Best Beach Bags: Raffia, Mesh and Woven Totes

Best Beach Bags: Raffia, Mesh and Woven Totes

The best part? They're all under $500.

The best beach bags are totes in raffia, mesh and woven straw, picked to skip the sticker shock. I pulled mesh, woven and beaded totes from STAUD, Cult Gaia, AQUA, Madewell and Clare V.

The best straw beach bags bring texture and plenty of room to a sunny-day outfit. This selection ranges from STAUD's Christos Large Mesh Tote and Cult Gaia's Mercier Woven Tote to an exclusive woven straw tote, a beaded tote, Madewell's Sandy Tote, and a handknotted striped style.
