The warmth and natural textures of canvas, raffia, and straw we often see in summer designer handbags are an easy way to elevate a look with minimal effort. Not to mention, they’re a practical addition to your summer wardrobe! Especially those luxe, roomy totes that can fit everything for travel, work, and more. I recently took this straw handbag with me on our babymoon to Nantucket and it is officially my favorite bag for summer. It was the perfect tote to carry while traveling and was so versatile to pair with different outfits! But selecting the right style is key because, when done right, a designer bag will go with everything, can be passed down, and increase in value. I spent the last few months on a search for designer summer bags that check all the boxes. So today I wanted to share my favorite bag for summer and a few more to add to your wishlist. I hope it inspires you to find a style that you’ll be ready to wear all season long!
I’ve had my eye on the Loewe basket bag for so long and I’m so glad I finally pulled the trigger! It’s available in a few colorways and 3 different sizes (I went with the medium). Something about this straw tote screams summer— just begging to be filled with a nautical sweater, a fresh bouquet, and timeless sunglasses. Since it doesn’t have any inside pockets or a top closure, I added this canvas pouch to keep anything inside from falling out. It fits perfectly alongside my wallet, sunglass case, and phone.
It was so hard to narrow this list down to just a handful of my favorite designer straw bags for summer, but I hope this gives you a good start in your search for the perfect bag! And for my budget-conscious ladies, J.Crew and Mango typically have beautiful summer bags under $100! I’ll be sure to do a more affordable round-up soon as well.
