Raffia and crochet: two sublimely summery ingredients combined for the first time in this Mar Y Sol purse!
You see, that pink layered rose is actually constructed from raffia. Raffia in a crochet pattern, granted, but lightweight raffia nonetheless. Usually rose purses like this are made from leather or a chiffon fabric, so to see the shape in such a rigid and textured material is actually quite refreshing. Even better, it makes this clutch totally summer appropriate, updating the look for the coming season.
Other than the raffia, this handbag has been done before. However, sometimes all it needs is a little reinvention, and what Mad Imports has done is probably enough. We could perhaps use a little thought in the practicality. I wish every bag had to be built with an internal pocket, for instance. But it stands out brightly and cheerfully enough to almost excuse it.
$79 isn’t as cheap as we might have expected for a purse like the Maybelle, but at least you know that the range of colors will let you stand out in a crowd!
