Looks like Cameron Diaz is a big fan woven purses, especially one brand of woven purses in particular—Bottega Veneta.

Only a few weeks after we featured her with her Bottega Veneta Dark Brown Woven Leather ‘Veneta’ Large Hobo Purse in Berlin, The Green Hornet actress was spotted again with another Bottega Veneta on her arm, this time a Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Medium Duffel. Take a look:

Cameron was snapped ready for take off for Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at LAX, looking classy with a camel-colored woven Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Medium Duffel.

Here’s Cameron upon arriving at the luxurious Cabo San Lucas getaway, still with her Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Medium Duffel:

Balenciaga Cannage Croc City

If you’re ever in need of a fresh designer fix, I suggest you head over to Barneys and get yourself a Balenciaga Cannage Croc City. It’s pretty much the Balenciaga City in a whole new package – multicolored and woven. Obviously, for the fanatics like us, finding a woven Balenciaga is like finding a treasure.

Balenciaga Cannage Croc City

The Cannage holds a lot of unique charm, especially with its woven and multicolored feature. Up close you will find that the black leather trim is made out of  embossed croc leather while the woven body is in distressed lambskin.  Together, the two elements act like yin and yang. And together, both make the Cannage look very distinct.

Up close and personal

But I guess what ultimately makes this bag a status symbol is its price – a very heavy US$6,795. If you can afford it, feel free to visit Barneys.com and make your purchase.

We can’t give you alternatives today though, because the Cannage is just too unique. So if you can’t afford it, don’t force. Try these more affordable designer bags instead:
