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.

Traveler Bag

This bag is made out of soft woven material and will be comfortable to carry on your shoulder for big farmer’s market hauls or long beach days.

Mini Basket Bag

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.

Green Straw Shoulder Bag

I love the pop of color this green bag will add to any outfit. You can wear this bag as a shoulder bag or just hold it as a top handle bag.

Transport Straw Tote

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.

Straw Shoulder Handbag

This straw shoulder bag is the perfect way to participate in the straw trend if big beach totes aren’t your thing. It would look so cute with a silk slip dress.

Rafia Basket Bag

This adorable handbag is under $50 and can also be worn crossbody with the removable strap. The lining includes an interior bag with drawstring closure so you won’t have to worry about any of your stuff falling out. It’s also available with orange detailing.

Brunch Date Clutch

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.

Paloma Basket Bag

Go ahead and ditch your canvas tote for the spring and summer months and use this spacious basket bag instead. I love the double-pocket design.

Joey Tote

I love the unique ruffle trim on this blue and tan woven tote bag. Pair it with matching blue heels for a flirty night out look.
