Our Favourite Carry-All for Slower Days

Sometimes the most unassuming pieces become the ones we reach for the most.

The French market bag is one of those. Lightweight, open weave and reliably useful, it’s a staple of slow living — perfect for market mornings, beach days or carrying the day’s essentials with ease.

A market bag with roots

Inspired by the classic baskets used in French street markets, each bag is handwoven in Morocco using traditional techniques. The strong palm leaf body and sturdy double leather handles make it a practical everyday option while adding a simple charm to your errands.

Why we reach for it

  • Expands to carry more than you’d expect

  • Lightweight and durable

  • Double leather handles for easy carrying

  • Packs flat when you’re not using it

 

It’s not a seasonal trend. It’s a timeless tool for daily life, made slowly and thoughtfully.

Each bag helps sustain Moroccan artisans and traditional craft techniques. It’s a practical piece with purpose.
