eBags ushers in Fall with a sale on woven purses and totes. You might think woven bags have no place in your Fall wardrobe, but they do. If you want to break your outfit black and gray outfit with an unexpected detail, the skull weave bag from Rebecca Minkoff may do the trick. If you’re the kind of gal who rocks the bohemian look all year round, then a colorful woven bag will definitely work well with your dresses and blouses. If you’re a busy mom who needs a roomy bag for running errands, then look at the roomy but light bag from Elaine Turner.

This fun summer tote is now only $28.80. It’s just the kind of bag that will go well with a fun, boho, look. The bag has a snap closure, an inside pocket and 1 open pocket. The bag also has a circle handle making it easy to put on one’s shoulder. Aside from the bright colors, the bag also has a decorative

This gorgeous Elaine Turner weave purse is now discounted by 20%. The bag is selling for $139.99.

The bag is roomy and because of the material it is made of, surprisingly light for its size. The bag may be made of barrel weave but its trim and handles are made of 100% genuine leather. The bag has exterior side pockets and interior accessory and zip pockets.

The next bag is less summery with a design that fits right into fall:

Rebecca Minkoff Skull Weave Small Rocker

The Rebecca Minkoff Skull Weave Small Rocker has skulls, a great contrast to the feminine size and shape of the bag. The bag has a combination of black, white, and brown making it a very versatile piece of accessory that can go with different looks and different shoes. The bag is made of cotton weave with leather trim. The bag is now only $100 after discount.

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!

(Though not exactly woven, allow us to consider the crochet bag as an ‘honorary member’ of the woven category for the simple reason that it offers a similar appeal as native woven bags do, especially when the material used is of organic origin. The similarities also extend to the fact that both are  meticulously hand-crafted.)

Jessica Alba sports a lot of handbags, but one that has caught our attention is this crochet bag which she toted around for a while.

Apart from the headbands, the one other constant companion Jessica has in these photos is this bag. We found out that this is a Ferragamo Gancio Crochet Bag. The bag looks exquisite, and it is clear to see she loves using it to complete her look

Speaking of the look, I’m guessing she’s either channeling ‘gypsy’ or ‘summer in the country’. Either way, she looks good with her colorful headbands and hoop earrings.

If you want Jessica’s bag but can’t afford it (priced at US$1500++), then I suggest you grab any of these equally appealing alternatives:
