The Mira Tote Bag

Présentation

Hand-Crocheted Raffia Totes

Crafted with purpose and designed for effortless summer living, the Mira raffia tote is hand-crocheted in Madagascar from natural locally sourced fibers. In choosing to work with a small-scale artisan partner, lemlem stays true to its founding mission — to create beautiful products that support responsible livelihoods, and encourage long-term community-centered growth.

Each handmade raffia tote bag reflects the time, care, and exceptional skill of the artisans who bring it to life. The intricate hand-crochet pattern is inspired by lemlem’s iconic Eshe design, reinterpreting the signature motif of our hand-woven collections in a new, textural form that connects past and present through craftsmanship.

Grown & Woven in Madagascar

Le raphia utilisé pour nos sacs provient de Madagascar et est sélectionné pour sa robustesse naturelle et sa beauté authentique. Chaque sac est crocheté à la main en partenariat avec un petit fournisseur qui travaille au sein d'une communauté d'artisans soudée, créant ainsi des emplois valorisants et préservant un savoir-faire ancestral.

The Iconic Eshe Design

The Eshe stripes are lemlem’s signature motif, celebrated for its timeless elegance and artisanal craftsmanship. Originally featured in our hand-woven collections, the design draws inspiration from traditional weaving techniques, creating a striking geometric texture that feels both modern and rooted in heritage.

Over the years, the Eshe pattern has become a hallmark of lemlem’s aesthetic, adding a distinctive, textural detail to each piece. It appears across ready to wear and swimwear collections, and now our new bags.
