Favorite Handwoven Rattan & Straw Tote Bags

For all occasions on my shopping list that bring instant summer vibes (starting at Just $28!)

I’m one of the rare ones who doesn’t dream of, long for, or fully embrace summertime. Truthfully, I often find myself feeling a bit unmotivated or underwhelmed by typical summer fashion. But if there’s one warm-weather wardrobe staple I genuinely look forward to as the days stretch longer and the sunlight begins to warm up, it’s this: a beautifully handwoven rattan or straw tote bag.

Even though I’m not a summer lover, handwoven rattan and straw bags are how I quietly welcome the season. They look like summer—light, natural, and effortlessly beautiful. There’s something undeniably magnetic about their organic textures, sculptural silhouettes, and timeless neutral tones. They add just the right touch of texture—like sunshine for your ensemble. A well-crafted straw tote never competes with your look; instead, it complements it, blending seamlessly with flowing whites, earthy palettes, or even vibrant resort wear. It’s that subtle yet transformative detail that makes these bags a summer staple.

That’s exactly why I’ve rounded up 13 woven favorites—from charming market totes to elevated top-handle designs—that effortlessly channel that vacation-ready vibe and are perfect for carrying you through all your summer moments—effortlessly. And the best part? They start at just $28.
