I love pretty woven handbags. They’re perfect for casual summer days probably because they look a bit like a picnic basket in some sort of way. Of course, in contrast to most baskets, woven designer bags are guaranteed to not give you a bothersome splinter.
The Cole Haan Genevieve and other woven purses like those from Bottega Veneta are certainly not made of straw. These intricately woven handbags are made from high quality, smooth leather, and each one has a signature weave.
This particular saddle brown color on the Genevieve brings out the details of the pattern brilliantly. The triangular shape gives the handbag a modern twist that keeps it from looking common. Handwoven shoulder straps echo the weave on the leather yet have a personality of their own.
If space is what you’re looking for in a handbag, the Genevieve Triangle Tote won’t disappoint. This large bag has several interior pockets and an enormous interior compartment that will even fit a laptop. If you love the woven look but want a different shape, this signature Cole Haan weave is available in several other styles including a hobo bag. The roomy triangle Genevieve is priced at $495.
