Things I love today: Oaxaca Reyna Bag

Oh Kate Spade…How do you manage to be adorable and unaffordable at the same time? It’s hard to do actually, look at Versace.

I love this Kate Spade straw tote with violet embroidery. The name is also a kick. Too bad this bag, which is essentially beachwear, is $195.00. It would take me about 16 minutes before I spilled sunblock and soda inside your “boldly striped seersucker lining.” Also, please note the depressing marketing copy that mentions the tote holds legal sized folders. It’s like they’re saying, “Haha, you’re a grown up and don’t have summers off any more. You have to use your cute beach tote to haul around files. Sucker.”

I digress. A far less cute approximation is available from La Redoute for $24.00. This choice for $35 is actually kind of fun. Plus, the $160 you save on one of the cheaper versions means you’ll actually have to work less, not more this summer. Maybe your tote could even visit the beach.
