We let loose come summertime, but our wallets need not follow suit. It’s the season when Frugal Snob options are aplenty, especially the beachy ones, and I intend to take full advantage. Nothing says summer more than raffia, and Mar y Sol knows a thing or two about that. The ethically minded brand creates handmade pieces perfect for vacation that will also get mileage back home in the real world. These two bags are all you’ll need on your island getaway. They’re made for relaxation at prices that will keep us relaxed pre-vacation (you don’t want to blow your budget on clothes and accessories before you even get there!). The chic wooden handle on the clutch adds a sense of polish to casual raffia style, while the tote is great for hands-free, easy living. Though the latter comes in a few color options, the clutch is where you can really have fun. Natural raffia is the neutral you can wear with any outfit, if you’re longing for summer color, but they also carry coral, sunflower, and navy. Juliette clutch
