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.

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.
