Handwoven Jute Market Tote

West Bengal

A roomy tote in natural jute, the fibre that grows along Bengal's rivers and has carried this region's grain and produce for as long as anyone remembers. The weave is coarse, honest and strong; it smells faintly of dry grass when new. Flat base, wide mouth, no plastic anywhere. Made to be filled at the sabzi mandi weekly.

The hands
The handles are braided from jute rope by hand and stitched through the body twice, because a market bag lives or dies at its handles.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
