Burberry Summer Straw Tote, Handbag of the Day

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).
