As I’ve started paying more attention to home decor + design, I can’t help but notice how much inspiration fashion draws from home design. That’s what initially drew me to my Palmgrens Rattan Bag. It’s the best, but it reminded me of a caned chair I have in my apartment. They’ve been making this exact style since the fifties and a few of you have DM’d me photos of grandparents’ bags which is so cool!
I bought mine directly from Palmgrens’ website and was a little shocked by how quickly it shipped. It was coming from Stockholm so I figured it would take a while… I was pleasantly surprised when it came within a few days. While I do think it was worth every penny, it’s also expensive so I’d recommend this or this clutch (on sale!) as an alternative! Also on the wicker/rattan front: these slides. Admittedly I don’t wear a lot of flat sandals (my feet actually feel better with a low to mid heel vs. totally flat) but I made an exception for these as they match my favorite bag!!! L-O-V-E!
Outfit Details: Topshop Dress (size down – mine is a bit big) // Palmgrens Rattan Bag // St. Agni Slides // J.Crew Earrings // Celine Sunglasses
And just for fun here’s a shot of me being REAL awkward.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wicker bag before – but I do love the way you styled it, especially when paired with your slippers. It’s a nice alternative to the straw/basket bags I see everywhere nowadays! 🙂

thank you briana!!! urban outfitters has so many good rattan furniture pieces!
Love the dress( our favorite color! ) , so pretty on you! When I convert the Swedish Krona amount 2,876 =320.87 US that’s less than the other bag featured at 355.00. Am I missing something? Anyway, love it and am very tempted ( this has been going on for awhile….)
Oh you may be right! I can’t remember how much mine cost, I thought it was more around $400!
Whenever I caning now I think of you (in the best way); I just love everything about this look (and especially that colour on you).
Hope Havana was THE BEST!
