Back in 2008 (in other words ages ago), Beyonce was spotted carrying an uber chic purple woven bag.

Here’s a closer look at the bag.

Dior Samourai 1947 Woven Frame Bag

If you’re a designer bag junkie, then I’m sure you know what this Dior is made of. For those unaware, it is actually made of…surprise! Woven leather!

I know, I initially thought it was made of wicker too, but alas, I was wrong.

Despite the material however, everything about it seems to spell stiff. I am sure a lot of work was put into making the bag; it looks very unique and intricate. But the price tag of US$3,900 is just a little too much to digest. That amount actually costs more than all of my bags combined.

Anyway, if you want something artful and fancy like the Dior Samourai, go for these beautiful and tastefully done Capelli Creations instead.

These cost less than US$60 dollars! Now the Dior Samourai can’t beat that!
