In today's world of fashion, where trends evolve at the click of a button, designer straw bags remain timeless staples. Regardless of other bag trends, the onset of spring and the promise of summer will always call for the laidback and breezy look of straw or raffia.

In the 1950s, straw clutches gained popularity among fashion-minded women. Many featured appliqué or embroidery, and functioned as souvenirs, noted Jill Brady, founder of the website Sackrider Museum of Handbags. The new demand created “pockets of cottage industry” in destinations like Miami, said Ms. Brady.

Wear It With Denim Whether you choose white jeans, light rinse, dark rinse, skinny jeans, or bootcut, anything goes with this timeless essential. Go all casual with a button-up shirt, or add a fun top for contrast. Either way, any straw bag looks great with jeans!
