Big Buddha has given us a real bargain with this $14.89 straw clutch!
Straw clutches are everywhere this summer, and it is hard to turn a corner without seeing yet another version. To set this one apart from the crowd the designers have avoided the typical natural straw color, opting instead for a bright green that could look great with some of the more vibrant maxi dresses on the market. They have also added in a decorative straw bow, which sets this apart from plainer rivals.
Although they have clearly put effort into this summery clutch, I do have a few issues. Not least is the bow, as I am a bit of a bow purist. In my mind they look great in fabric or ribbon, or even, in exceptional circumstances, in buttery soft leather. In straw, however, you lose that definition and shape, resulting in a limp bow that blends in with the background. It is just plain wrong!
Maybe I am overreacting. And, to be fair, this is a very cheap purse. I am just disappointed by how clearly cheap the workmanship seems too.
