Handheld Cylindrical Bag - Small / Bucket Bag / Sedge Weave

The cylindrical base of this bag is formed using the traditional "four-corner base" technique, also common in weaving hats and cushions. The most challenging aspect of creating a circular base lies in the continuous addition of material during the weaving process to ensure the circle expands evenly. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550584210_27459d73bf_b.jpg The integrated technique used for the bag's body and its transitions demands not only the artisan's weaving expertise but also years of experience to master the subtle shifts in detail, achieving a harmonious balance of curves and proportions. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550584200_5e37915b11_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550110601_51e2972a60_b.jpg The dark-colored lining is practical, as it doesn't easily show dirt. A reinforced base inside prevents the bag from deforming under the weight of its contents. The drawstring closure lends the bag a cute, Japanese-inspired style, making it perfect for casual outfits. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51807980797_82b1b28beb_b.jpg **▸ Specifications & Materials ◂** Dimensions: Base diameter 18cm, Height 15cm, Handle total length 45cm (suitable for hand-carrying).

Keep Dry: Please keep the product dry and avoid storing it in damp spaces or boxes for extended periods. If the item will not be used for a while, ensure it is dry before storing it in a sealed bag. 2. Sunbathe Occasionally: Exposing sedge products to sunlight enhances their natural aroma. When the scent fades, it's time for another sunbath! 3. Wipe Clean, Do Not Soak: To clean, use a damp cloth. A mild neutral detergent can also be used for wiping. Never submerge the item in water. 4. Brush Away Mildew: If the item encounters moisture and develops mildew, gently brush it away with a soft bristle brush. Then, wipe with a damp cloth and finally, expose it to sunlight to thoroughly remove any remaining moisture. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48732564717_bf6e5b2b69_b.jpg **▸ Purchase Notes ◂** 1. The small cylindrical bag has a weight capacity of approximately 1.5kg. Prolonged carrying of items exceeding this weight will shorten the product's lifespan. 2. As each item is purely handmade, slight variations in color and weave are normal and do not constitute significant defects. Returns or exchanges will not be accepted for such minor differences. 3. Sedge is a natural material. Please carefully follow the care instructions. We cannot accept returns or exchanges for damage or mildew caused by improper personal use or storage. 4. Due to the entirely handmade nature of the weaving, pre-orders require approximately 14 days for production (excluding weekends). If you cannot wait for the production time, please do not place an order. For items in stock, preparation takes 3 business days. (For urgent orders, please contact the designer directly to inquire about availability). 5. For environmental sustainability, plastic bags are only used when weather conditions are unfavorable, ensuring the integrity of the sedge-woven product.
