Straw bags have been one of my objects of desire for the past few months. Unless you’ve been under a rock, you have seen the prime representation of this obsession in Gaia’s Ark, an indie turned sold out fashion blogger favorite style statement bamboo handbag that you won’t be able to get out of your head any time soon (if it wasn’t there already). Cult Gaia is home to quirky, somewhat bohemian, somewhat playful accessories and clothing, but the structured Japanese-inspired bag put it on the map of fashionistas last year, where it became a niche sensation for the fashion lovers and celebrities at a killer price that most designer fashion buyers would be happy to pay for the bag that says “I’m cool and I know it”.
