BAG LOVE: STRAW vs BASKET BAGS

A few weeks ago at a Loft event I hosted, I met Miss Bee and her lovely round basket bag. I had been eyeing one- a very expensive one and immediately had to know the deets of hers. She shared that she purchased hers in Bali (some later research revealed that these bags are a thing in Indonesia) but that Etsy was a good place to find an affordable version.

So off to my trusted Etsy I went and after a long long long long time going down the Etsy wormhole, I made it out with quite a few great options. What started a quest for a specific bag led to an amazing selection of not only basket bags, but also straw bags and bolga bags and woven bags and on and on. Check out some of my picks and let me know which ones you prefer in the comments below.
