Sondra Roberts embraces summer with this Cut-Out Tote from her SR Squared line.
The combination of natural toned woven raffia and poppy blue synthetic trim is perfect for warm weather use. It’s cute and casual, the kind of look that’s made for pairing with cut-off shorts or flowing maxi dresses. The bamboo turn-lock clasp also offers a more seasonal twist to this traditional vintage closure.
The Cut-Out tote is large enough to hold beach towels, flip flops, and other summer essentials, but I’d be a bit careful when loading it up. Raffia is notoriously fragile so overstuffing this tote could shorten its lifespan. It’s really made for lighter bulky items rather than cargo that will weigh it down.
Those items will stay organized thanks to the large zippered pocket and pair of open pouches. We expect this kind of configuration in most luxury bags, but many summery styles take a more minimalist approach. I’m glad for those additions, and you will be too when your cell phone is ringing! It’s refreshing to put your hand on those must have items without the scrounging.
At $85 this tote isn’t exactly a bargain, but it’s well priced for a bag that will get a real workout this summer, and the next.
