Product Insights
This Simons crossbody bag is crafted from engineered paper yarn that is lighter, breathable, and shape-retaining compared to natural straw, and it offers a larger 9.5x11.5-inch capacity that fits a tablet or small book. A polyester lining and two-layer closure (flap plus inner zipper) protect contents from sand and abrasion, while the coated exterior sheds light rain but can deform under prolonged moisture, earning a 3/5 durability rating. The tradeoff is a lightweight, comfortable carry with uniform color and texture, but limited resilience to wet conditions.
Verified claims
- Material
- The 70% paper is engineered paper yarn — uniform, colorfast, breathable, lighter than natural straw, and retains shape with tensile strength.
- Water resistance
- Water-resistant coating sheds light rain, but prolonged moisture deforms the bag.
- Interior protection
- Polyester lining and inner zip closure protect contents from sand and abrasion.
- Durability
- Coated paper straw repels light rain but loses stiffness if saturated; durability rating is 3/5.
- Carry & appearance
- Lighter than natural straw for comfortable all-day carry; uniform color and texture avoid fading and pilling.
- Capacity
- The 9.5x11.5-inch bag fits a tablet or small book, unlike mini straw bags at similar prices.
- Weight
- Paper straw construction is lighter than natural straw bags of comparable size, reducing shoulder strain during all-day wear.
- Comfort
- Polyester lining eliminates the abrasive interior common in unlined straw bags, and the paper straw is breathable.
- Lining
- Polyester lining eliminates the abrasive interior common in unlined straw bags, and the inner zip closure adds a barrier against sand; the coated paper straw sheds light rain.
- Closure
- Flap and inner zipper create a two-layer closure: flap deters, zipper secures.
- Inner zip closure
- The inner zip closure secures the main compartment under the flap; it is not a separate compartment.
- Capacity
- With a 9.5-inch height and 11.5-inch length, this bag holds a tablet, beach towel, or small paperback, well beyond phone-and-cards mini straw bags.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Openwork Pattern Straw Rectangular Crossbody Bag: Choose this if you want a light brown, rectangular straw crossbody with a visible openwork crochet pattern, sized about 11.5 inches long by 9.5 inches high and offered in one size. It has a braided straw strap, a fold-over flap with a scalloped edge, an inner top zip closure, and a polyester lining that shows through the open weave. Note it is made of soft paper straw (70% paper, 30% polyester), so it suits lighter, warm-weather use rather than heavy daily wear.[1,2,3,4] | Half-Moon Braided Straw Crossbody Bag: Choose this if you want a lightweight straw crossbody for summer errands, beach outings, or travel—it holds a phone, wallet, and keys, packs flat in luggage, and its neutral straw hue pairs with warm-weather outfits. It's made of 100 percent paper straw with a zip top, adjustable web strap, and two interior slit pockets, offered in one size across Black, Ivory/Cream Beige, Hazelnut, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Fuchsia. Be aware the half-moon shape limits usable space to slim essentials, the wide silhouette may overwhelm petite frames, and the natural straw can appear paler in person than online.[5] | Basketweave Faux-Leather Crossbody Bag: Choose this if you want a compact faux-leather crossbody with a woven basketweave front and side panels, a smooth matte finish, and a secure full-width top zipper. It measures about 7 inches high by 10.5 inches long by 3.5 inches deep, with an internal zip pocket and a slit pocket inside a polyester lining, plus an adjustable narrow strap with a metal buckle. It comes in one size in Black and Ecru/Linen, so it suits those after a small, soft-structured everyday bag rather than a large carryall.[6,7,8] |
