I saw a very similar straw bag for $158 in a designer boutique and searched the web for a cheaper knock-off.  This bag fit the bill.  It is the exact same measurements as the designer bag and just as roomy.  I love how wide the opening is, so you can easily access all the things inside without having to blindly dig around. I agree with a previous poster that with its untreated, slightly flexible rattan and thin cotton floral lining, it doesn't seem like it will last forever, especially if you overstuff it.  But, for the price, I think it is a good deal and very cute.  Recommended!
