Here at Maui Dean one of the things we believe in most is that style can come at any price, and that you can often get the latest trend at an affordable cost. While looking at a lot of the spring lines, and handbag blogs online, we came across this spring Chanel “Panier en toile tisée” raffia braided and woven tote. It’s refreshing from the typical heavy materials, structural leathers and complicatedly designed bags we saw throughout last fall and winter.
This “Coco Country” bag, has that unpretentious feel with accents that are classic to Chanel such as the woven emblem and the traditional leather handles. Though with a $5,400 price tag, it’s definitely a hefty investment and not for the feint of heart.
So to offer you a casual woven bag for less, here is the Napili Beach Bag. At only $21.90, it leaves your wallet with extra money to dress up the bag with your favorite accessories. You can carry this bag by itself or treat it like a blank canvas that you can accessorize depending on your outfit or mood. Just like the Chanel bag above, rather than having a logo emblem, you can pin on your favorite broach or adorn a beautiful necklace/bracelet around the handle to act as a purse charm.
For those looking for a similar shape to the Chanel bag, you can also go with the “Coby Coco” bag in a variety of colors. This bag not only has a similar shape but also a similar size in the top handles along with a front pocket.
This spring, when you finally put away your winter wear and bring out your fun prints or summer dresses, get creative with your favorite fashions and mix up accessories to achieve the look without breaking the bank.
