The Petite Victoria — Handwoven Straw Basket Bag | Goatskin Handles | Sonder & Holliday

A handwoven straw basket bag with sustainably sourced goatskin handles — the body a compact, rounded form that widens from a narrow base into a full, open top, the sides woven in a dense, even horizontal weave in natural straw. The goatskin handles are a single arched loop attached at each side of the basket — the goatskin wrapped tightly around a rigid core, the surface smooth and warm to the touch, the ends of each handle wrapped with dark thread at the attachment points where the handle meets the basket rim.

Available in four styles — each a distinct colorway and weave pattern:

• Style No. 1 Natural — warm pale honey straw, even horizontal weave, natural goatskin handles wrapped with cream and dark thread
• Style No. 1 Noir — deep matte black straw, even horizontal weave, natural goatskin handles wrapped with dark thread; as shown in the lifestyle image, the Noir holds a generous bunch of red and pink roses — the deep black basket and the vivid flowers a dramatic contrast
• Style No. 4 Natural Dashed — warm pale honey straw with a subtle dashed texture in the weave, natural goatskin handles
• Style No. 4 Black Dashed — deep navy/black straw with a bold natural straw stripe band at the center, warm brown goatskin handles; the stripe band is a single wide horizontal band of natural straw color across the full circumference of the basket

Sonder & Holliday — Handcrafted with Purpose

Sonder & Holliday is a home accessories and lifestyle brand built around handcrafted, sustainably sourced natural materials. The Petite Victoria is made from sustainably sourced natural straw and goatskin — a zero-waste, artisan-made alternative to mass-produced bags. Each Petite Victoria is slightly unique from the handweaving process — the exact tone of the straw, the tightness of the weave, and the patina of the goatskin handles vary from piece to piece.

How It Improves Your Daily Life

The Petite Victoria is compact enough to be effortless — at 9" wide × 11" high, it holds a phone, a wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few extras without bulk. The goatskin handles are comfortable to carry by hand or over the wrist — the rigid arch of the handle keeping the bag open and accessible. The open top makes it easy to reach in and find what you need.

As shown in the beach lifestyle image, the Natural colorway is a natural companion for summer — the warm honey straw and the goatskin handles working with any summer outfit, from a linen dress to a swimsuit cover-up. The Noir colorway works year-round — the deep black straw giving the basket bag a more formal, editorial quality.

If the basket loses its shape from use, it can be reshaped with a little water — the natural straw returning to its original form as it dries.

How to Style It
