Moni plaiting Bahamian straw by hand

Our signature pieces embody timeless island luxury, designed to carry paradise with you.

Made By Moni is a luxury Bahamian brand rooted in heritage, craftsmanship and modern elegance. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in The Bahamas using time-honoured straw craft techniques passed down through generations of Bahamian artisans since the 1700s.

Straw plaiting is one of The Bahamas' oldest cultural industries, historically providing livelihood, independence and opportunity for generations of Bahamian women. Most notably, the world-famous Straw Market became an important economic backbone for Bahamian families long before tourism as we know it today.

We are proud to honour this legacy while giving it a fresh, modern expression.

Our mission is to elevate traditional Bahamian straw craft into refined, contemporary designs created for today's discerning customer. Our collections blend authentic handwoven straw, sisal and hand-dyed plaits with elevated finishes, creating timeless pieces that feel both culturally significant, luxurious and made to last. Because of the handcrafted nature of our work, no two pieces are exactly alike, making each Made By Moni creation a true piece of wearable Bahamian art.

We believe today's customer values authenticity, storytelling and sustainability, and Made By Moni delivers all three: exceptional craftsmanship, a meaningful story, and pieces that are both useful and beautiful. Our brand resonates with clients seeking luxury with heart: pieces that celebrate our uniquely Bahamian culture, support our local artisans, and stand apart from generic mass-produced accessories.
