So, remember the Spring 2010 Dries Van Noten Woven Raffia Bootie I was raving about last month in this blog?

Well, I guess it isn’t a surprise to see that other brands are also doing the woven trend for shoes this coming season.
Bottega Veneta and Donna Karan are keeping a more country-looking flavor by using the organic raffia on spring wedges:

While Charlie My Love (which by the way offers this really cute pair of Woven Flat Oxfords) and other brands like Cynthia Vincent, Donald J. Pliner, Stuart Weitzman and even the really affordable Jessica Simpson, are doing their own interpretation via woven and braided leather materials.
Charlie My Love Nico Woven Flat Oxfords, US$264
Charlie My Love ATM Knotted Woven Bootie, US$384
Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Coco Woven Flat Sandals, US$250
Stuart Weitzman Woveme, US$325
Donald J. Pliner Alita, US$260
Jessica Simpson Cane, US$69
Even men’s shoes are going with this trend. Check out this pair from Johnston and Murphy:

Either way, we really can’t ignore the fact that anything woven will be hot for spring and summer, so why not give your wallet a run for its money by purchasing these wonderful shoes?
