5 Popular Summer Handbags

Hi everyone! Summer is just around the corner (I know my teacher friends are jumping for joy) and with that comes a whole new opportunity to update your summer handbag collection. I love a good straw handbag paired with a breezy sundress. Or a woven tote on the beach! Below I’ve rounded up 5 options ideal for this season.

These may look familiar to you as I’ve already been putting them to use. Hey — when it’s good it’s good! No need to wait until summer to sport these fun woven handbags.

Which bag suits your style this summer? xx Ashley

1. ROUND TOTE BAG

This bag is a bit of a splurge for a straw tote, but I just love the shape and structure. It holds so much and doesn’t lose its shape. We see the smaller one so often and this larger size is really nice. If you’re wanting to partake in this trend for less, I’d check out this circle tote.

2. ACRYLIC CLUTCH

I know you guys have seen this bag before, but I think this acrylic bag is so much fun. I actually just ordered it in pink. Perfect for summer, and under $100!

3. SMALL BASKET BAG

I’ve been wearing this bag so much lately. It’s a great size, and I love that you can tie the fabric to “close” the top. It actually holds a lot too. I took this on a trip a few months ago and was able to get my big DSLR camera, cardholder and a few lipsticks in it as well.

4.SMALL ROUND SHOULDER BAG

This bag is such a showstopper. I always get asked about this little bag when I wear it. It continues to sell out, so be sure to grab it while you can!

In terms of functionality, it will hold your phone, lipstick and a small card holder.

5. PACKABLE STRAW TOTE

This Packable Straw Tote is the ideal travel tote. It literally rolls up eliminating any extra bulk in your suitcase. You better believe this will be accompanying me on our family beach trip in June!
