Franchi Handbags Archives

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.

Hot To Have: Woven Native Clutch Bags

It’s the season for picnics, trips to the country, and daily soakings at the beach. With the change in temperature comes the change in wardrobe requirements so while we’re at it, here are the latest woven native clutches you should buy this spring.

Why woven and why native? Well, because woven native bags are hot this season! Just look at Chanel’s 2010 Spring Line.

These pieces would look great with your spring outfits, whether you’re going to use it to a bonfire date at the beach, or to a simple dinner date along the country side.
