Striped jute bag

The background and history of this striped jute bag are unknown, but the letter 'm' on the front makes one wonder if it could be a Marimekko product. The colours and style suggest the 80s or 90s. In any case, the bag is in unused condition, and the plastic-lined interior makes it an excellent summer bag. The carrying handles are rattan.

This retro-inspired bag is suitable for light shopping trips, beach outings, and weekend getaways.
