One of my favorite things about the arrival of warm weather is pulling my assortment of favorite straw and wicker bags down from the top shelf of my closet. Is there anything better than a little wicker basket bag or an oversized straw tote with a simple summer outfit? Even the most casual outfits — think beach cover-ups or denim shorts — can be transformed with a classic straw bag. Every year I round up the best straw bags, raffia bags, and wicker bags in different shapes. My summer wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without all my straw totes and wicker baskets so I hope this post helps you find one or two of your own new summer staples!
The best straw and wicker bags for summer
Mme. Mink Astrud raffia tote // Mark & Graham wicker clutch // Mme. Mink Carlton basket bag
Mme. Mink Audrey basket bag // Pamela Munson Park tote // Pamela Munson pearl wicker clutch
Mme. Mink Mallory basket bag // Pamela Munson Jane basket bag // Mme. Mink Onassis basket bag
Mark & Graham scalloped raffia tote // Mark & Graham raffia clutch // Ann Mashburn straw tote
Mme. Mink makes the most gorgeous straw and wicker bags and I think I’m finally going to take the plunge on this raffia tote before we leave for Nantucket. The slouchier silhouette looks like the perfect mom tote for summer. I have this basket bag of hers in the cornflower blue and it’s such a fun statement piece — I think the white is super chic!
I invested in this pearl wicker clutch a couple years ago and it’s been my go-to for every spring and summer wedding since. If you want a similar look for less, this Mark & Graham style is extremely well-priced!
