feel at home again
We create timeless, handwoven pieces from natural fibers — raffia, rattan, wheat straw — designed to outlast trends and reconnect everyday life with something quieter and more intentional. Every piece we sell supports a real artisan family.
A slower, sunnier
way of living
We believe the world doesn't need more things — it needs better things. Our vision is a home and wardrobe filled with objects that carry stories, age gracefully, and bring warmth into every room they enter.
Born from a quiet moment in rural China
It started in a sun-drenched market in Shandong. Our founder, walking between rows of hand-dyed raffia and intricately woven baskets, watched an elderly artisan finish a rattan lid in under four minutes — without looking down once. That precision, built over decades, stopped him in his tracks.
Back in the city, surrounded by fast fashion and mass-produced everything, that memory wouldn't leave. He kept thinking: why are we letting these skills disappear? Why isn't the world paying attention?
Solace & Straw is the answer he built — a brand rooted in the belief that a handwoven bag or a rattan basket isn't just a product. It's a small act of resistance against the disposable.
Three things we'll never compromise on
Genuinely Handcrafted
No machines, no shortcuts. Every hat, bag, and basket is woven by hand — slight variations included. We think that's the point. It's proof of a human touch.
Naturally Sourced
Raffia, rattan, seagrass, wheat straw — materials that grow back, biodegrade, and don't sit in landfills. Beautiful and biodegradable, always.
Artisan-First
We work directly with weaving communities in Shandong, Yunnan, and southern China — fair wages, long-term relationships, genuine respect for generations of skill.
What goes into every piece
We use a range of natural and plant-based fibers — each chosen for how it feels, wears, and holds up over time.
- Natural Rattan — used in baskets and structured bags. Harvested from palm-family vines, lasts 8–15 years.
- Raffia Palm Fiber — the hero of our hat and bag range. Lightweight, breathable, naturally water-resistant.
- Paper & Cellulose Straw — plant-based fiber used in our colourful bags and hats. Lighter than raffia, not plastic.
- Seagrass & Water Hyacinth — sustainably harvested aquatic plants. Fully biodegradable.
- A note on linings — some bags include a polyester inner lining for structure. We say so on every product page.

I didn't start Solace & Straw to disrupt fashion. I started it because I watched something beautiful slowly disappearing — and I couldn't just walk away.
