there is just something about straw bags that will always have a sweet spot in my heart. most of the time i'm all about the heavy leathers, studs, hardware... but as soon as the box opens at kate spade i can't help but be taken a beach in cape cod, the warm sand, fresh seafood, and the casual beach chic completed by the perfect straw tote. personally i would rather carry a birkin on the beach a la marc jacobs. but this bag comes in a close second as a perfect beach tote. and for $295 you can't afford not to for your next trip to nantucket.
