Best Summer BagsAs soon as the warm weather hits, I like to swap out my leather and suede bags for a straw or rattan tote. Years ago the options for straw bags were so basic and didn’t look good with work outfits or outfits that weren’t super casual. Fast forward to now and there are so many amazing styles that work for any summer outfits you could wear. In this post, I rounded up 14 of my favorite straw bag options to carry this summer.

14 Best Summer Bags to Carry

Staud Moon Rafia Tote Bag

This bag is a statement and I absolutely love it! The added straw details on the edge of the moon shape is my favorite thing about this purse.

Vanessa Bruno Cabas Large Tote Bag

Metallics are neutrals in my opinion but add something extra to a bag. Without the silver details, this bag wouldn’t be that exciting but I love how the sequins make this so much more fabulous.

Clare V. Summer Simple Tote

Not everyone wants a summer bag with tons of flair so this is a great option that is simple yet still super chic.

Liffner Straw Basket Bag

If you are looking for a straw bag that isn’t the typical light cream color, this bag combines so many great neutral tones to make it different than your average straw bag.

A.L.C. Sid Bag

It’s the shape for me. I am obsessed with the shape of this bag. This is a great summer style bag that you can wear in a more urban setting without feeling like you are carrying a beach bag with your work outfit.

Reformation Medium Vittoria Tote Bag

I love the mix of leather and straw in this bag and the bow detail on the shoulder makes it a bit more unique than a regular shoulder bag.

BTB Los Angeles Harper Hobo Bag

Another great option if you want something that isn’t all one color and has different tones and textures to it.

Manebi Summer Bag

If you are looking for something classic and timeless, this straw bag is so minimal in the best possible way.

Hunting Season Large Origami Bag

I love that straw bags have evolved so much over the years and there are options now that are summer specific but don’t feel like a beach bag.

Alemais Dee Dee Maxi Basket Tote

If I had to choose a favorite out of this entire group, this is the bag I would pick. It is a STUNNER!!!

Zimmerman Goldentime Medium Tote

And this would probably be my second favorite bag out of the group. I love the structured handle on this and the zebra pattern that doesn’t feel too tacky either. It’s a chic animal print that won’t look out of date by the next year.

Pamela Munson Isla Bahia Navy Tote

The ribbon detail combined with the woven straw detail is an unexpected combination that works really well. I love this bag as a slightly dressier option if you want to carry a straw tote but don’t want something too casual.

Anine Bing Lou Tote Monogram

I have a few Anine Bing bags and they are some of my favorites. This tote is super simple and chic and I really appreciate the leather handles which are a more durable choice.

LSPACE Changing Tides Tote

LSPACE makes so many great bags for bringing on vacation and bringing to the beach or pool. This would be a great pool bag but you could also wear it to dinner later that evening with a chic sundress and sandals.
