Against the Grain

These gorgeous wooden bags have a fantastic artisanal vibe and are the perfect way to branch out this season.  Natural textures like raffia, wood and jute are all the rage right now, as seen on the spring runways at Burberry, Marni and Hermès, and lend an eclectic element to any ordinary outfit.  Wear the clutch out with your slinky summer dresses or throw on the raffia cross body bag to dial up your weekend looks.  The only question:  If your bag falls in the forest and nobody's around, does it still make a sound?

The Wonder Wood Clutch ($118) and Raffia Cross Body Bag ($58) are both available now at French Connection
