One of the best ways to get a top-end designer handbag with a twist is to choose a handbag crafted from unusual yet economical materials. Straw bags are a great idea for this, as the material is cheap yet the designs are very … well … designer!
If the vintage style classy straw bag is just your thing, then one of the poshest versions on the market is this slouchy hobo from high end handbag king, Coach. Thanks to the beautiful flexible straw exterior, you can own this tote for $257 rather than the more average Coach price of $500. Economical indeed, and very nice to your bank balance!
The reinforcing leather trim on this summery Coach handbag provides a strong and stylish contrast to the neutral color and texture of the woven straw body. In highly fashionable orange leather, this won’t be to everyone’s taste, but should coordinate well with plenty of catwalk items in the coming season. Just make sure that you have the right skin tone for it to look good!
The drawback with straw is its tendency to look casual, and this tote with it’s over-sized stitching and hardware wouldn’t look out of place on a beach or out for lunch. That said, the lovely short handles and slouchy shape mean that it is slightly more night-friendly that other straw hold-alls, even if it isn’t quite all glitz and glamour.
A great and unusual choice for a work bag, this stylish hobo will hold all you need in the many interior pockets, all the while providing something a little different (and fashion a little more vintage) to other basket styles on the market.
