Parisian Chic Straw Handbag?

morethanbeige

I love the idea of a straw handbag for spring/summer AND it would really suit my *REAL LIFE* (re Angie's post today, haha). Was anyone else taken with the idea and does anybody have any ideas for where is a good place to look for one?

I really like their laid-back vibe for a casual and fun look. Maybe it's a little early yet, I bet we'll see them in the shops in a few months' time?

By the way, I still remember one of Angie's first Mom on the go outfits, she'd paired a Summer skirt with a denim jacket and a straw bag. Still works today, if you ask me!

Yes, Inge, that's what I like too. I feel like they also can add nice texture to a look. You are probably right....they will be showing up more soon...

If I'm remembering correctly, a place like TJMaxx would have a lot of these types of bags. Though it may be off-season at the moment. Good luck--sure you'll find a great one!

I don't know where to find one, but I'll be watching this thread because I want one too. It would fit my casual lifestyle perfectly in the summer.

I had a great one with wood handles, a few years back, from Fossil.

I LOVE THAT BAG! I will be on the lookout as well. It would be nice to find a soft one (as opposed to really scratchy) that had real leather trim or wood handles. I have a feeling it wouldn't be cheap though.

Thanks for the links, Inge! CC, I like the idea of leather trim too and I think you might be right about the price.

Carole, I like that JCrew tote a LOT. It has just the sort of nonchalant, simple style that I'm looking for in a natural straw bag. Love the leather handles! But I just got out a measuring tape and found that it really is quite large. Close though! Thank you!
