Straw Studios Lily Satchel | Cute Woven Cornhusk Spotted Bow Bag

Posted on: Feb 17

With its tiny little name, it's little wonder that the Lily is one super cute purse.

Straw Studios is famous for its woven straw bags, and this one doesn't deviate too dramatically from that format. The cornhusk is woven in a boxy design on the body, then braided around the top of the bag. This traditional look is jazzed up with patent PVC handles and an oversized bow. The spotted ribbon gives the Lily its character, and while it won't please everyone I think it's adorable.

A lined interior is a given on a luxury purse, but a lovely bonus here. So are the pockets: one zippered, one open, and one for a cell phone. These make the interior much more functional than that of many straw satchels. I'm less enthusiastic about the closure though. A drawstring does seem to suit the Lily's relaxed vibe, but it's not as secure as a zip might have been, or as easy to operate as a magnetic snap.

It may not be the height of fashion, but the Lily would be a great companion for picnic lunches and days at the beach. With warmer weather approaching, this affordable Straw Studio looks like an attractive proposition.
