New seasons bring new trends to invest in. For summer 2025, the trendiest handbag style is also incredibly fitting: straw jute bags. They represent this year's iteration of the woven bag trend, providing shoppers with a beachy vibe without the need to book a trip to a distant city. Crafted from natural fibers with a hand-spun appearance, jute bags can easily double as the ideal beach bag.
But even if you're not carrying towels and sandals, these bags lend a relaxed, cool-girl aesthetic to your everyday outfits. With their all-American, summer-friendly ethos, brands like J.Crew and Banana Republic excel in this style. I envision them paired with linen pants, airy tanks, a preppy striped summer sweater draped over your shoulder, and chic strappy sandals. Still, Zara and H&M offer versions worth exploring. Their designs feature sturdier details like leather straps and trendy buckles, giving the laid-back silhouettes a city-ready toughness.
If you're ready to start shopping, keep scrolling. The selections on this list are perfect for having on hand over the next few months, so grab one before they become so popular that they sell out.
