15 unconventional straw bags to avoid looking basic

We’ve lost count of the number of seasons where the almighty straw bag transcended fashion trends. It was all the rage two summers ago – plus winter, surprisingly – and it still is for SS ’20.

While the worldwide craze for the ’60s “Jane Birkin bag” is still going strong, it doesn’t mean you should purchase an exact replica. Instead, opt for elegant bag styles fashioned in raffia this season. Think a bucket bag embellished with a neat horsebit detail (see Celine), or an oversized clutch that doubles as a shoulder bag (Givenchy).

Below, 15 of the latest straw bags that epitomise the above.
