Best straw bags for summer travel.

My family and I have been heading to a lot of warm-weather destinations lately and the one thing I didn’t have was a straw bag. The bags and purses I have at home are mostly leather and dark colors. They have never been the right choice for the beach or really anywhere in the summer. A bag that’s lighter in both color and weight is preferable so I finally decided to buy a straw bag that perfectly complements all my summer outfits, thanks to its summery, neutral color.

So – if you’re headed on a beach vacation, a European getaway or really anywhere this summer, consider ditching your dark and heavy everyday bag for one of these beautiful straw bags to lighten and brighten your summer style.
