Thread: Cole Haan Halsey Rosette-Detailed Straw Tote

Did anyone get their hands on a straw tote for the warm climate season? As soon as summer is about to roll in, designers from all sections of the globe start pouring out their interpretations of the perfect straw totes. At that very point in time I contemplate finally adding a straw addition to my collection, and of course, I never get to it. To my surprise, name brand Cole Haan has a really pretty straw tote out in their collection that reminds me of summer with a twist of fall to it. It’s the Halsey Rosette-Detailed Straw Tote, a piece that doesn’t necessarily scream summer-only. Living in Texas where the sun is scorching most of the year, this tote would be perfect to wear year round. The details that makes this piece stand out from other straw totes has got to be the artistic black floral decors and patent leather trim. It’s very feminine, eye-catching and definitely not your granny’s floral purse. If the tubular flowers aren’t necessarily your favorite, you can always detach them from the tote for a more simple and casual look.

With numerous compartments, sky blue lining, and a cool $198 price tag, I’m giving this Cole Haan piece a two thumbs up!

No straw totes for me this year. Also I swear I saw this bag on sale at Nordstrom Rack. I'm going to have to stop back in there and check it out.

Pretty bag. But how do you keep straw bags looking clean and new?
