I love retro style straw clutches, and this delightful earthy example fits the bill perfectly. Basket bags are hot stuff for summer, and they allow smart clutches to effortlessly transpose into elegant day-wear.
eBay is choc-a-bloc with vintage wicker bags. These range from small clutches to huge totes, designed for everything from posh parties to beach BBQs. The High Street is following in suit, and this bag is designer style at affordable prices. Not only that, but it’s the best of a beautiful bunch!
I do always worry about the fragility of straw bags. Although the weave is tight on this, it probably won’t last as long as leather or even canvas varieties. If you are careful with it, however, it should last a few seasons, and vintage styles like this rarely go out of fashion.
The quirky leather touches on this little retro clutch are adorable. Available in either fuchsia or yellow, the little hinges with exaggerated stitching and studs are a great feature. Even better is the over-sized metal buckle! I wish I cold justify a new handbag for my holiday!
