Tory Burch Synthetic Straw Shoulder Bag: Grasping at Straws

tory_burch_synthetic_straw_shoulder_bag.jpg

Think of summer and what comes to mind before a straw bag? Tory Burch’s synthetic straw (no wheat died for this!) shoulder bag is just the way I like my flax. With metallic silver leather trim, this is no country bumpkin’s picnic purse. It’s a hot city handbag! Tina gave me a straw-and-silver bag years ago, and every summer I dig it out of my closet because it always fills a need. A classic shoulder bag never goes out of style, so even if it’s purely seasonal, trust me, you will get annual use. This one is even Frugal Snob-approved, so it’s easy to justify the single-season purchase. Burch’s lightly structured bag has a thick, comfortable, no-slip shoulder strap with silver chain details that allow versatility. You don’t have to be in island wear; it’s equally suited for the office or the evening out. And you’ve gotta love that pocket under the flap: my new essential feature. I’ll never miss another call or text again! But don’t worry, Tina. It won’t replace yours. These two straw sisters will just take turns! At Nordstrom for $350.

Pair with: A straw bag looks kind of funky with high-waisted and lightly flaired retro jeans. Mother’s baby blues are the perfect shade with precision fit. Mother “The Drama” High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans, $220.

  1. Synthetic straw?! Disgusting! Who would want to replace a beautiful natural fiber for disgusting petro-chemicals?! And for $350?! You might as well go buy PVC. This is horrible.

  2. I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write with regards to here. Again, awesome site!
