Large Valeta Crocheted Raffia Bag

Needed a woven, or rattan, or one of those kind of pieces in my closet and this bag arrived and it has the perfect amount of slouch for that perfect relaxed summer vibe. The size is decently large, and there’s a zipper pocket so I feel secure bringing this on a trip to walk around with. Just love!

This raffia bag has the cute and trendy look, but the very short handle made it very awkward to carry and hang too close to the upper part of the body, making it hard to get things in and out of the bag. I found it to be bulky and too large for my petite frame. It might be a cute bag for a taller person, as it looks to be well-made and decent quality, but it wasn’t for me, so I returned it.

Wanted to like this because of it’s unusual design, but that very design makes it sit at an odd angle if you wear it as a shoulder bag. Very uncomfortable under my arm. It’s a shame because when you look at it, it’s actually pretty cute. Had to return.

Love the looks of the bag, great size, easy to carry. Only, no pockets whatever in inside bag. EVERYTHING GOES TO BOTTOM. Will not return, as I love the bag…just will be a mess inside and difficult to find ANYTHING.

The bag is beautiful, however, the shoplifting alarm was not disabled and I set off store alarms. Very distressing. I now have to physically go to Nordstrom with the purse to have them disable the alarm. I’m not happy about this.
