Carry around the Nai Nao (蓮藕) Grocery Bag (comes with a long handle!) or stuff it into your pocket for your next trip to the market or walk in the park.
Naturally dyed with cutch, each Nai Nao Grocery Bag has slight variations in color. Its warm pinkish brown color reminds us of sliced lotus root floating in a big bowl of pork rib soup.
Lotus Root is pronounced as nai nao in Teochew.
