The Samantha by Straw Studios is an everyday hobo for less.

Considering its brand name, the secret to the affordable price should come as no surprise. Paper straw might not be the most durable material around, but it is dirt cheap. It's also easy to color, so we can pick up the Samantha in conservative brown or navy, or more vibrant fuchsia and lime green.

The woven straw body has a unique texture which reminds me of the crocheting my grandma used to do when I was a kid. Rather than seeming old fashioned, the finish is classic and just a little bit kitsch. Trust me; it's a good thing!

It looks so simple on the outside, but the Samantha doesn't skimp on the details. It's fully lined in cotton, and has a sunken zip closure to keep your essentials safe inside. I wouldn't mind more than the single open pocket, but for just $32 retail I'm not about to quibble!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, everyone is thinking about romance. While some bags take it to extreme, Stone Mountain opts for subtlety with the Love Street Dome Satchel.

The red leather finish is romantic, and surprisingly affordable at just $76 retail (and even less right now at Amazon on sale!). But so many bags are made from red leather. Stone Mountain needed something more to make this Love Street bag worthy of its name, and that comes in the form of a cute golden heart. The gleaming accent matches the studs which are dotted about the bag.

It's not a large bag by any means, but the classic dome shape helps make the most of the space it does have. The playfully spotted interior has a large zippered pocket, a slip for your cell, and a cosmetics pouch for your gloss and eyeliner.

The dual handles look a little too long for the bag's size, but I'm willing to forgive that. After all, the longer the straps the easier the carrying!

It doesn't have the world's most innovative design, but the Love Street Dome Satchel does have a certain charm!
