I grew up in a tropical place (St. Kitts) where it is summer all year round. So, I hold fond memories of straw bags as they were always the perfect bag to carry all my essentials on weekly trips to the beach. Ah, the life…
This summer, straw handbags are super trendy, which means there are many style options available. Some of these styles, like my new Santorini tote, are too haute to be confined to the beach.
My MK straw bag works as a beautiful carryall for beach trips, but it functions equally well toting my everyday essentials when I am not at the beach.
