Love the raffia bags! Another one I’ve had my eye on is the tanner bag from Janessa Leone 👍

The Céline tote with the trench and the messy hair is exactly how I want to look this spring!

One of my favorite late winter activities is perusing woven and raffia bags on Etsy. The only problem is narrowing down what I want 😅. I love the juxtaposition of yours with the wool herringbone blazer. Definitely gonna gave to recreate that soon ☺️.

Your Marni bag is quite special! I’m going to purchase the Etsy one you shared. Close enough to the Loewe one — and I like that longer strap. Thanks for sharing! 🤍

It used to come in black, too. I went to the edges of the internet and back to find it and came up with only one link. I was so bummed I couldn't find more! It's possible that Gab Waller might be able to find it. The Etsy carryall strap length looks perfect. Let me know how if you like it? x

Metier made a tiny bag like the giant Stella bag (ooooo love & thanks for showing .. so pretty).. the metier is part of their Indiana jones (but why) line. I tied a small terry Donni bag inside after I lost a few sets of keys 🔑 🤣🤣#worthit

Meg, I fully support & applaud you going back to “paid” ~ this is a big time commitment & you’re creating strong content 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Also… somehow (even tho I’m a “payer” ur Substack dropped off my menu of “paid” on mobile app & I have to hunt for it… so I’m hoping that resolves now that you’re flipping back .. I’ll let u know xo

JCrew has some great ones now- I saw a clutch and a tote in the store today.

Meg, how do you deal with the raffia snagging on fabric? Had a beach bag that I got rid of because it ruined so many sweaters! Thanks xx

I adore the raffia push as we wade through these last weeks of winter — I bought the Etsy bag as it’s adorable and perfectly oversized.

I love that your Dorsey team has creative outlets outside of work — and brava to you for turning on paid again. I’m happy to have paid here from the start as I, a fellow substack writer, appreciate how much it takes to craft these ongoing.
