Bag or capacha (Spain)

Capacha (bag) made with interwoven palmettos, used by men and women in the country to carry food or small objects they needed in the fields when working. Nowadays the very same bags can be found in fashionable boutiques in Madrid and other big cities where they are sold as a return to nature.
