Product Insights
A lightweight, collapsible paper straw tote from Lauren Ralph Lauren that expands to fit a 13-inch laptop and undercuts premium rivals like Tory Burch, but its soft braid slouches when empty and its single leather slip pocket trades compartments for a cleaner profile.
Verified claims
- Material
- Paper straw body is fiber-dyed, moderately durable, 10-15% lighter than natural straw, and uniformly braided.
- Silhouette
- Soft paper straw braid yields a tote that collapses against the body and slouches when empty.
- Value
- At $495 CAD ($299.95 sale), the Kyla undercuts Tory Burch straw totes and premium raffia bags.
- Carry behavior
- Collapses when carried, slouches when empty, expands when stuffed.
- Construction
- 100% paper straw construction makes the bag lightweight and slouchy.
- Durability
- Uniform dyeing hides scuffs from drop-and-go use; spot-clean only.
- Leather handles
- Leather handles develop patina with use and have a comfortable 6.25-inch drop.
- Interior pocket
- Interior leather slip pocket resists pilling and fraying from keys.
- Heritage details
- Includes an interior heritage plaque and a dust bag, a differentiator from comparable straw totes.
- Practicality
- Lightweight at 567 g, fits a 13-inch laptop, and adapts to load size but collapses when empty.
- Size family
- Standard Kyla uses soft braided paper straw; larger sizes offer smooth paper or leather/jute.
- Portability
- The lightweight 567 g bag has a 6.25-inch handle drop and fits a 13-inch laptop.
- Competitor comparison
- Slightly smaller than Michael Kors Naomi Large with a cleaner interior layout.
- Cleaning
- Spot clean with mild soap and soft brush; air-dry away from heat.
- Color
- Fiber-level dyeing prevents scuffs from revealing a pale base.
- Leather patina
- Cow leather top handles soften and develop a natural patina with use.
- Storage
- Use the included dust bag to protect from dust and light when storing.
- Pocket configuration
- Single slit pocket trades multiple compartments for a neater profile.
- Dust bag
- Includes a signature dust bag for protective storage.
- Weight
