Summer to take with you — woven from homegrown Thai sisal

MELON CRUSH BAGS, THAILAND

 

Our Melon Crush Bags embody everything SoRarePieces stands for: radiant colors, traditional craftsmanship, and meaningful connections.

 

Family tradition from Thailand

 

Each bag is handmade by Sunee and Pueng — mother and daughter — who run their small workshop in a village west of Bangkok.

 

Woven from homegrown sisal

 

The bags are crafted from sisal, a resilient natural fiber that thrives in Thailand. The fibers are harvested by local women, washed and combed by hand, dried in the sun, and then dyed by Sunee and Pueng in bright, joyful colors.

 

A contribution to local craft culture

 

Every bag is a small piece of art — and a quiet contribution to preserving rural craftsmanship. Purchasing a Melon Crush Bag supports not only Sunee and Pueng’s family workshop, but also the women and communities involved in growing and processing the raw materials. It’s a circle that goes beyond consumption.

 

Colors with personal meaning

 

“We enjoy working with you,” says Pueng. And honestly — we’re a little in love with their work, too. Each color carries its own story. Red, for instance, is Pueng’s favorite — bold, confident, full of life. No wonder the vibrant “watermelon” design is one of her personal favorites.


And did you know that “Pueng” means “bee” in Thai? A sunny yellow, of course, is part of every collection.

 

A summer accessory with a story

 

Whether as a playful summer companion or a cheerful pop of color on the go — our Melon Crush Bags carry the warmth of Thai sunshine. And a story that stays with you. Explore our bags in the shop. And read more in our Journal.
