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.

Phone wallet for commutes and errands
Carry your phone, cards, and small essentials in one compact clutch on daily commutes or errand runs. Reviewers describe it as practical with a good size that holds the basics without excess bulk, though capacity feedback is limited to a single mention. The zip top, card slots, and front, back, and interior pockets keep everything organized, while the adjustable crossbody strap lets you go hands-free.[1,2,3,4]
Hands-free carry on the adjustable shoulder strap
The Braided Straw Phone Clutch comes with an adjustable wide fabric shoulder strap, so you can carry it hands-free over your shoulder while shopping, traveling, or out for the day. Note that some reviewers found the strap too short to sit comfortably across the body as a true crossbody, and were happier wearing it as a shoulder bag instead.[1,3]
A cute straw clutch for brunches and date nights
Reviewers describe the braided straw design as 'trop cute', calling this compact clutch a stylish, conversation-starting piece for outings like date nights or brunch. It has a zip top, an adjustable crossbody strap, and pockets and card slots inside to keep essentials organized.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Braided Straw Phone Clutch: Choose this if you want a compact braided straw clutch that carries a phone and essentials without bulk — reviewers praise its practical, good size for daily errands and call the design a cute standout for date nights or brunch. It has a zip top, front and back slip pockets, an interior mesh pocket, and card slots, in one size offered in Red and Mint/Pistachio Green. Note that while it comes with an adjustable web crossbody strap, multiple reviewers found the strap too short for comfortable crossbody wear, so it works best as a shoulder or handheld clutch rather than for hands-free carry.[1] | Woven Straw And Leather Phone Clutch Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a compact, hands-free option for evenings out, travel, or minimalist everyday carry: a woven straw-and-leather clutch with a zip top, gold-tone hardware, and an adjustable, removable crossbody strap, imported from Italy in a Chocolate/Espresso finish. Per customer reviews, its interior fits a phone (even with a case), cards, lipstick, and sunglasses without weighing you down, though the bag is slim at about 0.5 inches deep, so it suits light packing rather than a full handbag load.[5,6] | Basketweave Phone Clutch: Choose this if you want a slim, hands-free phone carrier: it is a faux leather clutch with a woven basketweave front panel, fabric lining, and a knotted crossbody strap, measuring 8 inches tall by 4.75 inches long and about half an inch deep. It comes in one size in Black, Off White, or Chocolate/Espresso, with tonal top stitching and small metallic corner details. Note that the top fastening appears to be a small silver-toned clasp or hinge whose exact function was not confirmed, so verify the closure suits how you carry your phone.[7,8,9] |
