Farm Rio is one of my go-to brands for bold, seasonal pieces. Living in a subtropical climate, my clothing is easily more colorful than when I lived in NYC, and I always like an out-of-the-box piece to pair with simple jeans. Also, this is a great reminder to follow my first statement and opt for bolder, fun pieces.
While I think of Farm Rio as a clothing brand first, namely warm-weather-wear, the brand added a few bags to its repertoire recently, and I am entirely obsessed. Sure, a designer bag is my typical go-to – from a well-known brand, but I want to mix it up outside the box. I’m still riding that White Lotus-style high; I think about that last season at least a few times a day, and when I spotted these bags, they screamed White Lotus to me.
Gucci Interlocking GG houndstooth shoulder bag | A Summer Bag for Less than $100
I had to double-check the price of this bag more than once. It’s hard, like very hard, to find a bag under $100, especially one that is actually intricate. But this bag has detailed elements alongside a very resort-chic silhouette.
The Farm Rio Scarf Mini Bag is available in three variations: Maritime Portraite Multicolor, Bananart Green, and Dream Garden Red. Each features a printed satin handkerchief design with knotted accents that feel very tropical (again, the tie back to White Lotus Pre-owned Cross Body Bags).
The handles intrigue me even more. Each is crafted from carved wood and tied back to the print of the design. There is a fish, banana, and wood leaf handle.
If you want to know how much this bag and its price are impacting the handbag world, I have my eight-year-old daughter standing over my shoulder exclaiming, “It’s only $90!?! Oh my!” See, even she knows what’s up!
Finish the Look
Farm Rio gives every bit of an editorial flare regarding its clothing, and I need to start amping up my wardrobe for this summer season and beyond. If I had an endless clothing budget, I’d buy these items to pair with the bag or on their own.
These are lovely! Thanks for the introduction to this brand.
Soooo cute! I love the green one!!
