amuco Rattan Bamboo Market Bag - Handcrafted pieces found in Thailand that blend seamlessly into everyday life
The "amuco" series of handmade baskets, discovered in Thailand, is recommended for those who would like to incorporate everyday items that connect them to somewhere in the world into their lives.
Not only can it be used easily for storage or when going out, but incorporating one into your daily life will bring a touch of exoticism and make you feel as if the world has suddenly expanded. Such small changes will bring a comfortable space into your daily life.
Thailand, where we purchased our products, is located in Southeast Asia and is a country with a rich natural environment and a long history. It is rich in tropical natural materials, and rattan and bamboo have long been used in a wide range of household items, furniture, bags, and other handicrafts. Their lightweight and durable bags are popular for shopping and outings.
It can be used as both a storage bag and a bag, making it a reliable two-way item. It can also be used as an accent in your room.
The "Rattan Bamboo Market Bag" is a warm, one-of-a-kind item carefully woven by local artisans. It is a basket bag made from a combination of lightweight and durable rattan and bamboo, taking advantage of the natural texture of the materials.
As the name suggests, it is a market bag that can be used for shopping, but because it is tall, it can also be used to store plastic bottles and other stock items, or to roughly organize miscellaneous everyday items and subtly lighten the look of your everyday life.
The handle makes it easy to lift even when stored in a narrow space, making it a user-friendly design. This bag, which is embodied in handcraftsmanship rooted in everyday life, will gently accompany you in your daily life.
If you put dried flowers or branches in it and decorate it, it will add a gentle accent to your room's interior. It is recommended to use it not only as a display storage but also as a display piece.
Available in 3 sizes for various uses
The small size is just right for a quick outing.
It can neatly store everyday items such as water bottles and hand towels. If you are concerned about the contents being visible, you can layer it with a drawstring bag to create a stylish outing bag.
The medium size is a convenient size that can hold a lunch box or blanket.
It's perfect for picnics, but it's also recommended for use as a display storage solution in your room. Its versatile size makes it useful for a variety of everyday life.
The L size is a reliable, large-capacity type that can hold a lot of things.
Its breathable design makes it perfect for storing vegetables and fruits. It can also be used as a market bag or for outdoor activities such as leisure and camping.
A piece that breathes delicate weaving and structural beauty, and is close to your everyday life
The sides of the body are decorated with a hexagonal openwork pattern created using the traditional "kikko-ami" technique, also seen in Japanese bamboo crafts, resulting in a lightweight and breathable finish. Combined with the three-dimensional form, this creates a natural and soft impression.
The bottom is made of a lattice weave of crossed bamboo, which gives it both flexibility and strength. The four corners are reinforced with a three-dimensional cross weave, so you can use it with confidence even when carrying heavy items. The cute, slightly raised legs add a touch of individuality to the bag's appearance when placed down.
The edges and handles are tightly sewn for easy grip and durability. The smooth texture is pleasant to the touch, and by caring for it in a well-ventilated place, the texture will deepen, making it an appealing item that you can grow into your own personal tool.
*Please be careful when putting cloth items in the bag as they may get caught on the fibers.
