The Josie Knot Small Raffia Bag

Soak up the beauty of slow fashion with Poolside’s exquisite handwoven bags. Founded by Ashleigh Stone in 2016, Poolside began as a beach bag brand but soon blossomed to offer collections of handbags for breezy, everyday styling. The brand showcases the sublime skills of female artisans from India, Spain, Morocco, and the Philippines, who handcraft the bags using traditional techniques in a Fair Trade relationship that promotes financial independence. Most Poolside bags take over a week to produce, offering a deep connection between artisan and wearer.
