Few fabrics say summer like straw. It might not last longer than a season or two, but bags made from this affordable woven fiber are perfect for stepping out in the sun.
While many labels dabble with the material, Magid is a straw specialist. Here it’s taken the traditional flap purse made famous by designers like Chanel and given it a fun twist. Straw is traditionally a casual affair, but Magid dresses it up with clean white trim. It’s PVC rather than leather, but used so sparingly we don’t really notice a difference … except when it comes to the bottom line.
At a mere $35, this flap purse is a steal. At that price I don’t mind if it won’t suit us beyond summer, or last too long. I also don’t mind that space is limited, because when the summer sun is beating down you don’t want to feel loaded up.
Magid makes the most of the Milan’s size though, with a zip pocket and two slip pouches helping to keep the clutter at bay. The stylish turn lock closure keeps your essentials safe, while adding a hint of vintage charm.
The Milan may not be as luxurious as its European name suggests, but I think it’s every bit as stylish.
