I have been searching for a casual straw clutch that doesn’t go the route of employing a leather-esque trim for a few months now, and this Mar Y Sol clutch from Mad Imports is the closest candidate I have come across so far.
While most clutches try a formal and structured approach to straw, the affordable Chelsea clutch is the first I have seen that lets the unkempt and relaxed nature of straw take the front position. Rather than neatly keeping everything in, the rough texture and gorgeous sun bleached shade are allowed to look as natural as possible. Only the wooden button breaks from the expanse of plaits, and that works to accentuate the hand-weaved ruggedness, rather than diminish it.
Whilst the realistic shape is charming, I can understand why it would put people off. After all, folks generally migrate towards symmetrical shapes, and that doesn’t work in a purse such as this. Plus, the risk of the strap rope fraying and breaking is higher in this sort of straw clutch.
This is a cute bag, and well priced at $69. Plus, with all the different color options available there is bound to be one that matches your outfit!
