If you're going on a beach vacation (or even just running to the grocery store), there's no better summer accessory to bring with you than one of the best straw bags.

You may have noticed that in the past couple of years almost everyone has been carrying around a circular straw purse. It seems no one can get enough of this summery look! But that's far from the only straw bag style out there. Between the rattan bags, handwoven bags, and colorful straw bags on this list, you've got plenty of options. You'll even find some straw clutches and embellished straw bags that are dressed up with intricate floral designs or sparkly rhinestones. While these picks might be best suited to occasions like brunch or a date night, there are plenty of options here that are perfect for everyday wear.
