Is Halle Berry’s Memorial Day Beach Bag a Fendi?

I think I seriously need some help. I’ve been trying to ID the bag Halle Berry toted to the beach last Memorial Day (May 30) and my efforts have lead me to dead end results.

Here are pictures of Halle with the mystery bag I am talking about:

Halle Berry, Memorial Day (May 30, 2010)

I am taking a wild guess that it’s a Fendi, only because the embossed detailing at the top of the bag makes it look like so. Other than that, I am totally clueless.

The bag is beautiful, that much I can say. The woven detailing at the center combined with the embossed feature makes it a unique looking piece. If you can ID the bag for me, it would be a very big help.

My effort to find a look-alike for less gave me nothing as well. But these fresh woven pieces  from Zappos and Overstock are just as beautiful:

Bottom: Rampage Verona Drawstring Bag, US$65; DKNY Woven Large Shopper, US$429

Update on Halle’s Bucket Bag:

Ok, so after some further research I was able to ID the bag. It’s the Cleobella Kaya Bucket Bag. Retail price is US$528 and it will be available at Shopbop.com this coming June 30th!

A Look Back at Rachel Bilson’s Woven Zac Posen Bags
