@1Professor Now this is what I can a wicker handbag (Lucena in your original post). When I was little I remember my middle sister had a structured wicker bag and I never thought I'd see one like it again in my lifetime, lol.

I grew up in South Alabama where wicker purses, we called them purses, was a rite of spring. The 1960's one you pictured was how I remember them. Even little girls had them. For Easter you wore a hat, wore gloves (I had some sheer ones), carried your purse and Bible and wore ruffled ankle socks and black or white patent mary jane shoes from Buster Brown.

I've been contemplating some sort of natural fiber or material bag. I love the look of so many of the rafia, straw, etc. bags... And, of course, some of them bring to mind Sophia Petrillo...

Macy's has the Lucena at 30% off today!
@1Professor First of all, I don't know why but when I glance at your thread headline I see "The joys of a wicked handbag!" Well, I do need new glasses...and these handbags can be wickedly good sometimes.
I remember my mom and grandma having wicker handbags. I like the one above!
Here are the details, and it's larger than I thought.
The Macy's VIP sale makes this bag quite tempting. Did you order one?

@hicindy2 Wow, I like all of them! The first one, the Brighton, reminds me of a bee with a honeycomb. It's sold out online. Good for me...I like it a lot!

@Nightowlzwrote:@1Professor Well I was born in 58 so must be why I don't really remember them.
About 10 years ago. They were in all the major department stores that I went into.

I had one lots of years ago ... no problem until I used it while wearing a knit top.
Never again. No matter how careful I was, the wicker splintered and snagged my clothes.

Did Sophia on the Golden Girls ever carry anything but that wicker purse? That's all I ever saw.
