The Straw Handbag Makes A Comeback

We may not be in Kansas, but Dorothy certainly updated her straw basket with this season's new chic tote. Imagine yourself walking along the beach with the perfect straw bag in hand, your toes in the sand, and a big floppy hat- perfection!

These designers are taking straw to the next level in every shape and style from crossbodies, satchels, and wristlets. For all you bagistas out there, the straw trend is making a comeback!
