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.
