Designer Straw Beach Baskets for all Budgets
Here are a few Straw Beach Baskets that all share similar characteristics but differ greatly in price:

> Merona Large Straw Tote – On the super cheap-cheap side of the spectrum, it’s this Merona Target brand shoulder bag. This bag is made of woven corn husk that have been dried then dyed which gives it a yellowish tint. The bag also features synthetic-leather (plastic) trim and a tab flap over closure. Measurements: 20�? length x 12�? width x 6�? depth.

I wouldn’t call this bag cheap-looking but rather not quality. I honestly doubt it will last you the whole summer, but hey that’s what $20 will get you.

> Michael Kors ‘Santorini Large’ Shopper – Priced in the middle ground, it’s the Santorini tagged in the $300 range. This roomy beach-chic tote features leather straps, gold hardware trim and topped off with the signature Michael Kors flap over buckle. Measurements: 14″ width x 10″ height x 6″ depth.

In my opinion, out of the bags above this bag comes in at the best deal. It’s a struggle to find a good beach bag, and I wouldn’t want a bag that would fall apart before the summer is over (talking to you Merona). But maybe that’s just me.. I’m a firm believer in quality over quantity.

> Limited Edition Coach Jasmine Tote – And finally on the higher-priced side of the spectrum, it’s the Coach basket, that retails for a whopping (for Coach) $998. The bag is dressed in hand-woven straw, trimmed with bright orange leather and snakeskin trim and features the Fragrance fabric lining. Measurements: 24�? length x 13.5�? height x 10.5�? width. There are other bags in the new Coach Straw line that retail for slightly less.
