If you’ve always wanted to purchase woven bags from 6pm.com,  now is the perfect time to do so! The website is offering, for a limited period of time, a reduced standard shipping rate of $3.95. That’s $3 cheaper than the store’s normal (and already very affordable) shipping rate of $6.95.

We were  browsing the store’s woven purse offerings and found this nice bag from Cole Haan:

Cole Haan Heritage Logan Weave Tote

If you need an everyday bag, the Cole Haan woven tote is the perfect bag to get. There’s really something very classy about woven leather purses, as you can see in this picture of the tote being carried:

The bag is really beautiful but it’s also very practical with its top zip closure, and the space it provides.

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:

Clockwise from top left: DKNY Woven Large Shopper, $276.25; Nine West Melinda Large Hobo, $44.50; Francesco Biasia Claire Medium Shoulder, $74.00; Elliott Lucca Handbags Angeline Tote, $99.00.

I found this picture of Reese Witherspoon with then boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and thought how interesting it was to see a multicolored woven bag released seasons ago. Such a piece would have been a perfect accessory this spring.

I guess this just shows how trends come and go, and then come back again. The one on Reese is a Lanvin Happy Woven Bag by the way.

I found another woven Lanvin while doing my search – the Lanvin Happy Satin Woven Purse. Here’s a look:

I’m sure these two Lanvin purses cost a fortune. In fact, the satin purse alone went for over US$2000++ when it was released.

Now if you want something similar but definitey less costly, why not go for a brand like Harveys Seatbelt Bag instead? I found these cute options:
