Katherine Heigl’s Straw Tote

Monday, March 28th, 2011 at 4:37 am

Katherine Heigl dashed off to sunny Sunshine State Florida for some R&R a few days ago with husband Josh Kelley and mom Nancy.

Katherine was spotted soaking up the sun on March 18 in Miami (right photo), and doing some shopping on March 20 around town (left photo).

Spot the bag that Katherine was toting on those two occasions. It’s a beautiful straw tote in cognac from Prada, and here’s a closer look:

How do you like it? It’s not your ordinary straw bag for it looks elegant. The cognac color is quite posh, and the combination of the cognac body and the cream-colored top handles is just right. It may not be apparent from the picture, but its handles actually have a web design. All in all, it’s a bag that’s not only perfect for a beach or tropical getaway, but would also serve well as an everyday go-to purse.

If you love this Prada Straw Tote, you can shop for one at Saks Fifth Avenue for $880.00. If you find it too pricey for your taste, then check out the lovely straw bags we’ve featured in our previous post.

Straw bags are hot at the moment. And it’s really no surprise why that is. The mere sight of straw bags is a wonderful reminder of glorious spring and tells us that fun times under the sun are soon going to arrive. Plus, straw bags are not only cute and fun, but they’re also practical and functional with their roomy interior. They’re perfect for that walk in the park, weekend outings and even as everyday bags.

From haute designer straw bags to affordable ones, straw bags are definitely “in”. We’ve spotted several celebs going the straw bag route. There’s Courtney Cox, who carried a straw tote while on Hawaii a few weeks back (left photo), while Glee‘s Jayma May’s had her Kate Spade Point Breeze straw tote with her during the 8th Annual John Varvatos Stuart House Benefit in West Hollywood, CA on March 13 (right photo).

Brooklyn Decker’s Woven Tote

Actress Brooklyn Decker added texture to her look, while promoting her new movie Just Go With It, via her black woven leather tote. Take a look:

Brooklyn, along with Just Go With It co-star Adam Sandler, was spotted signing autographs after promoting the said movie on the MTV show The Seven. She stepped out for her TV appearance in a cold weather ensemble of gray coat, skinnies, and pointy gray and black suede ankle boots. And of course, there’s that sleek woven tote on her arm.

If you’re a big fan of woven purses as much as I do, you might have already guessed by now the make of Brooklyn Decker’s woven tote. The simple and clean design, as well as the shiny, luxe-looking material are big giveaways that it’s a Bottega Veneta, which in this case is particularly the Bottega Veneta Moon Cabat Woven Tote.
