What Sets the Menali Apart

Raw, non-coated finish: Most jute bags in the market are coated with a laminate or resin that smooths the surface for printing and water resistance. The Menali skips the coating entirely, which preserves the natural jute texture — the coarse weave, the fiber variations, the earthy color — that customers associate with artisanal, farm-fresh, and environmentally conscious products. This unprocessed quality is the Menali’s defining characteristic.

Largest jute tote in the catalog: At 17.5″ x 17″ x 3″, the Menali is wider and taller than any other jute bag we carry. It holds a full farmers market haul, a large grocery load, beach gear, books, or bulky retail purchases. The oversized dimensions also create a large visible surface area — your logo is displayed on a bigger canvas than smaller jute totes can offer.

50-unit minimum — the lowest in the jute line: Most jute bags in our catalog require 60-200 units. The Menali’s 50-unit minimum makes it the most accessible jute bag for small businesses, local organizations, boutique retailers, and first-time buyers testing jute as a material.

Cotton web handles with accent stripe: The natural cotton handles with contrasting black stripe are both a design element and a structural feature. The stripe creates visual contrast against the raw jute body, and the full-length handle construction — running from the top edge to the bottom of the bag — distributes weight across the entire bag height rather than concentrating it at the top seam. This matters when the bag is loaded with heavy produce, bottles, or books.

100% natural and biodegradable: Jute is a vegetable fiber grown with minimal water and no pesticides. The Menali’s raw, uncoated construction means the entire bag — body, handles, and stitching — is biodegradable and compostable at end of life. For businesses making environmental claims, raw jute is the cleanest story available: no synthetic coatings, no plastic components, no processing chemicals.
