The Quick Take

What it is

A handmade straw tote with leather trim and dual carrying options—short handles for hand-carry, long straps for shoulder wear. It's your versatile summer bag that fits a 13" laptop and looks effortlessly put-together.

Why We Like It

Why it keeps winding up in carts

8 buyers gave it a 3.6-star rating, signaling a bag with real appeal but some honest trade-offs worth considering.

Two ways to carry, one gorgeous half-moon shape.

Our Take

A charming mixed-media tote that earns its place in your warm-weather rotation.

This straw-and-leather hybrid splits the difference between beachy texture and polished structure—no wilting, no oversized slouch.

Handmade woven bags walk a line: they need to feel artisanal without falling apart, and look refined without losing their casual vibe. This one pairs an open-weave straw body with leather trim and reinforced straps to chase both goals.

On price

At $29.99 for a handmade mixed-media bag with dual straps and leather accents, the price leans accessible for a statement summer piece, though durability expectations should match the construction—treat it as a seasonal wardrobe investment, not a workhorse carryall.

The Criteria

What to weigh

01

Capacity & Shape

Half-moon silhouette; fits 13" laptop, makeup pouch, daily essentials.

The curved hobo shape is modern without being trendy-floppy. The interior space is generous without swallowing your phone, and the structure holds up when packed full. If you need a bag that works equally well for farmers-market trips and airport security lines, this silhouette delivers.

02

Dual Carrying Options

Short top handles + long reinforced straps.

Two handle sets mean you're not locked into one carry style. Hands-free shoulder wear works for commutes; hand-carry works for visual impact. The reinforcement matters—weak straps are the fastest way to wreck a tote, and leather-trimmed bases stabilize the structure at stress points.

03

Material & Durability

Open-weave raffia with leather trim, reinforced base; lightweight.

Straw and crochet breathe and age beautifully, but they're vulnerable without support. The leather rim and base protect the raw edges and prevent collapse. It's built to last a season or three if you avoid dragging it across pavement.

Who it’s for

Best for someone who wants a stylish, lightweight beach or weekend tote that dresses up a sundress and doesn't demand babying, and who appreciates the artisanal feel of handmade crochet without needing bulletproof everyday durability.
