Giani Bernini dresses up the traditional woven straw purse with this sophisticated Dreamstraw.
The name seems to suggest that this handbag is all our woven straw dreams come true. That could be overstating the point, but I do appreciate what Giani Bernini’s done with this accessory staple here. The blue colored straw appears a bit more refined than a natural toned fiber would, and the brown leatherette trim and handles add serious style. Fashion snobs might crave real leather, but used so sparingly I don’t think we notice a difference. Except in the hip pocket, of course. If this purse did employ real leather, we’d never score it for $75!
Giani Bernini might have skimped a little on the materials, but it doesn’t cut any practical corners. I was impressed to see a central pocket dividing the mid-sized interior into three user-friendly sections. Several more organizational pouches line the inner walls, and there’s another zippered pocket on the shopper’s rear. This one will sit snugly against your body for a little extra security.
Who says you can’t wear straw after summer? This shopper’s style makes it perfect for carrying into fall and beyond.
