Although I’m a bit of a bag freak here, for some strange reason, I’ve never owned a straw bag. I see them and I go wow but I’m not sure I’ve ever stopped long enough to buy one for myself. Maybe it’s just not the kind of bag you bring to Corporate Tower so I guess that’s why I’ve always stuck with black leather bag after black leather bag.

But hey, I’m no longer a prisoner in Corporate Tower. I’m free as a bird and I sure can have a Straw Studios Handbag Anabella Swirl Tote if I want to. And in turquoise too, so sue me!

This tote boasts a wheatstraw braid with cotton lining inside and a snap closure bordered with very pretty swirls all round. The double handles are long enough to comfortably sling the shoulder. Mother’s Day is indeed barely a week away and counting… and if someone reads my mind and gets one of these for a present, I’m laughing .
