While LeeAnn Rimes is still very much under public scrutiny for her controversial hook-up with current boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, that just doesn’t stop her from getting fab with her Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Large Gold Bag.

LeeAnn globe-trotted with this celebrities’ current favorite purse. She was seen shopping in Malibu, CA with her Diane von Furstenberg purse just a few days ago, and was also spotted making her way through an airport in Canada with said purse in tow. Here’s a closer look at the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Large Gold Bag:

I must admit that this purse looks appealing. The knitted metallic leather is unique and eye-catching, while the slouchy hobo style makes for an easy wear. And if you’re into purses that hold a lot of stuff, then this purse is certainly made for you. I’m not sure, though, if you still feel that way when you finally take a look at the current price tag. The medium version of this purse is available at dvf.com for a whopping $875.00. So if the price is quite damaging to your wallet yet you still want a purse that looks like the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Large Gold Bag, you may want to take a look at these stunning and less-expensive woven purses I’ve found for you:

Hilary Duff has a knack for dressing in style. The newlywed may not look extremely polished or put together like Victoria Beckham, but she knows how to look chic in every manner, even in just a pair of jeans and top. Case in point, when the former Disney star was spotted arriving at a gym in Hollywood last week:

Don’t you just love the way she added some twist into that casual look with a pair of bright yellow booties? The shoes definitely brightened up the ordinary looking outfit. And check out the bag, a large croc embossed tote to carry all her gym essentials – not a bad way to look stylish while working out; it’s definitely better than a boring old duffle.

If you like Hilary’s style, you can make it your own by going for a woven tote instead. Don’t forget your bright colored shoes too. Try these:

I thought it would be interesting to post this article for the woven bag junkie, or to anyone who enjoys buying and wearing woven bags at least. There is always a woven handbag you can use for every occasion, no matter what that may be. You don’t need to limit wearing the woven purse to casual or work activities, you can stretch it to a night out or to a red carpet event.
