Island Stripes Tote

Island Stripes is the bag that inspired the mood of the collection — warm colour, relaxed days and that wonderful feeling of having nowhere you need to rush to. Golden yellow meets cool blue in a striped combination that feels like sunshine and sea.
Its generous square shape makes it an easy companion for everyday life, whether you're heading to the shops, packing a few extras for the day or wandering somewhere new. Relaxed, useful and full of character — exactly how an island bag should feel.

Every Sanae Kantha bag is lovingly handcrafted by skilled artisans using the traditional Kantha quilting technique, a time honoured craft that has been practised across India for generations.

Each bag begins with layers of soft 100% cotton fabric, which are carefully stitched together by hand using thousands of small running stitches. This painstaking process creates the beautiful quilted texture and strength that make every Kantha piece so distinctive. Because each bag is individually handmade, the stitching, pattern placement and fabric combinations will naturally vary, ensuring every Sanae bag is truly one of a kind.

By choosing a handcrafted Kantha bag, you're helping preserve traditional artisan skills while supporting the talented makers who continue this beautiful heritage.

No two bags are ever exactly alike, and we think that's exactly how handmade should be.

Crafted from 100% cotton, each Sanae Kantha bag is made using layers of soft cotton fabric that are hand-stitched together using the traditional Kantha quilting technique. This time honoured craft creates the beautiful texture, durability and character that make every piece unique.

As each bag is handmade, slight variations in stitching, pattern placement and colour are a natural part of its artisan charm.

To keep your Kantha bag looking its best:
Spot clean with a damp cloth where possible.
If a deeper clean is needed, gently hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
Do not bleach or soak for extended periods.
Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight.
Do not tumble dry.

With a little care, your handcrafted Kantha bag will soften beautifully over time while retaining its unique character.
