We know woven is hot this spring, and so is the use of native materials like straw and raffia on shoes and bags. From Chanel’s straw-like, barn-inspired brushed tweed bags, to Bottega Veneta’s raffia made wedge sandals, it’s plain to see woven native accessories are one of the must-buy items of the season.

Bottega Veneta Paille Raffia Wedge (s2010)
This being said, why not go with the flow and purchase a woven piece for yourself, even if you might not exactly be a fan of such native made pieces?
A good one to try for starters is the Mar Y Sol Lola Sequin Clutch:
Mar Y Sol Lola Sequin Clutch, US$85
It is small enough so you won’t feel overwhelmed with the bag’s native feel, and it is beaded with sequins to brighten up the plain straw appearance of the clutch and give it a more glamorous twist. In fact, this clutch is just the perfect item to bring if you’re off to a beach party or a beach date.
Priced at an accessible US$85, this Lola Sequin Clutch from Mar Y Sol is quite an affordable designer piece to buy.
