As you dress up for all your al fresco dinners, music festivals, beach days, and summer weddings, a straw bag in the mix is the ultimate finishing touch for peak summer vibes. Whether raffia, straw, or woven leather, these accessories instantly bring that laidback, vacation-ready energy to any outfit.
From oversized straw totes and raffia crossbodies to woven leather basket bags and mini rattan clutches, there’s a shape, size, and texture for every summer scenario. (Though, we’ll always have a soft spot for a do-it-all style that goes from beach to bar and beyond.)
Ahead, browse our favorite woven creations — ready to carry you through every sunny adventure this season.
For picnics, farmers market runs, and vacations, a straw tote bag is your summer MVP. The easy, oversized silhouette fits all the essentials (plus every knick-knack you pick up along the ways) and easily doubles as a beach bag — or even a work bag, depending on the day.
Go hands-free with a crossbody bag for running errands, long walks, or dancing at concerts. Look for structured shapes or cinched bucket silhouettes with leather trims for added durability — and versatility to wear them to dressier events, too.
Throw on a milkmaid dress, slip into ballet flats, tie your hair back with a ribbon, and grab a basket bag to live your best “tomato girl summer.” This mid-size silhouette strikes the right balance — just roomy enough for daytime essentials, yet polished enough for cocktail-hour RSVPs.
Whether you’re drawn to a slouchy raffia hobo or a cylindrical baguette, shoulder bags bring a fresh twist to everyday styling. Think braided straps, sculptural hardware, and leather accents that make these feel a step above your standard summer carryall.
Small in size, big on charm. These mini straw styles — from dainty top handles to playful clutches — are made for weddings, date nights, and everything in between. Bonus points for shell shapes or nautical details that nod to a sunkissed fisherman aesthetic.
