Retro Straw Woven Handle Bag Women UK
Retro Straw Woven Handle Bag Women UK
The straw bag is one of summer's most enduring accessories — it photographs beautifully, works across every beach-to-bar transition and has an artisan, handcrafted quality that no synthetic material can replicate. This retro version has a woven handle and a relaxed, slightly oversized shape that makes it ideal for holidays, beach days and summer weekends. Browse our bags and accessories collection.
Why You'll Love It
- Handcrafted straw weave — natural woven construction with artisan quality and a textural, boho aesthetic.
- Retro silhouette — a rounded, slightly vintage shape that adds character beyond a standard rectangular tote.
- Woven handles — structured handles that sit comfortably on the shoulder or carry in the hand.
- Drawstring closure — a casual, easy-access closure that keeps contents secure without fuss.
- Spacious interior — large enough for beach essentials, a book, sunscreen and a change of clothes.
- Natural camel colouring — the warm natural straw tone works with white, cream, navy and every summer palette.
Care
Keep dry where possible — straw bags are not waterproof. Spot clean with a barely damp cloth. Store stuffed with tissue paper to maintain shape. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
How to Style It
A straw bag works with almost everything in a summer wardrobe. Style inspiration from Harper's Bazaar UK. See our bags and accessories collection.

FAQs
Is this bag waterproof?
No — straw bags are not waterproof. Keep away from rain and avoid submerging in water. If it gets wet, allow to air dry naturally in a warm spot and reshape gently.
How big is this bag?
This is a generously sized tote bag — large enough for beach essentials (towel, sunscreen, book) as well as daily use items. It has a relaxed, slightly slouchy structure when full.
Is this bag suitable for everyday use?
Yes — while it has a holiday and beach aesthetic, a straw bag works equally well for everyday summer use: shopping, markets, casual outings and any warm-weather occasion.
What do I put inside?
A straw bag works best with items that aren't too heavy — the natural weave is not designed to carry very heavy loads. Beach essentials, everyday items (purse, phone, keys, sunglasses) and clothing items work perfectly.
How do I maintain the shape of a straw bag?
Store stuffed lightly with tissue paper or a soft fabric to help it hold its shape when not in use. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods, which can dry and bleach the natural fibres.
