STRAW BAG FOR SUMMER

Shanus — Sat, 04 May 2024 12:51:21 GMT

I'm looking for a straw bag (crossbody) for summer. I'd like to switch out of my black bag for several months.

Anyone seeing some cute ones?

@Shanus I love straw bags, they're so 1940s-1950s I think. They were the cat's meow back in my day. I had one in high school that I really loved.

Fast forward many many years later, I found a very similar one in a second hand store, still have it too but I don't use it and I have no idea why!!!

I hope you can find a great one for the Summer.

Brighton has some cute crossbody organizer straw bags but they are a bit pricey.

The nicer ones are pricey, but try Amazon. They tend to be large -

most are referred to as beach bags, but you may find something.

There are many straw crossbody bags on Amazon. Just use those words in your search.

Hi@Shanus,

Try Macy's in the search bar. I was in the store yesterday and they had quite a few, I was surprised.

Agree with Brighton. Pricey but will last forever.

@Shanus I bought 2 really cute straw bags at the end of last summer from target. They seemed to be well made, if you are interested in a less expensive type of bag.

Patricia Nash has some. I don't care for them, myself.

She also has some crochet ones . I got the dark pink

For a crossbody straw might not be a good option. It can catch on clothing. Raffia is somewhat better. Maybe a tote?

TJ Maxx had sooo many cute ones. A few included straw hats, too.

Here in FL, only gals who carry straw bags are the tourists. 😄

@Shanus, I think Talbots may have some. I have one that was a birthday present from a friend so I'm not buying a new one this year.

As others have said, try Amaxxn

The Sak has some cute straw bags I'm looking at - larger bucket totes and crossbodies too-- one with turtles and one with flowers. The totes are really sharp patterns IMO and the crossbodies are more whimsical. I'll try to post a couple examples...

those are very cute @Cathyshopper I like the first one in particular.
