(Though not exactly woven, allow us to consider the crochet bag as an ‘honorary member’ of the woven category for the simple reason that it offers a similar appeal as native woven bags do, especially when the material used is of organic origin. The similarities also extend to the fact that both are meticulously hand-crafted.)
Jessica Alba sports a lot of handbags, but one that has caught our attention is this crochet bag which she toted around for a while.

Apart from the headbands, the one other constant companion Jessica has in these photos is this bag. We found out that this is a Ferragamo Gancio Crochet Bag. The bag looks exquisite, and it is clear to see she loves using it to complete her look

Speaking of the look, I’m guessing she’s either channeling ‘gypsy’ or ‘summer in the country’. Either way, she looks good with her colorful headbands and hoop earrings.
If you want Jessica’s bag but can’t afford it (priced at US$1500++), then I suggest you grab any of these equally appealing alternatives:
Cappelli Hand Crochet Toyo Bag w/ Shells, US$34
Flora Bella Santorini, US$120
Flora Bella Darwin, US$112

If you’re into nature, prefer the countryside, wish to go green, or simply prefer everything native and organic (from the food you eat to the clothes and accessories you wear), then you will probably appreciate the bags from Straw Studios. This brand practically sells every type of native woven bag offered in the market – from rattan, to corn husk, to wheat straw.
With so many styles to choose from, selecting the perfect native bag may tend to get a little confusing. To make your life easier, I pre-selected a few styles that I found classy enough to be worn even if you’re in the city. Here they are:
Straw Studios Heidi Cornhusk Scarf Tote
Straw Studios Nautical Tote
Straw Studios Alexis Rattan Clutch
Straw Studios Natalie Clutch
Straw Studios Tote with Fabric Trim
Before purchasing your choice however, make sure you know exactly what you want in a native bag. That way, you will know what to look for.
