Hello there, fashion lovers! It’s time again for our Ageless Style link-up, where our blogging friends gather monthly to share our interpretations of current fashions and trends. Our topic for May is all things straw. And I would like to share my favorite straw totes for summer with you.
This post includes affiliate links for your convenience at no additional cost.
Regarding handbags and carry-ons, I am an everyday tote gal. You can often find me carrying a tote with a small handbag stashed inside. Yes, I am one of those gals who likes to take the kitchen sink with me. Of course, being a wife and Nana makes it easy to collect sunglasses and other items to put in my bag. And living in Florida, my favorite totes are straw with leather handles.
Favorite Straw Tote
My favorite straw tote for summer is the J.Crew Como Straw Tote. I find it perfect for taking everywhere—the dry cleaners, grocery shopping, Saturday morning farmer’s market, or a trip to the beach. The size is roomy enough for beach towels or packing for a road trip, plus the leather straps make it strong enough to carry whatever I can pack in it.
This favorite has stood the test of time, and I have linked this year’s version for you. It features a more flared opening for a modern look.
Another Favorite Straw Tote
I also enjoy my other favorite straw tote, the extra-large French Market Basket from Amazon. The French basket is constructed of palm leaves. The bonus is that it has large flat leather handles for carrying on the shoulder and small leather handles for carrying the hand.
My French Market Basket was perfect on my trip to St Lucia last fall.
Both my straw totes are favorites that I continue to enjoy year after year. I keep the J.Crew Como Woven Straw Tote in Gainesville and leave my Amazon French Basket in Boca Raton. This way, I am always ready for Florida life with my favorite straw totes for summer.

A plus with both these straw totes is that they easily fit into my luggage. And I have an extra carry-on if needed.

Here you go, ladies.
Both your totes are fabulous! I picked out a similar style to your first one but mine does have a zipper. I forgot how much I love using a straw tote for summer and haven’t switched back to any of my other purses since taking my photos for this challenge.
I just read your post and I love your straw tote. The zipper makes it perfect❣️ I can see it being your go-to bag all summer long.
I definitely thing my larger straw totes are more practical than my 2 smaller straw purses especially with summer activities. I love your selection and that first pic with the ocean in the background!

I like to have a large tote with me most times. I keep and extra one in my trunk with my shopping bags, just in cas.😉
You gotta love how these just go with everything. I love them both.

Jodie, there are so many fun and decorative straw totes available, and I love them all. But, these two are the workhorses of my collection.
Your straw bags are beautiful! I really need to buckle down and scroll through the pages and pages of bags on Amazon! I really hated to miss this one, but, hopefully, everything will be better next month!

Hi Marsha,
Amazon is a great resource for straw totes. There are so many choices that it is hard to choose.
Prayers and good vibes for both you and Mike.❤️🙏
Your straw tote is perfect with every single look that you are wearing! I love the breezy vibes of it. Thanks for the link up!

What great straw totes you have! They are classic and big enough to hold a lot of things.
