HandwovenMadagascar Diamond Tote: Geo Chic, Island Impact

Diamond Weave, Conservation Drive

Near Madagascar’s eastern wetlands, artisans harvest mahampy reeds, sun-dry the stalks, and braid them into chevron panels that meet to form a striking black-and-natural diamond pattern. Wide, vegetable-tanned leather handles are stitched on for comfortable over-shoulder carry, and a reinforced rim keeps the roomy interior standing tall.

Crafted to the perfect size for all your essentials, this tote complements an on-the-go lifestyle—pair it with a sundress at the farmers’ market and let the natural fibers add relaxed, rustic charm. Each sale funds Prosperity Wages and partners with the Missouri Botanical Garden, turning sustainable harvests into reliable income that protects fragile forests. When you carry the Diamond Tote, you showcase bold design, support conservation, and share the rich cultural story of its maker

From Market Runs to Design Moments

• Produce Powerhouse – Holds greens, baguettes, and jars; tight weave resists stretching, leather straps stay soft even when full.
• Beach & Picnic Buddy – Towels, sunscreen, and a novel fit easily; sand shakes out with a quick flick.
• Décor Accent – Off-season, stand it by an entry bench to store throws or magazines; the diamond graphic adds modern punch to any corner.

PRODUCT CARE

• Shape Refresh: Mist lightly with warm water, mold by hand, air-dry.
• Cleaning: Shake out crumbs; spot-clean mahampy with a damp cloth, avoid soaking leather.
• Sunlight: Rotate occasionally—extended direct sun may lighten straw and dyes.
• Leather: Condition handles with clear balm to maintain suppleness.

ARTISAN NOTES: Diamond scale, fiber tone, and leather shade differ by maker, so each tote is one of a kind. Prefer a bolder black or lighter straw? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll match you with the closest style.
