Woven Raffia Leather Drawstring Crossbody Tan Orange | Marley by Owen Barry

The Marley drawstring bag is a great lightweight summer addition to your wardrobe.

It is shown here in a soft Orange leather and cotton raffia weave. Very on trend with the natural weave look, it is a perfect summer travelling companion, whether lying on the beach or bringing a bit of sunshine to your everyday life.

The leather and cotton raffia are carefully handwoven.

It is both natural and very strong; unlike some raffia bags that can soon "break down" with regular use, the weft has a high count of leather strips, ensuring structure and strength, so you can be sure it won't let you down.

The weave, while open, is not flimsy but certainly airy enough for a damp swimming kit, sarong, etc., to be carried without fear of damage or mould build-up. Always leave it to dry out in a warm, airy place. Please do not put it away wet.

The long jute rope handle is produced in Somerset by specialists who have been twisting rope for nearly 65 years! - they are the UK's leading supplier of industrial "rope" ladders and bridges, so rest assured, your valuables aren't going to end up on the deck!

Talking of valuables, there is a very generous large suspended zipper pocket, ideal for phones, keys, passports, and other things that you wish to keep secure. This sunken zipper purse is attached on both sides, so there is no chance of theft when you are walking through a crowded bazaar or on the tube = clever.

Closure through Antique Brass eyelets: the jute rope strap can be shortened simply by tying it off. The positioning of the eyelets allows you to use it as either a double-strap shoulder bag or a full-length crossbody.
