The end of last Summer, I realized a silly “need” for an outrageously “Summer” bag. What other material than straw? Sure, bright colors and croc leather are in for Spring, but with the seasons changing before we know it, don’t you want to skip ahead on occasions? I’ll be in Florida for my Spring Break (in one week), and I think my new Fossil Straw Satchel will be my carry-on as well as my handbag for some of the trip.

This Cierra Ring Satchel by Fossil is very similar to the one I bought from Filene’s. They’re both so, so cute. But this one has wooden handles and gathers with ties. The styles are well-designed and look expensive, but they’re not that much money ($78 on Fossil.com - and mine was $68 - also look out for sales).

They have different, cute styles of straw handbags, and varieties of leathers, so check Fossil.com and your local department stores for different versions.
