# Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag Some bags you admire. This one you fall in love with the moment you hold it. Handwoven strip by strip from **genuine vegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide leather**, this soft, slouchy basket tote from Alexel Crafts is the kind of piece that photographers stop you for on the street — and only gets more beautiful with every season you carry it. Unlike rigid structured bags, this one is **deliberately unlined and unshaped** — the open weave and linerless construction keep it feather-light and effortlessly relaxed, slumping softly against your body whether you carry it by hand or tucked under your arm. The **hand-braided full-grain cowhide handle** is woven for durability — wear-resistant, load-bearing and strong enough to carry everything you need without fear of snapping. A removable **drawstring canvas inner pouch** keeps your phone, keys and cards secure inside the open basket body. The distinctive **loop-and-tab leather rim** — each individual loop hand-stitched through the top edge — is the finishing detail that separates this bag from every mass-produced imitation. It is both structural and decorative: holding the weave in place while giving the bag its signature frilled crown. ### ► Fits inside iPhone Plus (6.7"), iPad (10.9"), folding umbrella, power bank, cushion compact, keys, wallet and daily essentials. A 13" MacBook will not fit comfortably — this is a lifestyle and everyday bag, not a laptop carrier. ### ► Features - **Material:** Vegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide leather — matte, waxy finish that softens and deepens in colour with use - **Weave:** Diagonal herringbone hand-weave — natural cowhide fibres visible on the reverse, confirming genuine top-layer leather - **Handle:** Hand-braided full-grain cowhide — wear-resistant, load-bearing, will not snap - **Rim finish:** Individual hand-stitched leather loop-and-tab border around the entire top opening - **Interior:** No fixed lining (linerless construction for a lighter, softer bag) + removable drawstring canvas inner pouch for security - **Weight:** Approx. 400g  - **Carry styles:** Hand carry or underarm (no long crossbody strap) - **Colours:** Yellow/Mustard, Dusty Pink/Mauve, Red/Berry, Tan/Caramel - **Season:** Spring / Summer ### ► Dimensions: **Top opening:** 36cm **Base:** 16cm **Height:** 20cm  **Depth:** 9cm **Handle Drop:** 28cm ### ► Why you'll love this bag **Leather that lives and breathes** Vegetable-tanned cowhide is the most natural, eco-conscious leather process available. The finish starts matte and waxy, then gradually softens, deepens in tone and develops a one-of-a-kind patina that is entirely your own. **Impossibly light for genuine leather** At just 400g, the linerless open-weave construction strips out every gram of unnecessary weight. You get real leather, real craftsmanship — and a bag that never feels like a burden. **The relaxed silhouette is the point** Without a rigid base or structure, this bag drapes and slouches naturally against the body — giving that effortless, off-duty look that no stiff structured bag can replicate. **A handle built to last** The shoulder strap is hand-braided from the same full-grain cowhide as the body — wear-resistant, flexible and strong enough to carry a full day's worth of essentials without stretching or breaking. **Secure without being structured** The removable drawstring canvas inner pouch keeps your phone, cards and keys corralled inside the open basket body — so you get all the airy aesthetic with none of the anxiety. **Four colours, one timeless shape** Mustard yellow, dusty mauve, berry red and warm tan — each colour has its own personality, and the same organic leather weave makes every one look like a collectible piece rather than a seasonal accessory. ### ► A note on genuine leather Full-grain cowhide retains all the natural characteristics of the hide — including growth marks, blood vessel traces, insect bite marks, texture variation and minor surface scratches. These are **not defects**; they are proof that your bag is made from real, uncoated leather and not bonded or PU. As with all genuine leather, the bag will absorb liquids — avoid prolonged exposure to water, soy sauce or dye. A natural leather scent is present when new and will fade with airing. Condition with leather balm regularly; do not machine wash. ### ► Shipping Time Please allow us a period of 6-8 business days to craft your order. ## Details - **Price:** 218.0 AUD - **Vendor:** Alexel Crafts - **Type:** Women Bag - **Tags:** artisan leather bag, boho leather bag, braided leather handle bag, cowhide woven bag, drawstring bag insert, genuine leather basket bag, handcrafted leather tote, handwoven leather tote, leather market bag, mustard leather bag, open weave leather bag, pink woven bag, shell basket bag, Shevennie Studio, slouchy leather bag, spring summer bag, tan leather basket, underarm bag women, vegetable tanned leather bag, women's new arrival, women's shoulder bag, women's tote, women's woven bag, woven leather basket bag, woven leather tote ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Natural Brown | 218.00 AUD | In stock | | Butter Yellow | 218.00 AUD | In stock | | Grey | 218.00 AUD | In stock | | Mint Green | 218.00 AUD | In stock | | Lavender | 218.00 AUD | In stock | | Pomegranate Red | 218.00 AUD | In stock | ## Images - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag - Handwoven Vegetable-Tanned Leather Basket Bag for Women｜Full Grain Cowhide Woven Tote with Braided Handle & Drawstring Liner | Spring Summer Shoulder Bag --- > Source: [Alexel Crafts](https://www.alexelcrafts.com/products/handwoven-leather-shell-basket-tote-bag) > Updated: 2026-09-01
