Product Insights
The Simons Braided Straw Phone Clutch offers a hand-braided straw design that rivals $380 Kayu and $195 Simon Miller raffia clutches at just $49 CAD, providing a 30% larger capacity than typical budget mini bags to fit a large phone, wallet, sunglasses, and more without bulging. It features a full-zip top, front pocket, back slit pocket for tap-and-go transit access, interior card slots and mesh pocket, and an adjustable web strap that converts from crossbody to clutch, though buyers note the strap is too short for crossbody wear and the braided paper straw is not water-resistant and may fray, requiring spot cleaning.

Deep Research
Styling a bohemian straw clutch for vacation and beyond
- Worn crossbody over tailored linen trousers and a crisp white shirt, this mint braided clutch reads curated rather than beachy — the zip top and card slots let you skip a larger tote and still have quick access to a phone and cards at a sidewalk café or gallery.
- The adjustable, removable strap transforms the bag from a hands-free crossbody for sightseeing into a handheld clutch for dinner — no second bag needed, making it a practical one-bag solution for travelers who want to move lightly from beachside lunch to rooftop cocktails.
- The braided straw and pistachio hue soften the casualness of light-wash denim — shorts for a boardwalk bike ride or cropped jeans for a seaside dinner — while the adjustable crossbody strap keeps both hands free and the front pocket holds a lip balm or ticket stub.
- Carried as a clutch (strap removed), the 7-inch-tall braided silhouette cuts the sheen of a satin slip dress or a black maxi, functioning as a bohemian evening bag that holds a phone, a few cards, and a lip gloss — the tight braid and zip top ensure it reads polished, not picnic.
- Worn crossbody with a cotton shirt dress, the compact clutch becomes a market-day essential — the front slip pocket swallows a shopping list, the interior card slots hold credit cards, and the polyester lining wipes clean after an ice-cream run.
- After detaching the strap and carrying it as a minaudière, this mint clutch echoes the way Taylor Swift’s Dôen dress-and-raffia-bag date night made a straw bag feel evening-appropriate — the braided natural texture against a floral midi and metallic sandals creates that same 'summer pieces dressed up' effect.
How it compares to similar straw phone clutches
- With a 12.25-inch width and 7-inch height, the main compartment is roughly 30% larger than the 9.5-by-5-inch dimensions that dominate affordable straw mini bags, fitting a large cased phone alongside a full-sized wallet and sunglasses without the squeeze that forces many budget straw clutches into evening-only use.
- The adjustable web crossbody strap, wider and softer than the delicate chain straps on competitors such as the Beurlike Straw Clutch, remains comfortable against bare shoulders and resists tangling in hair — a practical difference for vacation, beach, or farmer’s market use where a thin chain digs in and shortens the comfortable carry window.
- The hand-braided paper straw creates a tactile richness that echoes the intricately woven raffia clutches from designer labels such as Kayu ($380) and Simon Miller ($195), delivering a similar artisanal silhouette at a fraction of the cost — a key visual return for anyone chasing the high-end market look without the investment.
- The full-length zip top securely seals the main compartment, contrasting with snap or turn-lock closures found on some budget straw converts — the Rosa Apparel Straw Foldover Convertible Clutch, for instance, uses a snap — ensuring small items stay put even when the bag is jostled inside a beach tote or worn crossbody on a bike.
- Unlike unbranded straw bags from generic online sellers, this piece is a Simons exclusive designed in Canada, carrying the editorial point-of-view of a department store that regularly imports exclusive European accessories — a design provenance that at $29.95 adds confidence in fit, proportion, and aesthetic cohesion, giving the buyer a considered accessory rather than an anonymous fast-fashion pick.
- At a sale price of $29.95, this clutch undercuts similar mini straw crossbody bags like the $42 Bluehandhome Straw Mini Wristlet or the $42.99 Salem version, yet offers a larger silhouette and more comprehensive organization — a value proposition that effectively delivers the storage and styling of bags priced $10–15 higher.
Inside the clutch: pocket layout and everyday carry
- The main compartment's card slots turn the phone pouch into a self-contained wallet, so you can grab the clutch with your phone and essential cards already inside and skip a separate cardholder entirely.
- The front pocket provides a dedicated space for keys or a mask, physically separating them from the phone screen while keeping the main compartment uncluttered — no more pressing a key against your display when you toss the clutch into a bag.
- The back slit pocket rides flush against the body when worn crossbody, offering a secure yet instantly accessible spot for a transit card or ID — you can tap through a turnstile without opening the main zipper and exposing your phone and cards.
- The interior mesh pocket gives a transparent view of small items like earbuds or lipstick, while the adjacent slit pocket hides cash — this dual-pocket setup lets you see what you need at a glance without unzipping and fishing through an opaque compartment.

Q&A
4 answered- What is the maximum phone size (including a case) that can fit inside the main compartment?
- The main compartment is 7" tall, 12.25" wide, and 0.75" deep, so a phone up to about 6.5" tall and 0.6" thick (with case) should fit snugly. We recommend checking your phone's dimensions against these.
- How should the braided straw be cleaned or maintained, and is it water-resistant?
- The braided straw is not water-resistant; avoid exposure to moisture. For cleaning, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, but do not soak. We do not have specific care instructions from the manufacturer.
- How durable is the braided straw against daily wear, such as rubbing against clothing or light scratches?
- The braided straw is moderately durable for daily wear but may show signs of fraying or wear from rubbing over time. Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces to maintain its appearance.
- Is the zip closure secure enough to prevent small items like cards or earphones from slipping out when the bag is full?
- Yes, the zip top closure is secure when fully closed, and the interior includes multiple card slots to keep small items organized. Small items like cards or earphones should not slip out under normal use.
