Etienne Aigner Straw Handbags

The Beauty of Etienne Aigner Straw Handbags

Once relegated to picnics and thought of as Little Red Riding Hood's accessory of choice, straw bags now boast a whole new attitude thanks to designers like Etienne Aigner. Aigner, who specializes in jewelry, handbags, footwear and accessories, offers a line of glamorous straw handbags that exude a surprising element of sophistication considering the typically rustic nature of straw. Utilizing elegant details, Aigner applies the same flawless construction and design elements to these organic bags as he does to his dressier evening bags.

An extensive variety of straw handbags now exists. From dressy clutches to casual totes to everyday shoulder bags, there is truly something for anyone who interested in making straw a part of her wardrobe.

Styles

Affordable, classic, and undeniably stylish, Etienne Aigner's designers are renowned for their timelessness and outstanding construction. The effortlessly chic straw handbag collection is as glamorous as any leather or snakeskin collection, and equally versatile, if not more so.

Several styles of Etienne Aigner straw handbags exist, including the following.

Signature Straw Tote

A practical shape is the highlight of this summery, relaxed tote bag. Made primarily of straw, this bag is accented with leather trim in shades of camel and dark brown. Both are beautiful choices that will easily complement a warm weather wardrobe. This is the type of bag that holds just about everything with ease. It's a lightweight purse, so it won't add bulk to your burden, and it's spacious enough to accommodate the essentials – and then some.

Smart buckle accents wrap around the sides of the straw bag, and the leather is a smart contrast to the naturally-colored straw. Choose this if you spend plenty of time outdoors and want something that will work well with almost everything you own.

Antigua Collection Hobo

Featuring the same general details as the Signature Straw Tote, this casual hobo boasts a slightly younger look. Its shape is not as strongly defined as the typical hobo, so it's great for the woman who doesn't necessarily want that shape but still appreciates the soft, clean lines.

Bedford Top Zip

Everyone needs that one sensible shoulder bag that is appropriate for all occasions. Look no further than the Bedford Top Zip for the perfect solution. This versatile, petite purse is made of soft, practically plush straw. It's trimmed with a man-made material that resembles leather. The faux leather is accented by visible top stitching, which lends the material an authentic look.

Complete with an interior flap pocket and diminutive hardware, this shoulder bag is worth every affordable cent! It's the type of handbag that is pulled out time and again; it's perfect for everything from errand runs to casual evenings out. It's also work-appropriate.

Southbeach Small Tote

One of the most attractive straw bags to hit shelves in a long time, the Southbeach tote is ideal for the woman who is young at heart and appreciates a little color. This unique bag is made with bright pink straw and bordered with an attractive maple-hued leather trim. The smart combination of colored leather and straw is undeniably eye-catching, and it's definitely a head-turner of a handbag.

Perfect for a trip to the beach or a drive to the country, this holiday-appropriate bag practically screams summer! It has a sensible design paired with an unexpected color combination. The result is a bag that's sure to appeal to everyone – even those who have their doubts about carrying straw bags.

Santa Cruz Medium Tote

With a look reminiscent of one of Coach's new straw totes, the Santa Cruz bag is a piece of arm candy that every woman should have in her arsenal. It's simple, yet completely chic. It pairs natural wicker with crisp white leather, resulting in a tote that exudes a casual vibe.

While the bag is certainly relaxed, it also radiates an earthy sex appeal that somehow seems especially appropriate during late spring and early summer. It's a fantastic bag to own, simply by virtue of its versatility and classic design.
