FAQs

Will a tablet or a small book fit?

At 14 inches across, yes — this is the size to choose if you want more than a phone and a wallet inside.

Is it heavier than the smaller purses?

Barely. Kauna reed weighs very little, so the large size stays light even when it is the roomiest option.

What happens if it gets caught in rain?

Blot it dry and let it air out flat. Reed weakens if it is left damp, so drying it promptly matters.

Which size do most people buy?

The medium at 12 inches is the middle ground; choose large for capacity and small for a compact everyday purse.
