I love Brighton bags!  I have several of them, but not a raffia one.  They do offer a nice collection of the straw/ raffia but they are pricey.

Does anyone remember the sitcom " The Golden Girls"? The character Sophia always carried a beautiful white wicker purse. It reminded me of the summer purses we had in the 60s. They were wicker with a sturdy duckcloth lining and the closure was a kisslock. The handles were leather. I would give my right arm to get one of those again! I had 6 that I can remember and I foolishly gave them up when the new trend, which I don't remember what it was, came along. 😢

In the 60s I owned several beautiful wicker handbags made by Koret.  I had black, white and a couple of natural.  I loved those bags!  I don't remember what I paid for them but  I know it was less than the asking price of the vintage Korets.

There was a Nash show on Q late last night. She has a new leather woven tote. A couple of basic colors (black, tan) and several fashion colors including this Strawberry 🍓

I know it's not the same but I love crochet bags. They're soft, durable, great for spring-summer-fall. I have a Patricia Nash crossbody one in ivory crochet with tan leather, but also all crochet bags from The Sak. Love them all.

i bought the IHKWIP Big Deal tote in raffia and also the wristlet, and love them both. They are synthetic but don't look it to me.

   I have a picture of myself from when I was 14 years old 

carrying that same bag with the leather handle. I have always loved having a woven raffia or straw bag in the summer.

   I bought  a straw and leather trimmed satchel bag last summer

and happy to use it again this year. Those styles are really popular this year.

    Every time I see Sohia carrying her straw bag, it reminds me of mine from 1961.
