Oryany Drew Raffia Tote | Summery Woven Purse with Brown Leather Trim

Posted on: Jun 8

Oryany Handbags Drew Tote Oryany serves up a classic summer tote with the Drew.

Its woven finish in natural toned raffia is a warm weather staple, but the Drew looks much more elegant than many summery purses do. Oryany uses conservative brown leather to trim the tote, rather than a bright color, and there are no loud prints or flirty accents. This minimalist approach helps us carry the Drew once the weather cools, unlike so many summer-styled handbags.

While the Drew will suit summer picnics and trips to the farmer's markets, I'd keep it away from the beach. Leather needs careful handling, and sea air and salt water will only make it age more quickly. That means it's not a great beach bag, but if you keep it away from the chlorine it might serve as a pool purse.

The Drew really is enormous, so I'm glad Oryany has added a much longer strap. Those handles won't be much good once the tote's loaded up, although they do look gorgeous with their intricate stitching.

This Drew tote's evergreen appeal and generous size makes it excellent value at $398.
