Meet the Elisa Medio Tote Bag —the debut piece in The Artisan Edit by Mel Boteri. Handwoven in Colombia by skilled artisans, this small straw tote is crafted from sustainably harvested Palma de Iraca, a renewable natural fiber native to the region. The result is a beautifully textured, incredibly durable, and seasonless piece you’ll reach for again and again.
Named after our founder’s mother and daughter—who share the middle name Elisa—this tote honors legacy, craftsmanship, and connection. Each bag takes several days to create using time-honored weaving techniques passed down through generations.
With its structured silhouette, top handles, and vibrant colorways, the Elisa is the perfect companion for weekend getaways, city escapes, and everything in between.
