We can all thank Jane Birken for giving straw bags a fashion platform in the 1960s. Her innovative style choice served as her go-to carryall for market runs and socialite events. She ignited a trend that reigns tried and true today. But what once exclusively came in Birken's signature basket style has seen a resurgence over the last few decades in the accessories world, and the most popular style comes in the form of tote bags.
Straw tote bags are available at every major designer label, contemporary retailers, and even in the fast fashion world. This seasonal staple will elevate any summer outfit, whether you’re actually hitting the sand to lay out or just dressing for the vibe. From vacation and resort wear to everyday occasions, these bags are versatile and effortlessly chic.
