No more weight worries! Introducing the lightweight and durable sisal basket bag
Introducing sisal basket bags
Sisal basket bags are something you'll often see around town these days.
In this article, we will explain the differences between this material and other materials and its characteristics .
Sisal basket bag material
As the name suggests, the material used in sisal basket bags is sisal, a plant that is common in Kenya, on the African continent.

It is a very strong and long-lasting material that is used for ropes, harnesses, fishing ropes, sheets, etc. It is also called sisal hemp because its texture is similar to hemp.
It's very sturdy, so you can put heavy items in it .
It's no problem to put heavy groceries (about 5 milk cartons) in the bag when you go shopping at the supermarket. Also, most laptops weigh less than 2 kg, so it's no problem to put that in the bag.
Because it is durable , it can generally be used for more than three years, making it very cost-effective .
The bag is also easy to access, so you can take things in and out without stress.
Colorful sisal basket bags that can be enjoyed all year round, not just in summer.
Because it is a bag made of natural materials, it is perfect for the seasons of fresh greenery and midsummer.
It gives off a refreshing and cool feeling. 
Sisal basket bags can also be used in autumn and winter. 
There are also knitted materials made with sisal, and bags in autumn/winter tones that go well with clothes.
Are sisal bags itchy and unsuitable for people with atopic dermatitis?
Sisal is a strong fiber that is similar to hemp and has a rough texture.
However, the more you use it, the softer it becomes, and the smoother the surface becomes. This change is one of the joys of sisal bags.
Our sisal basket bags have woven handles that are designed to be comfortable and not cause any pain, so you can use them with confidence right from the moment you purchase them.
I'm sure there are some people who still think, "I'm still not very good at it..."
In such cases , we recommend using common hand creams such as Vaseline or Nivea Cream .
If you apply a little more to the handle, the cream will blend in and become smooth. Personally, I recommend the unscented type, as the scent lingers.
But will the color fade?
It's fine even in light rain. We use dyes that are resistant to fading.
Of course, please be aware that any product may lose its color if it gets soaked.
If it gets wet, please dry it in the shade.
