Straw Bags for Summer

Our straw bags are handwoven for the beach, the market, and everywhere in between. Made from natural palm leaf with leather or rope handles, each tote is built to carry everything from sunscreen to a day's groceries, and gets better with every wear.

Choose from mini totes for a night out, medium and large sizes for everyday use, and our oversized XXL tote for a full beach day or weekend away. Every bag is handmade, so expect small, natural variations in the weave, that's part of what makes it one of a kind.

Why choose a Poolside straw bag

Straw bags are a summer wardrobe staple because they're lightweight, breathable, and pair with almost anything, from swimwear to linen separates. Ours are woven by hand from natural palm leaf, so no two bags are exactly alike, and finished with genuine leather or rope handles for everyday durability.

Frequently asked questions

What size straw bag should I buy?

For everyday use or a day trip, the Medium or Large tote gives you enough room for essentials, a water bottle and a light jacket. For the beach, pool, or an overnight stay, the XXL tote fits a towel, sunscreen, a change of clothes, and more.

Are straw bags durable?

Yes. Our totes are handwoven from palm leaf, which is naturally strong and holds its shape well. With light care, a straw bag can last for several summers.

Can I get my straw bag wet?

Straw bags can handle light splashes and sandy beach days, but they're not fully waterproof. Avoid soaking them or leaving them out in heavy rain, and let them air dry fully if they do get wet.

Do you offer personalized straw bags?

Yes, select styles can be personalized with initials or a custom word. Check the product page for personalization options before adding to your bag.

How do I clean a straw bag?

Wipe down the outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct sun. Avoid machine washing or soaking, which can weaken the weave.
