R29 Readers Get A Discount On These Not-So-Basic Straw Bags

Picture an It girl strolling in the South of France on a hot summer day. She looks effortlessly chic, wearing minimal, breezy clothing and a pair of oversized sunnies as she carries a large straw tote bag. It’s nice to know that straw accessories, raffia shoes, and oversized handbags are trending this season, meaning it’s easier than ever to find options and achieve this stylish look. And if you’re specifically looking for a statement bag that's anything but ordinary, luxury accessory brand Eric Javits is elevating our warm-weather wardrobes with versatile and sophisticated summer bags.

Eric Javits has been around since the mid-'90s, supplying women with straw hats that are actually comfortable to wear, thanks to the brand’s patented Squishee material. The flexible, lightweight recycled fabric is utilized across in its other accessories, such as handbags, allowing customers to fold or roll them up for travel without losing their shape. The brand’s straw styles span tote bags, crossbodies, shoulder bags, and even mini bags. And from all the different woven braids, patterns, and colors, anyone can find a bag that speaks to their own summer vibe.

The brand is currently offering R29 readers an additional 15% off with code REFINERY15 at checkout. So if you're looking for a new straw bag, the time to strike is now, now, now.

Whether you want the ultimate cool-girl jumbo beach tote that comes with a swimsuit case or a more delicate straw bag inspired by an It-girl vacation spot, Eric Javits has an expansive collection of straw tote bags to choose from. And the cherry on top for these styles is that they have cleverly placed inner and outer pockets for organization, unlike most tote bags, which we have to feverishly rummage through to find our keys. Plus, most Eric Javits bags have patterned, colorful, and water-repellent linings that'll keep your bag clean and spark some joy when you peek inside.

These sleek crossbody straw bags are practical, versatile, and durable, thanks to their adjustable straps, leather detailing, and compact storage compartments. So they’re perfect for effortlessly transitioning between running errands and grabbing lunch with friends and attending a party afterward. Wear these chic, not-so-basic styles as standard crossbody bags or shoulder bags with adjustable long or short straps, depending on your mood and activity level.

Inspired by '90s short-strap styles, this tightly woven raffia shoulder bag looks super-luxe and retro. And these straw bags are just as versatile as the brand's other styles, especially the Bel Air shoulder bag, which can be converted into an elevated backpack or crossbody bag.

These straw bags are chic, playful, and calling our name. As much as oversized bags are having their moment, mini bags haven't fully faded into the background. They're perfect to be worn for special occasions, dinners, and vacations. Most of these mini bags also have detachable straps, so that you can wear them as clutches, top-handle bags, or crossbody bags.

Named after Frank Sinatra's iconic song "My Way," this collection of bags is a call to individuality. And you can truly wear these bags whichever way you want, whether as a top-handle or crossbody bag with adjustable strap lengths. These straw bucket bags come in different sizes, and the three smaller options include unique drawstring closures for secure storage.
