I haven't seen many straw bags I like but I do like some of the canvas styles that are still very summery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straw-totes-for-summer#post-595413 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:12:59 +0000 cheryl 595413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous bag but i can't imagine spending that kind of money. If you can afford it, it is beautiful but it is quite on the dressy side. </p> <p>Helen, thanks for the link, i love some of those Old Navy choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straw-totes-for-summer#post-595369 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:23:26 +0000 HelenInCanada 595369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of *experimenting* with straw totes for cheap...here are Old Navy's offerings! (Scroll down a bit.) A few cuties there! :)<br /> <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=7374&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....;sem=false</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straw-totes-for-summer#post-595341 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:32:53 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 595341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha, you know, when a sale hits, the room starts spinning. ;-)</p> <p>My TJ Maxx has been such a dismal disappointment lately, but you're right, it's about straw tote season, and even they should be getting something in soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straw-totes-for-summer#post-595319 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:14:55 +0000 christieanne 595319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all things Kate Spade but this might be too much for something you aren't sure you will love and is basically seasonal. There should be lower priced options hitting dept stores and discounts (TJ Maxx) just about now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straw-totes-for-summer#post-595314 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:10:06 +0000 ManidipaM 595314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Custom-woven lining and gold-plated hardware? Yes, a little bit dressy. </p> <p>Seriously, though, if you're uncertain this would work for you, maybe it's better to experiment on the cheap. Doesn't have to be absolute budget-basement; but maybe mid-market (I'd consider KS relatively high-end). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straw-totes-for-summer#post-595306 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:01:17 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 595306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have previously been on the "nay" side of straw totes, but I'm looking towards summer and I'm willing to give them another shot as I am still revamping my style. :)</p> <p>I would love to get a straw tote that is not too scratchy on the outside and is lined on the inside. Bonus points if it doesn't fall apart after one season. I'm not sure if this is one of those circumstances where price dictates quality. I could see going the inexpensive route just to try it out and see if I like them (risking having it just last one season) or just taking the plunge and getting a higher quality (and higher priced) bag.</p> <p>Thoughts? Links? :)</p> <p>As for taking the plunge, I adore this KS bag (on sale today and tomorrow - <a href="http://www.katespade.com/designer-handbags/fabric-purses/mount-perry-rumor/098689175577,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.katespade.com/desig.....lt,pd.html</a></p> <p>Can someone please talk me off the KS ledge? Even with a more polished daytime look (twill walking shorts, woven tops) that is too dressy, right? </p>
