Anyone else looking for that Loewe straw bag alternative?

The Loewe straw elephant bag is all I can think about lately. It is perfect. But I also have bills to pay and that bag is not in the cards right now.

I have been searching for something with that same vacation energy. Woven, relaxed, goes with everything from a sundress to jeans.

Found this straw tote with tassel details that honestly gives the same vibe. The weave is tight and structured so it does not look floppy or cheap.

Took it on a weekend trip and got compliments at literally every stop. Coffee shop, bookstore, restaurant. People love a good straw bag in summer.

It is not an elephant obviously. But the energy is right. And my wallet is not crying which is nice.

What other designer vacation bags are you lusting after? Maybe we can find some good alternatives together.
