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 last summer, with basket bags, rattan crossbodies and slouchy woven totes pervading the zeitgeist en masse. As far as summer 2018 was concerned, straw was the new black—and summer 2019 only promises to strengthen the straw bag’s seasonal stranglehold over the sartorial sphere. Classic totes and picnic baskets are, of course, on offer. But colorful shell-covered bucket bags and fruit-inspired kitschy clutches are as abundant as these timeless go-tos.

In other words? Your straw bag options are endless—at least, they feel endless. There are exactly 95 days in the summer (yes, I did just pull out my calendar and count that one out), meaning you have plenty of opportunities to put your favorite straw bags on display (all the more reason to shop them in droves—eh?).
