. Each bag is woven by hand by a woman artisan.

• Material: water reed (kauna grass)

Care Instructions

• Do not machine wash or soak. Wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it air dry.
• Dry it fully if it gets caught in rain — damp reed left packed away can develop mould.
• Store it stuffed with tissue or cloth so the woven body keeps its shape.

Good to Know

• Reed is a natural fibre; shade and weave tightness vary slightly from bag to bag.
• The weave has some give, so avoid overloading it with sharp or very heavy items.

FAQs

How much bigger is the medium than the small?

The medium is 13 x 7 inches against the small at 10 x 6 inches — noticeably more room across the width.

Does it have a lining or pockets?

No lining or pocket configuration is stated by the maker.

Can it be used in the monsoon?

It is not waterproof. Light rain is survivable if you dry it properly, but it is better kept for dry days.
