Show me your Straw, Raffia, Wicker - SUMMER bags!!!

[Jereni]

This very random and cute Tommy Bahamas straw bag caught my eye today! I’ve never had a straw bag, but it feels so light and summery, I couldn’t resist. It doesn’t fit much at all so I’m debating keeping it, but it also didn’t cost much at all either!

Very cute! Always nice to get a good deal on a straw bag. I like the chain accent on this one.

Here is mine. It was gifted to me by my uncle while I was vacationing in Vietnam.

He purchased it at a night market stall located in the beautiful coastal city of Nha Trang.

Looks like patina that develops on all woods.

Can't believe this is Zara, it's really sweet

Thank you! Best 29 euros I ever spent… When you look at it closely you can see that it’s of course not of super high quality; but I’ve never been able to pull the trigger on an H bag in wicker—somehow the fragility of that material makes me terrified to spend thousands on such a model—but the Zara one is a fun, worry-free substitute.

Very pretty. What does it say the materials are?

Hi! So it says the bag is a combination of rattan and calfskin materials.

That sounds good to me, as one expect. The Longchamp 'basket' looks more natural but if I remember appearances were deceiving

I agree with your observation about the Longchamp 'basket.' It does have a more natural appearance, but as the saying goes, "Appearances can be deceiving." It's important to look beyond the surface and consider other factors when evaluating a product. While the Longchamp basket may have an appealing aesthetic, it's crucial to also assess its functionality, durability, and overall value for the price. It's always wise to do thorough research and read reviews from other customers before making a purchase decision. By considering both the appearance and practical aspects, you can make a well-informed choice that meets your needs and expectations.

Just ask Dior… if it’s anything like natural wicker furniture linseed oil might do the trick to restore an even finish.
