# Small Woven Leather Basket Bag for Women | Handmade Cowhide Tote with Crossbody Strap ## Small Woven Leather Basket Bag – Handmade Top-Grain Cowhide Tote with Crossbody Strap This small woven leather basket bag is hand-braided from genuine top-grain (top-layer) cowhide leather in a soft herringbone weave, giving every bag a slightly one-of-a-kind texture. Structured like a mini market basket but sized for everyday carry, it comes with dual braided top handles for hand-carry and a long strap for wearing crossbody or on the shoulder. Available in six pastel and bold colourways — Red, Sky Blue, Ivory, Sage Green, Blush Pink and Lilac — it's a lightweight, versatile bag for warm-weather outfits, holidays, or as a colourful everyday tote. ### ► Why You'll Love It - Hand-woven from genuine top-grain cowhide leather — durable, lightweight, and softens beautifully with wear - Compact basket silhouette that still fits daily essentials: phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a water bottle - Two ways to wear it — carry by the braided top handles or wear hands-free on the included crossbody strap - Comes with a free removable white cotton lining pouch so you can use the woven leather shell open, unlined, or fully lined - Available in 6 colours, from soft neutrals (Ivory) to pastels (Sky Blue, Sage Green, Blush Pink, Lilac) and a bold Red ### ► Key Specifications - **Material:** Genuine top-grain cowhide leather, hand-braided - **Bag opening width:** 26 cm / 10.2 in - **Bag base width:** 22 cm / 8.7 in - **Depth:** 9 cm / 3.5 in - **Height:** 16 cm / 6.3 in - **Strap length (crossbody):** 100 cm / 39.4 in - **Handles:** Dual braided leather top handles - **Closure:** Open-top basket style, secured by the included lining pouch's drawstring - **Colours:** Red, Sky Blue, Ivory, Sage Green, Blush Pink, Lilac (6 colourways) - **Includes:** Free removable white cotton lining pouch with an inner zip pocket ### ► Handcrafted Leather Weave Each panel of this bag is woven by hand from long strips of top-grain cowhide leather in a classic herringbone braid, then finished with a whipstitched edge along the rim and base. Because the leather is woven rather than cut-and-sewn from a single panel, the bag keeps its shape while still feeling soft and flexible, and small variations in the weave are part of the handmade character of the piece — no two bags are perfectly identical. ### ► How to Style It - **Beach and resort:** Pair a bright colourway like Red or Sky Blue with a linen dress or swimwear cover-up - **Everyday casual:** Carry Ivory or Sage Green with jeans and a simple top for an easy neutral look - **Hands-free days:** Clip on the long strap and wear it crossbody over a maxi dress or kaftan - **Gifting:** The compact size and soft pastel shades (Blush Pink, Lilac) make it a popular gift for birthdays or Mother's Day ### ► What's Included Every bag ships with a free white cotton lining pouch featuring a drawstring closure and a zippered interior pocket. Slot it inside the woven leather shell to keep small items contained and add a layer of structure, or remove it entirely for a more relaxed, open-weave basket look. ### ► Care Instructions - Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth; avoid soaking the leather in water - Use a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the weave supple - Store stuffed with tissue paper or a soft cloth to help the bag hold its shape when not in use - Keep out of direct sunlight and away from prolonged damp conditions to preserve the leather's colour ### ► Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Is this bag made from real leather?** A: Yes.
