This week the trend we are looking at acquiring is woven bags. Timeless, stylish and suddenly a hit again this summer, we sent Alex out to check what is available in stores.
Of course the object of total and utter desire is the Bottega Veneta tote. Sighhhh. Only R29,800. We have loved this for so long, we thought we would also show you the smaller (ever so slightly more affordable at R13,900) clutch as well. Both are available from Apsley and Apsley 2.
What was a bit of a surprise was the wonderful quality of the Dragon tote from Callaghan Collezionie. For only R5,495 it is almost identical to the Bottega Veneta version and just as delicious.
We loved the lighter version that we saw at Kluk CGDT as it was so summery and could just as easliy be appropriate for the beach and for the office. At R4,695 it is a lovely investment piece that will last.
And finally there is a gorgeous clutch from Jo Borkett that is an easy entry point to the trend. At R1,290 it is available in two shades and perfect for the party season coming up soon.
