Summer’s not over yet! There is still about two months left worth of summer vacation time if we’re talking temperature-wise. Plus, visiting beach-side tourist spots in September will give you all the same summer feels but with half the people around. It’s seriously such a good trick, so there’s no reason to feel bad about still shopping for summer fashion accessories even though August is almost over.
Speaking of, we spotted the best summer handbags at Target that include tote styles, crossbody styles, and mini bags that are too cute to pass up. And dare we say, they bear a dangerously close resemblance to Loewe’s raffia bags. Raffia is a type of straw that Loewe uses in their wicker bags, so the result is durability meets cute summer style. However, if you’re after the cute summer style vibe and you’re on a budget, Target’s options definitely get the job done. Here are the bags we’re eyeing now.
This straw basket bag from Target looks so similar to Loewe’s calfskin basket bag that retails for $650. Grab it from the Loewe website here. And if you’re looking for a cheaper option, pick up this Target bag that’s just $45.
If you want something smaller, this mini tote is the perfect size to carry all of your essentials, and still fit in your carry-on bag. The interior zip pocket will keep your valuable secure. This Target version is so similar to the Loewe small basket bag that’s $590.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-travel-with crossbody option, this $30 straw bag from Target with the faux leather flap is a great option. It’s strikingly similar to Loewe’s pochette bag, minus the drawstring bag feature at the top.
If you’re looking for a simpler straw option that you can use as a beach bag, this straw tote from Target does the trick. It’s large enough to fit a towel, sunscreen, and even a juicy romance novel. Plus, it’s only $35. It’s a great dupe when you compare it to Loewe’s medium size raffia tote that retails for over $1,000.
