Nothing says summer quite like great straw bags. The moment the weather warms up, I find myself reaching for one almost every day. Whether it’s a casual lunch, a weekend getaway, a day at the farmers market, or dinner al fresco, a straw or rattan bag instantly adds that effortless summer feeling to any outfit.
The best ones are both beautiful and practical—easy to carry, versatile, and capable of making even the simplest white tee and jeans feel a little more special. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites below, from classic investment pieces to affordable finds that look far more expensive than they are.
The Classic Choice: Mark & Graham Sausalito Tote, $69
A little bit preppy, a little bit Southern, and a lot of charm! This tote will take you from the beach to the pool to the farmer’s market in the blink of an eye.
The Cutting Edge: Staud Moon Raffia Tote, $350
The moon shape and clean lines feel a little different from the usual slouchy straw. This is a straw bag that works just as well in the big city as it does on the beach.
