Few things feel as quintessentially spring and summer as the go-to straw bag. Endlessly classic, straw bags have earned a spot on every summer shopping list—and with good reason. They’re as fit for a day at the park as they are for a trip to the office, and they’re as convenient as they are cute. I mean, at this point, need I really say more?
I just spent a month living and working in Mallorca, Spain and the straw bag was one fashion trend that locals and tourists alike could get behind. Whether people were heading to the grocery store, local market, beach or a coffee date, they all had a straw bag on their shoulders. I immediately ditched the worn-out canvas tote bag I typically use for my errands and switched to a straw tote. Not only did my straw bag fit more than my tote ever did but it looked significantly cuter with all of my outfits.

You don’t have to be on a beach vacation to get in on the look. Straw bags can have the same fashionable and functional impact in the city or in the suburbs. Plus, they come in so many shapes, colors and sizes that it’s easy to find one to fit your vision and lifestyle.

Instead of opting for a traditional handbag for your next event, switch things up with a mini-basket bag. This one would look amazing with a floral or ruffle dress.

If you’ve already watched the Barbie movie trailer 100 times (like I have), you’ll love this pink straw beach tote. It’s lined with canvas which creates a cute contrast with the pink.

Small Leather-Trimmed Woven Raffia Tote
Every summer, some version of the Loewe woven tote becomes the new ‘it’ bag. This bag is pricey in terms of straw bag prices but a great deal if you compare it to the cost of a typical Loewe bag. You’ll be able to wear it for years to come so think of it as an investment piece.

Ast the name suggests, this colorful bag will take you from brunch to the beach and back. It can be worn as a clutch with the top handle or as a long boho shoulder bag with a removable strap. It comes in four different cheerful color options.
