Burberry does great when it comes to designing bags that are stylish and trendy but still versatile enough to carry for more than one season or year. This
Summer Straw Tote is total simplicity, with the
Burberry check pattern only faintly visible on the buff-toned raffia. Other features include leather double handles, gunmetal hardware, protective feet on the bag's base, and a magnetic snap closure. It also has a full lining (with logo pattern) and a couple of basic interior pockets. Available at
Bloomingdales for $695 (also in blue).
