Dakota Fanning’s Woven Straw Tote with Neon Handles

Dakota Fanning was photographed leaving a Los Angeles gym last Saturday (August 29) with a straw tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

The bag, called Rosa tote, is now sold out online. It used to be sold in the following online stores: Shopbop, Endless, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Bergdorf Goodman.

If you’re interested in getting a bright colored straw tote, here’s an alternative from the same designer: the Bianca Dreams of Monte Carlo Hayley Tote from Nordstrom:

Here are two other beautiful bags from Neiman Marcus and 6PM:

This one’s our favorite:

Milly Flower Straw Tote

The Milly Flower straw tote is probably too feminine to bring to the gym, but it’s the perfect tote for fun, carefree days when you want to add the perfect accessory to your outfit of sundress and sandals.

Rachel Bilson and Her 2010 Spring Woven Chanel Tote

Looks like Rachel Bilson has a new favorite purse – the 2010 Spring Woven Chanel Tote. She has been spotted sporting this country looking piece for the past few days. Check out these photos:

This girl sure loves Chanel; quite an expensive taste, if I may say. We saw her using a Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag last month (click here to read article), now she’s toting the brand’s latest spring purse.

The new woven Chanel tote isn’t in any way super extra-ordinary looking, but it does have some whimsical and dainty appeal to it. Plus, wearing it does fit the season. The material is actually made of fabric, though it appears to be made of straw from afar. What identifies the piece as Chanel are the tweed flower appliqués, the Chanel pendant, and the leather interlaced chain strap.

Knowing how Chanel bags can be ridiculously expensive (always over a US$1000++), looking for a more affordable option is always the alternative. Here are several quality woven designer pieces that will give you the same look without the hefty price tag:

Cole Haan Halsley Straw Tote, US$198
