Chloe woody basket tote

[Volvomom]

Does anyone have this bag or have seen it in person? Thoughts or opinions???

I havent seen anyone carry this yet, i just wonder how sturdy or strong the basket is to keep its weave & not fray. but again have never seen a designer weave in person, would be interesting how they treat it - is it long lasting.

Chloe is my favorite. I saw this bag along w the straw bucket bags on their website and was intrigued. But I struggle w the price...esp since its straw.

I know......steep price for a beach bag, that's what i would use it for. I wanna see this in person!!!! Its sold out right now at Saks.

I tried it in store today. Quite bag and the raffia doesn’t feel very soft or well made. I actually much prefer the woody basket (the small one with a thin shoulder strap). It is so much better and chic!

Thank you!!!!!!

I love the fact that it's handmade in collaboration with a fairtrade organization, the leather label inside is marked with the name of the weaver and the weave looks sturdy enough to me - tightly woven with expected irregularities which just add to the overall charm and character. I have both the basket and the regular medium woody tote with the tan trim and having trouble deciding which to keep!

isn't it paper? that's what's keeping me from buying it, $620 for a paper bag?

I don't think its paper.....i honestly don't know, i haven't seen it in person. I would love too hold it, etc.

straw is not paper

I would get a non-brand straw bag for summer, then save this money for a wallet or some other bag I like in the future.

Do you own the basket bag? I have been eyeing it and was wanting to hear someone’s input on it! How much does it fit? Love how it looks!!

I just tried it on today and it’s super cute, can fit a lot inside. Only problem is the bottom is very stiff, if i tried this as a shoulder bag it would awkwardly stick out at my waist. Great if you want a top handle bag but not for me as a shoulder bag. It’s a soft weave and not a hard material like Marcie Basket.

I ended up getting the large basket, same basket size as woody but longer straps.
