Last summer I decided to buy a small straw bag. I am not sure why because I had no where to go, but I loved how it took my simple summer outfits and make me feel put together. This year I decided to purchase a straw tote from Heidi Wynne and it’s the greatest item because I can fit so much in it. Plus, it is very cute and makes me feel quite polished. As I reemerge into the world I am looking forward to wearing more pieces that bring me joy.
The french market tote from Heidi Wynne is the perfect warm weather accessory.
My straw bags for the Spring picks
The brand Muuñ is a partnership between Ghanaian and Parisian artists. Each piece is hand-woven and dyed with herbs in Ghana. The bags are then sent to Paris for the accent pieces on each bag. I love black cotton lining on this bag.This bag from Cesta Collective has it all. The gorgeous cognac leather, the blue and white stripe design and high quality straw material. The bags from Cesta Collective are handmade in Rwanda by female artisans.Kayu works directly with female cooperatives all over the world to construct their straw bags pieces. The bags are made in the Philippines by female artists who take home a living wage to support themselves and their families. I adore the white stones on this clutch.
The pieces created by Mehrotra are a fusion between Swedish minimalism and Indian warmth. I love the beautiful silk that lines the bag.
Sensi Studios bags are handmade in Ecuador by female artists. The leather accents on this bag from Sensi Studio are beautiful. I particularly like the cross body option.
