I've been looking for a neutral straw handbag for the summer, but, just can't find anything reasonable. A tote, not huge, or hobo would be preferable. However, I can not justify spending more than $100 on a bag for just three months. I would love your suggestions. Thanks for your help!

I'm interested too. I've been looking for a reasonably priced one for several years!

Well, I thought I had a prospective winner with the new Vera Bradley straw bag. But the snap closure was too wimpy and the negative VB reviews confirm it. So, back to the search.

LOL, at first I thought you wanted a bag made of straw, like a basket-weave. Then I saw the other comments and realized you meant color.

I think the OP does mean a straw bag....not necessarily a straw colored one.

Brighton makes several cute ones but they are pricey.

This is exactly the style of bag I was looking for! Unfortunately, the straw is version is sold out and they only have the fabric ones left. Great suggestion and I'll try looking for it somewhere else.

I got a nice straw bag last summer at penneys that was trimmed with black leather. Very pretty. it was my dress purse all last summer and will be again this year as it still looks like new.
