Are straw and raffia bags ever worth more than $100? Or do you associate them with summery, breezy, maybe even touristy vibes? Even the simplest natural materials have gradations, and then these materials meet a bunch of different design and finishing decisions. Mango’s bag looks great from afar, but the trim really demotes it. I’d rather get the proverbial market bag than the one from Mango. Veronica Beard just launched bags last month, and I’m really impressed by what I saw at their store. The finishing aligns with what you see at bags that are easily three or four times the price. The question, as always, is what sort of refinement are you looking for? And what’s the value proposition for you? The Target straw tote bag is really compelling for a modern, minimal take on straw. It would lend thoughtful balance to a really dressy or tailored outfit. I’m always looking for ways to cosplay as easygoing, and I’m grateful when Target gets it done. Of course, the Target bag also looks great by the pool or at the beach. LTKfindsunder50 LTKVideo LTKitbag
