The Astoria — Handwoven Straw Vase & Wine Holder | Sonder & Holliday

A handwoven straw vase and wine holder with a braided leather handle — the body a tall, straight cylinder woven in a dense diagonal pattern in natural straw, the weave tight and even from the base to the rim. The rim is finished with a continuous wrapped edge in the same natural straw, the braided leather handle attached at the top — a thick, hand-braided loop of warm brown leather, wrapped and stitched at the attachment points with dark thread, the braiding visible in the close-up image.

The natural straw color is a warm, pale honey — the individual strands varying slightly in tone, the diagonal weave creating a subtle, organic texture across the full height of the cylinder. The leather handle is a warm, medium brown — the contrast between the pale straw and the dark braided leather the defining visual detail of the piece. At 11" tall and 4" in diameter, the Astoria is proportioned to hold a standard wine bottle or a generous bunch of dried flowers.

Sonder & Holliday — Handcrafted with Purpose

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

How It Improves Your Daily Life

The Astoria works as both a vase and a wine holder — two objects in one. As a vase, the tall narrow cylinder holds dried pampas grass, eucalyptus, dried wildflowers, or a single large stem upright and contained, the natural straw exterior complementing any dried botanical. As a wine holder, the cylinder holds a standard wine bottle securely, the leather handle making it easy to carry from kitchen to table to porch — a considered, artisan alternative to a plain wine bag or a bottle carrier.

The Astoria is beautiful enough to display permanently on a shelf, a table, or an entryway console when not in use — the tall cylindrical form and the braided leather handle making it a considered object in its own right.
