The straw bag has graduated. What was once the territory of beachside boutiques and resort gift shops has spent the last several years being thoroughly reclaimed by the highest levels of luxury fashion — and in summer 2026, the category is more refined, more considered, and more relevant than it has ever been. Loewe made the raffia basket a cult object. Prada brought its crochet tote to multiple runway moments. The message is clear: woven from straw or raffia does not mean casual. This season, it means exactly the opposite.
