The utilization of natural materials and agricultural by-products to create added value and support environmentally friendly production has gained widespread attention. This study analyzes the design and production process of a Dried Corn Husk Handwoven Bag using an innovative color from Malabar Spinach, and evaluates consumer satisfaction in Mueang District, Surin Province. This mixed-methods study, combining action research and a survey of 408 purposive participants, utilized questionnaires, expert evaluations, and statistical analysis. Findings show experts selected the “Chang Surin” pattern for its strong local identity. The Boston bag shape was deemed most appropriate for its strength, flexibility, and modern style. An optimal dyeing formula 1,000 gram Malabar Spinach fruit to 3,000 ml water), combined with pre-soaking the husks in lime water, yielded a deep, durable color with enhanced absorption and fastness. Consumer satisfaction was exceptionally high (4.30 ± 0.69). driven by knowledge transferability, material safety, and market potential. Economically, this research provides a viable model for transforming agricultural waste into commercially marketable products, offering a clear pathway for community income generation. Socially, it promotes cultural heritage through contemporary design and transfers sustainable, eco-friendly knowledge to the local community.
