handbag made mostly of straw?

This is beautiful, but do you think it's worth $1200.00?

Quite a dilemma, isn't it? I don't think I'd pay more than $50 for a bag made mostly of straw (or similar material). It's a shame, since I like that Celine you posted (first pic), and there's also a raffia Boogie bag at Neiman's that I like. I tend to feel similarly towards fabric bags (which rules out the linen Boogie also currently at Neiman's :sad:), though my $$$ threshold would be higher for fabric vs. straw.
 
I've had some interesting experiences with straw bags. I paid almost $100.00 for a bag that fell apart and $30.00 for a bag that seems as if it wants to last forever. But then, I paid $15.00 for a straw bag that fell apart after two weeks. I feel most comfortable paying at least $30.00, but nothing over $150.00. That's a pretty good range.:laugh:
