There’s something about packing for summer and warm-weather trips. First off, you’ll find so much more room for those “just in case”looks, filling the space of what would be just one comfy knit during winter travels. Fabrics are lighter, baggage weighs less and suddenly airline luggage restrictions seem workable. When it comes to a versatile and stylish bag to bring along, straw is the first material that comes to mind. Lightweight and waterproof, materials like raffia and palm leaves are great for summer and seaside travels and feel so much lighter than full leather.

We’ve rounded up the best straw bags for all of your trips this season, and many can also transition nicely into fall weather, too.
