Green fashionistas are spoiled for choice these days, with cotton canvas, bamboo, straw, and vegan leather giving us plenty of alternatives to animal skins. Grasscloth may not have the profile of many other eco-friendly fabrics, but that makes bags like the Nicole so attractive.
The tightly woven cloth is crafted from several Asian grasses and fibers. The neutral fabric is dressed up with colorful mock-croc trim. No one will mistake these vibrant accents for genuine crocodile, but they do add a little pizzazz. In coral, the Nicole is ready for fall. It’s also available in teal and a bright purple called raspberry.
The Nicole was made with women on the go in mind. The large zippered pocket up front is a handy place for stashing car keys and other essentials. The girly pink lined interior features a zippered pocket on one wall, and two slip pouches for gadgets on the other.
$295 seems a little expensive for the grasscloth and faux leather trim combo, but if you don’t mind the price this is a cute carryall for casual days out.
