Today I thought I’d share some of the best wicker bags and straw handbags for spring and summer.
As the weather warms up and spring turns into summer, it’s time to swap out your heavy winter bags for something lighter and breezier.
Wicker bags are the perfect solution – and for good reason.
Wicker Bags for Spring and Summer
This collection of wicker bags are lightweight, stylish, and perfect for carrying all your essentials.
No wonder they’ve become a quintessential part of warm-weather wardrobes!
It’s safe to say this look started with Jane Birkin and her famous original wicker bag.
Fast forward to today – there are now tons of iterations of the woven style bag, so I thought I’d narrow down the selection by featuring several of my favorites here.
This post also includes bamboo bags, the best designer straw bags, and the best raffia bags, and not the ones at the luxury price point.
Saint Laurent YSL Crochet Raffia Hobo
Starting with this splurge of mine from last year, which I’m excited to start wearing again this season.
Truly the perfect straw handbag for me, love both the look and the hands free functionality of a cross body bag!
Although you can also comfortably wear it as a shoulder bag too, if this is more your style.
I especially love how it looks with all white outfits.
Pamela Munson Shell Clutch
I love all the innovative designs from this label, but this shell shape clutch is my current favorite.
If you’re looking for more of an elegant rattan evening bag, this statement bag with a pearl closure from Pamela Munson is so much fun, making it a great pick.

Loewe Leather Trimmed Basket Bag
Another perfect bag, the Loewe basket bag has been on my radar for a quite some time now.
This classic straw bag comes in several sizes and always looks so chic.
It’s already stood the test of time as one of the best basket bags you can buy as it would make for a great everyday bag in the warmer months.

The Ark Bag
This is the quintessential wicker bag for the summer.

It’s made of bamboo and has a unique half-moon shape that is sure to turn heads.
The Ark Bag is available in various sizes and different colors, making it versatile and easy to match with all of your summer outfits.
Free People woven tote
Next up is this Free People woven tote bag.
This is a great option for for those who need a larger bag.

The bag is made of woven straw and has leather handles, giving it a rustic, bohemian vibe – in other words, everything I’d want in a straw beach bag.
Ulla Johnson Mini Woven Bag
If you’re looking for something smaller and more compact, the Ulla Johnson Mini Woven Bag above, is a great choice.
This stylish straw bag has an open top and is made of woven rattan and has a bucket shape, making it perfect for carrying your essentials during the summer months.
It even has a cross body strap for easy carrying.
Kayu St. Tropez Wicker Tote
This tote is a great option for those who want a straw tote bag with a classic, timeless look.
It’s made made of natural wicker and has a simple, elegant design.

Bali Harvest Round Woven Bag
The Bali Harvest Round Wicker Purse is another great option for those who want a smaller, more compact bag.
This bag is made of woven rattan and has a circular shape with a drawstring closure.
It comes in a variety of colors and has a long shoulder strap for easy carrying.
Colorful Wicker Bags
If black bags are more you’re thing, or you’re looking for a fun pop of color to complete your summer look, many of these raffia bags come in several hues other than the natural color.
For example, Saks Fifth Avenue carries several colorful options, including this adorable Marni bag and this cute Ulla Johnson purse above – (love the modern look and elegant top-handle on this one!)
