Few things feel as quintessentially 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?
Straw bags peaked in popularity two summers ago, with basket bags, rattan crossbodies and slouchy woven totes pervading the zeitgeist en masse. As far as summer 2019 was concerned, straw was the new black—and summer 2021 only promises to strengthen the straw bag’s seasonal stranglehold over the sartorial sphere. Classic clutches and picnic baskets are, of course, on offer. But wicker bucket bags and cheeky totes are as abundant as these timeless go-tos.
In other words? Your straw bag options are endless—at least, they feel endless. If you’ve been fighting the cottagecore aesthetic, now’s the time to lean in and get yourself a straw bag. And a wicker bag. And a rattan bag. You need your options!

This tote was designed for a collab with The Salty Blonde, so it’s definitely influencer-approved. I love the tonal ombre colorway for extra-beachy vibes—tons of space for your stuff in there, too.

Perry Bombé Mini Straw Bag
Oh, so you want a logo?! Don’t sleep on Tory Burch’s very chic array of straw bags, including the best-selling Perry Bombé. If you use a similar camera bag silhouette in leather for winter, consider this a necessary summer upgrade.

This little white top-handle bag has a strap made of chunky wooden beads. Is it super practical? I guess not—but I just love the way it looks, don’t you? The drawstring lining also comes in a cute peachy pattern!
