Summer Style Trend Alert: Straw Handbags

It’s that time of the year again- Summer Style Trend Alert! Straw bags are back..

Do you know what I love about the warmer months? They have this way of inviting casual styles to take their place in the spotlight. One of my favorite so-called trends that support that casual summer vibe is the straw handbag. Can you blame me though? Nothing is as airy or as laid back as a great straw bag! My only regret is that straw handbags tend to not hold up very well to the wear and tear of summer fun. That is why I try not to invest too much money into this style. That way, if my straw handbag starts looking a little ratty, the thought of tossing it out isn’t as heart wrenching as a more expensive style would be. Below you will find some straw handbags that seem to fit the bill.
