Every summer there are fun and fabulous straw handbags to elevate our outfits into something which evokes travel, or just adds some texture to our overall look. For summer 2024, instead of the usual tote bags, designers and brands have included at least one straw or canvas handbag to their collections, so right now, natural fiber bags are everywhere!

Straw handbags can be worn on the streets this summer 2024 season. Yup, that’s right! You can rock your natural fiber on the streets of Manhattan, the beaches of Hawaii, and everywhere in between. Love that!

My current straw handbag collection consists of two tote bags, one customizable tote bag with the words “Jet Set” stitched in, and one slightly larger tote from Loewe. I wear them both! Now, I am eyeing a shoulder bag for when I want to be hands free. There are a lot of choices this summer, and I love that fact that there are several fabulous styles priced under $100. That’s incredible!

I also feel like I need that turtle clutch pictured above in my life. Isn’t it cute! Love!

Handbag capsule wardrobe spring 2022

Spring 2022 handbag capsule wardrobe from top left: black Prada hobo / red slouchy hobo / small black convertible handbag / pink bucket bag / small yellow pouch / chocolate brown chain pouch / yellow tote bag (in stock soon, larger version here) / bright blue tote / black top handle bag /

As you know, spring 2022 is all about smaller handbags, and lots of colors! In addition to small and colorful, we are looking at handbag styles for spring 2022 which can be found in many of our closets. The hottest handbag trends for spring 2022 include the bucket, the small tote, top handle bags, the continuation of the pouch and the hobo handbag.

Since I was a huge bucket bag fan seven to eight years ago when the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag reached its insane IT bag status, I knew I had this trend in my closet to shop. While spring 2022 is bringing us new versions of the bucket bag, I prefer to stick with the classic that I already own. I decided for spring 2022, I would pull my pink bucket bag out of the back of my closet. I have found myself reaching for it often already! It’s so easy to wear and has fabulous interior capacity. Plus, the light pink hue freshens up a foggy day and adds a touch of spring to my overall look; even in my workout cloths. haha Mansur Gavriel has a lot of really pretty colors in stock for spring, just in case you didn’t invest in one the first time around. You can see them all here.

The small tote bag is a great returning trend too. I had this blue tote bag in the back of my closet, and it’s still in stores! I love how small tote bags give the illusion of being a small handbag but are actually quite roomy inside. The cross body strap on most small totes comes in handy too. Love that!

This fabulous yellow tote was from Coach’s spring 2022 runway. They released a small batch right during New York Fashion Week, but plan to release more very soon. I will keep you updated for their in-stock return! In the meantime, they do have larger versions of this classic tote online. I love the neutral hues and the green.

The hobo bag and the pouch are continuing to be hot in 2022. So, if you already invested in these two styles, keep wearing them! If you don’t have a hobo yet, you can still invest in one, they will stick around awhile. Love!

Well, since there are two types of handbags I am loving right now; I had to split them into two photos by type! The top photo is my hobo bag capsule wardrobe, and the bottom is my pouch bag capsule. These are the two handbag styles I am loving to wear this winter season.

The handbag trends we will see this winter 2022 season will include hobo bags, pouch bags, small totes, bucket bags, and micro-mini bags; and as we move into warmer weather in the spring season, we will see more straw bags-just like last year! So, for right now, in the winter season, I am rocking the hobo bag trend, and the pouch bag trend. Love them!

Structured and slouchy hobos are everything right now. So, I have a mix of both styles, as well as differing colors. I hope to add an ivory hobo to my collection soon. I also have a mix of pouch bags for both casual and dressier occasions. I love having different colors and sizes, it helps mix it up. I love the pouch bag trend, it’s fun!
