I love the first HM one that you posted - although not tan - blue is tops in my fave colours. Sadly they don't have online and there isn't an HM here.<br />I will check out the amazon store as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-946536 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 22:45:35 +0000 Kristin L 946536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you checked out Straw Studios? I saw these on Amazon and I've seen a few in person at TJ Maxx. The ones I saw&nbsp;seemed pretty well made. I'm not sure of Amazon's shipping policies to Canada, though.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Straw-Studios/e/2210573011">http://www.amazon.com/Straw-Studios/e/2210573011</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-946506 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 21:26:44 +0000 jurocha 946506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HM has a model in white or navy blue: <a href="http://m.hm.com/at/product/08695?article=08695-B#mediaType=STILL_LIFE_FRONT" rel="nofollow">http://m.hm.com/at/product/086.....LIFE_FRONT</a></p> <p>Ah, and there's also a striped one... not that "original straw" (cream colored)... but it's funky: <a href="http://m.hm.com/at/product/09823?article=09823-A#mediaType=STILL_LIFE_FRONT" rel="nofollow">http://m.hm.com/at/product/098.....LIFE_FRONT</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-946467 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:18:19 +0000 Beth 946467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I feel your pain too. In the US, the most likely places to find straw bags &nbsp;in the last few seasons were in discount retailers like Marshall's and TJMaxx, oddly.</p> <p>Mar Y Sol is a brand with a few interesting things. Might be worth checking to see if they ship to Canada or have retailers there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-946047 Fri, 31 May 2013 20:08:14 +0000 Glory 946047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz you are exactly right. The one I had from Wally had hot pink and white polka dots inside and had orange and fusia straps - I know you are swooning now. It was so inexpensive - in hindsight I should have purchased a few.<br />I did keep the crochet one for now but my heart is in the straw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-946041 Fri, 31 May 2013 20:00:15 +0000 Suz 946041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I feel your pain. I had a straw bag a few years ago that I adored. It wasn't really straw, I guess -- I'm not sure what it was, exactly, but it looked like straw. Only I got ink on it, eventually. I was so sad....I replaced with a crochet bag and never liked that even remotely as well, and since gave up!</p> <p>But I will keep my eyes open for you and with you. Surely there is something out there. I would like exactly what you would like -- not a big tote, but a decent size.&nbsp;</p> <p>I never really understood why I liked straw bags so much before. But since YLF, I get it. Not only are they light and neutral and summery, but for blondes they are "bookending" and provide unity and coherence to any outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>In other words, we both deserve this fabled bag!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945906 Fri, 31 May 2013 17:02:25 +0000 celia 945906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen any around this year. Will let you know if I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945812 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:49:28 +0000 Glory 945812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ladies. I saw some on ebay from Brighton that are super cute - thanks for the heads up on the scratching. Maybe that is why there is so much crochet?&nbsp;<br />My beloved was actually from walmart and I had it for over 10 years.&nbsp;<br />I am trying to find something that doesn't require cross border shipping - always a challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945806 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:44:39 +0000 KikiG 945806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a warning.</p> <p>I have the world's most perfectly adorable straw bag. Actually, it is made of corn husks. Love it. I have had it for several seasons, and have taken great care of it. It is Brighton. </p> <p>But.</p> <p>It has scratched/picked some of my clothing, and I am now only using it sometimes, and with certain things because of this. I have another, smaller, cross body bag I've been using instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945802 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:38:23 +0000 Carole 945802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't spotted any this year, I purchased the straw tote from JCrew last year, but it is super casual and more like a beach bag. I will keep my eyes open and give a shout out if I see something. I'm like you, I prefer the sturdier straw version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945799 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:33:47 +0000 Liz A. 945799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Sak options are super cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945797 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:31:45 +0000 texstyle 945797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, ebags has some straw bag options. I'm not sure exactly what style you are looking for but I just searched for "straw" and came up with several&nbsp; there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-needed-straw-bag#post-945786 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:18:38 +0000 Glory 945786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My beloved&nbsp;straw handbag died last summer and I tossed it. Never did I think a replacement would be so difficult. I want a very simple smallish tote (not beach bag) in a tan straw. Has anyone got any suggestions - in Canada?&nbsp;<br />Honestly I have searched high and low. I did find 2 crochet tan ones from The Sak - included pics to show,<br />&nbsp;but still prefer straw. </p>
