Bamboo Handles for Crochet Bags
Quick overview: Bamboo handles for bags — crochet and handmade: lightweight, sturdy and with a natural look. Circular, arched and rod shapes — in natural light or carbonised dark finish. Sold in pairs, from €5.90. For all available materials see the handles parent category.
Bamboo bag handles are what gives a handmade bag its summer soul: the natural texture, the warm colour, the lightness that won't weigh down even the largest bags. Each handle is unique — bamboo is a natural material and the small differences in grain and tone between one piece and another are not defects but the material's signature.
Tessiland offers bamboo handles for crochet bags in two finishes — natural light and carbonised dark — and several shapes: circular, classic arched, with horizontal rod, and with metal rings. All sold in pairs, all compatible with crochet, knitted, and fabric bags.

How to Attach Bamboo Handles to Your Bag
The method depends on the model:
Handles with rod (arched, with horizontal rod): unscrew the rod, slide the fabric edge between the arch and the rod, screw it back. The fabric stays locked by pressure — no stitching.
Handles with rings (carbonised with rings, Bridge): clip the rings onto bridges or carabiners sewn onto the bag. The handle stays detachable.
Circular and oval handles: wrap the fabric around the handle with a round of single crochet or secure with cord. The circular handle becomes part of the bag structure — impossible to detach, but rock-solid.

BUYING GUIDE: bamboo handles
Two questions to choose the right handle.
1. What finish?
- Natural light: bamboo in its original colour — summer look, pairs with raffia, cotton, jute
- Carbonised dark: heat treatment that darkens the bamboo — bolder look, pairs with rich colours and winter bags
2. What shape?
- Circular (15 cm): full ring — the handle becomes part of the bag. For ethnic-natural crochet bags
- Arched with rod (12.5–15 cm): arch with unscrewable rod — the fabric slides onto the rod. The most practical system for medium bags
- Oval (12 cm): compact shape for small bags and clutches
- With rings (14×10 cm): clip on with hardware — the handle stays detachable
- Bridge (17 cm): compact with hooks — for structured handbags
Frequently asked questions
How do you make a crochet bag with bamboo handles?
Crochet the bag leaving the top opening to match the chosen handle size. For handles with rod: unscrew the rod, slide the fabric edge on, and screw back. For circular handles: crochet a round of single crochet directly around the handle on the last round. For handles with rings: sew bridges or loops onto the bag edge and clip the rings on.
Are all bamboo handles identical?
No, and that's a feature, not a flaw. Bamboo is a natural material: from one handle to the next there can be small differences in grain, tone, and shape. These variations make each pair unique — and match perfectly with the artisan character of a handmade bag.
