A Bag Made of Woven Seat Belts

We just found a woven bag in an unexpected place- Irv’s Luggage.

We weren’t really looking for a woven bag, but we were checking out the bag selections in the store because of the current site-wide sale when we found this nice woven purse:

Harveys Seatbelt Bag Margot Mix Weave Bag

What’s surprising is that this beautiful bag is made of seat belt material! This makes the bag very durable.

The circular acrylic handles of the bag make the bag easy to carry by the crook of one’s arm. The bag also has a detachable shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry around on errands or when traveling. The strap can be attached to the D-rings on the sides of the bag or you can use the D-rings for accessories.

The bag has four internal pockets so you can organize your items inside. The bag is fully-lined with black monogram prints.

The bag is selling for $128. It’s not cheap, but the bag comes with a lifetime warranty.

Woven Bag Pick from ShoeDazzle

Have you taken a peek at your ShoeDazzle showroom already? I’ve taken a look at mine and I love the selection of shoes, handbags and jewelries that I got this month.

When it comes to the handbag recommendations that I received, I’m digging majority of them and this woven number is one of my favorites.

It’s called the Lagos, and what makes it unique from the other woven bags out there is that the woven portion isn’t on the body of the handbag, but on the handles. Its handles are actually made of woven chain and faux-leather straps—utterly stylish, isn’t it? The chain and leather are so perfect together and fit each other to a T that they look seamless. I love the shapely form and the pleats that make it so feminine. And as you can see on the photo below, it also has a roomy interior and plenty of pockets.

Aside from the woven straps, it also sports detachable crossbody straps for that easier wear.

What do you think? Do you love it, too? Of course it goes without saying that I love its affordable price as well—it retails for only $39.95!

So, how about you? What handbags do you have in your ShoeDazzle selection this month?
