Bast Shopper
Bast Shopper are spacious, lightweight, and hand-woven – ideal for the market, the beach, and relaxed everyday life when you need to fit everything in.
Straw Shopper for Beach, Market, and Everyday
A bast shopper is the relaxed all-rounder for summer: large enough for a beach towel, sunscreen, and a book, yet light enough to carry all day. Hand-woven from bast or raffia, it brings natural texture to any look and looks better than any plastic beach bag. At the farmers market, on vacation, or while strolling through the city, a bast shopper holds everything you need and remains airy. As a beach bag, it's a given.
Bast handbag and pouch bag: smaller formats
It doesn't always have to be a large shopper. A small raffia handbag holds a cell phone, wallet, and keys and is an elegant choice for summer evenings. Raffia hobo bags with leather handles can be worn hands-free over the shoulder and are versatile to combine. If you love natural materials in all forms, you will find the full range in our raffia and basket bags – from compact companions to spacious shoppers.
Colors and Handicrafts
Natural-colored raffia shoppers are a timeless classic, brown and rosé tones appear softer, while a black raffia shopper adds an urban touch and can be worn beyond summer. Striped models give the classic shape a modern twist. At ANOKHI, raffia shoppers are handcrafted from fine raffia with cleanly finished leather details – made for women who appreciate natural materials and quality. Those who prefer a firmer shape will find related handcrafted items from the same material focus in our basket bags and woven bags.
