Martha's Handcrafted Bohemian Crochet Bag
Handcrafted in Charleston · Final Batch
Martha's Handcrafted Bohemian Crochet Bag
An open-weave shoulder hobo bag with a hand-turned wooden bead handle — light as air, roomy as a tote, and elegant enough to get stopped on the street.
Some bags are made in a factory by the thousand. This one is worked by hand, one row at a time, by a woman who has made the same bag for nearly forty years. The result is a soft, breathable crochet shoulder bag that swallows everything you need for the beach, the market, or a weekend away — yet weighs almost nothing and springs right back to its graceful hobo shape.
"I've made these bags since 1984. My rule has never changed: light on the shoulder, roomy on the inside, and pretty enough that a stranger stops to ask about it. This is one of the last I'll ever make."
— Martha Caldwell, Charleston, SC
Why Women Keep Reaching For It
Weighs Almost Nothing
The open crochet weave means the bag is feather-light empty — no heavy leather pulling on your shoulder before you've packed a thing.
Stretches To Fit It All
Beach towel, paperback, sunscreen, sandals — it expands to hold the day, then settles back into a tidy hobo shape.
Wooden Bead Handle
A sculpted row of smooth, hand-turned wooden beads rests on the shoulder and stays put — no digging, no sliding.
Fully Lined Inside
A hand-sewn beige cotton lining keeps keys, phone, and lipstick safe — and shakes the sand right out.
Made For Real Life
This isn't a bag for a glass display case. It's made to be carried — to the farmers market on Saturday, down to the water on vacation, to a long lunch with friends. It dresses up a linen dress and dresses down a swimsuit cover-up with equal ease.

Message from the Artist:
After years of making things by hand, our workshop is closing. These are the last pieces we'll ever ship. Every item on this page was made slowly, carefully, and with more love than any factory could replicate. Nothing rushed. Nothing outsourced. Just real craft from real hands.
We're proud of every single one. We hope they find good homes.
When they're gone, they're gone — and so are we.

What Marta’s customers are saying
Took it on a four-day road trip through the mountains and it never left my side. It held my sunglasses, two books, and my water bottle without ever feeling heavy. The wooden beads are so smooth on the shoulder — I'm obsessed.

I travel two weeks a month and this is the only bag I pack now. It folds flat in my carry-on, then looks elegant the second I pull it out. I've been stopped on the street twice already by women asking where I got it.

Diane Russo
Tossed mine on the boardwalk and at outdoor cafés all summer and it still looks beautiful. The lining keeps everything from falling through the weave, and it shakes clean in seconds. It feels handmade and special, not mass-produced.

Bought one in beige and now I want one in every season. It's casual enough for the market but pretty enough for dinner out. The wooden handle stays right on my shoulder instead of sliding off like my other bags.
