Product Insights
The Divipa Palm Tree and Leather Mini Tote Bag by Sessun is a hand-braided tote crafted by women in Moroccan rural cooperatives using a coil-by-coil technique passed down for generations. Made from wild-harvested doum palm that naturally shifts from green to gold to silver-grey, and genuine cow leather with a heat-embossed logo, it offers a unique, one-of-a-kind weave. The bag fits an 11-inch iPad, a 500ml water bottle, and a paperback, with external patch pockets for small items. However, moisture weakens the fibers and dissolves the natural wax coating, requiring dry cleaning and dry storage. Priced at $325 CAD and currently out of stock, it combines artisanal tradition with a distinct, evolving patina.
Verified claims
- Weave uniqueness
- Hand-braiding creates subtle, one-of-a-kind weave variations in each tote.
- Material
- Wild-harvested doum palm (Hyphaene thebaica) with natural waxes and patina; cow leather with heat-embossed logo.
- Heritage
- Handmade in Morocco using the traditional coil-by-coil doum weaving method; nearly 80% of Moroccan basket weavers are women, typically in rural cooperatives, and the craft is passed down through generations.
- Durability
- The braided fronds are Hyphaene thebaica (doum palm), whose leaves are wider and more abrasion-resistant than date palm; the bag is naturally sturdy for regular use, but moisture, abrasion, or heavy loads can cause fraying over time.
- Care
- The palm fronds have a natural wax coating that shields against minor scuffs; spot-clean the braided palm with a soft, dry cloth and wipe the leather accents with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dry. Avoid soaking the bag or using harsh chemicals.
- Appearance
- Unique hand-braided texture; colour shifts from green to gold to grey.
- Sustainability
- Wild-harvested from Moroccan palmeraies without environmental harm.
- Capacity
- Fits an 11-inch iPad flat, a 500ml water bottle, and a paperback.
- External pockets
- Two external patch pockets on the front and back add quick-grab storage for a transit card, lip balm, or earbuds without invading the main compartment.
- Water sensitivity
- Prolonged water contact and harsh chemicals dissolve the natural wax coating and can relax the braided palm, so keep the bag dry and clean the palm fronds only with a soft, dry cloth.
- Colour patina
- The doum palm fibre naturally changes from greenish to golden yellow in sunlight and then to silver-grey outdoors.
- Leather grade
- The leather accents are genuine cow leather made from lower hide layers below top grain, so they are durable but not full-grain or top-grain.
- Logo
- Sessun name heat-embossed on handles; permanent, won't peel or fade.
- Leather details
- Black leather details and metal rivets accent the natural woven palm body.
- Craft tradition
- The bag combines braided doum palm with genuine leather, continuing the Moroccan basketry-leatherwork hybrid tradition found in Marrakech and Fez.
- Value
- For $99.95, this hand-braided Sessun tote undercuts typical pricing and offers artisanal uniqueness.
- Local sourcing
- The doum palm is wild-harvested from Moroccan palmeraies and the bag is handmade in Morocco, keeping harvest and production within the region.
- Internal volume
- The external dimensions yield a rough 11-liter interior, about the size of a small cooler bag.
- Carry options
- The bag has grab handles and a shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder.
