Product Insights
The Braided Straw Rounded Crossbody Bag from Simons, an exclusive designed-in-Canada piece from a 180-year-old Quebec retailer, offers a slim 0.75-inch profile that sits nearly flat against the body for a streamlined silhouette, acting as a focal accessory that pairs with denim, dresses, and flowy maxi dresses to balance boho looks. Its genuine braided straw body and interior zip and slit pockets provide value at $59 CAD—$9 below a comparable Simons bag—but capacity is limited to a smartphone and slim cards, with no room for a wallet or sunglasses. Durability requires care: avoid loads over 1 kg, the PU trim may peel, the shape may flatten (though tissue paper stuffing helps), and faux-leather needs humidity protection and conditioning. The bag transitions from city to beach into fall, especially in the Chocolate/Espresso colorway that matches brown prints, and is maintained with dry cloth wiping for straw and wipe-down for faux-leather after use.
Verified claims
- Capacity
- Fits a smartphone, including an iPhone Pro Max, and a cardholder, but not a full wallet or sunglasses case.
- Durability
- Avoid heavy loads; strap may peel and shape may flatten.
- Interior pockets
- Has internal zip and slit pockets.
- Design provenance
- Exclusive designed-in-Canada badge from 180-year-old Quebec retailer Simons.
- Value
- Genuine braided straw and two pockets at $29.95, $9 below Simons' comparable bag.
- Denim styling
- Pairs with denim basics as a lived-in focal accessory.
- Slim fit
- Sits nearly flat against the body for a streamlined silhouette.
- Dress pairing
- Rigid round frame adds structure to flowy maxi dresses.
- Silhouette balance
- Rigid round frame and slim strap balance flowy maxi dresses, preventing an overly boho look.
- Slim profile
- 0.75-inch depth lets the bag sit flat on the body; interior storage avoids visible bulge; shape persists with care.
- Seasonal extension
- Chocolate/Espresso colorway matches brown prints, extending season to fall.
- Versatility
- The bag works from city to beach and into fall with simple wardrobe swaps.
- Focal accessory
- Bag acts as a focal accessory, so minimal jewelry is enough.
- Cleaning
- Braided straw: dry or slightly damp cloth wipe; faux-leather: wipe after each use.
- Storage
- The bag’s rounded shape can be preserved by stuffing it with tissue paper when not in use.
- Faux-leather maintenance
- Faux-leather is vulnerable to humidity and wears first at corners; keep dry, avoid overloading, and condition.
- Packing
- Keep bag contents under 1–2 kg and use flat items to prevent bulging.
- Brand heritage
- Simons exclusive designed in Canada
- Material
- Genuine braided straw body, not printed polyester; the PU trim may peel and needs specialized care.
- Organization
- Interior has a zip pocket and a slit pocket, unlike Alilang's empty interior.
- Shape
- 0.75 deep—slimmest in class—but may flatten; tissue helps maintain shape.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Braided Straw Rounded Crossbody Bag: Choose this if you want a Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed crescent-style crossbody in dark brown braided straw with faux-leather accents and gold-tone hardware. It suits everyday hands-free carry with an adjustable strap, a secure zip top, and interior zip and slit pockets in a slim profile measuring about 7 inches tall by 12.25 inches long by 0.75 inches deep, lined in 100% polyester. Note that straw is a textured, delicate material, so it is best for light, casual use rather than heavy loads.[2,3,5] | Metallic Detail Crossbody Bag: Choose this if you want a compact crossbody for light carry—reviews say it holds a phone, cardholder, and keys, and the magnetic front pocket keeps them quick to reach. It suits shoppers who value recycled materials (100% recycled polyurethane exterior with recycled polyester lining) and versatility, since two included straps let you switch from casual crossbody to dressier shoulder bag. Be aware that owners report the interior is too small for more than bare essentials like a water bottle or small tablet, and the metallic finish that some say elevates simple outfits is a statement look in red.[6] | Small Rectangular Crossbody Bag: Choose this if you want a small, Simons-exclusive crossbody designed in Canada with a soft, unstructured rectangular pouch shape and a velvety faux suede body made of recycled polyester. It suits everyday hands-free carry with its adjustable leather crossbody strap, secure top zipper, and an interior with both a zip pocket and a slit pocket in a recycled polyester lining. At 4.25 inches tall, 9.75 inches long, and 5 inches wide in one size, it is a compact option, available in Chocolate/Espresso, Copper/Rust, and Navy/Midnight Blue.[7,8] |

Great for events
For me, it is smaller than anticipated but it is great for afternoon events when you’re u don’t have ALLthe necessary equipment
La paille reste la paille
J’en craignais la résistance. Et la forme n’est pas intéressante. Ce sac ne peut contenir grand-chose.
