This summer, consider carrying a woven straw tote bag off the beach…and to a lunch date or shopping trip. Straw totes are certainly a bag trend this season, and an easy one to pull off effortlessly! Large or small, this year’s straw handbags come in virtually every price-point, color and by most every major bag designer. The trick is to find a bag, that while it may double as a beach bag, looks more like a true handbag than just a throw-your-beach-towels-in-it tote!

Tory Burch’s Slouchy Synthetic Straw Tote, $350, is the perfect everyday tote with two handle options. Though the bright-orange contrast color is fun, this bag also comes in a more neutral silver and gold.

The artsy-flower on this Cole Haan Straw Tote, $198, is so cute! I purchased this bag for a client recently and loved it!

If you’re looking for a cost-consious straw summer bag, this hobo style at Target by the Merona Collection is super cute inside and out. The inside has a fun black and white geometric pattern.

Stylishly yours, Lauren www.editbylauren.com
