The Best Vacation Purses and Totes

1. Large Hand-Woven Straw Hobo Bag

This Large Hand-Woven Straw Hobo Bag is a “must-have” style bag for summer. I saw this handbag style everywhere last year, and it is an excellent choice for summer. It is a great medium size, and the natural color goes with everything. This is a medium size bag, and it can hold everything you need for a gurl’s lunch date. It would also look adorable with a small scarf tied around the handle.

2. Mocha Straw Crossbody

I’m a big fan of this Mocha Straw Crossbody with leather accents and gold chain details. This handbag can be dressed up or down, and it is large enough to hold all of your essential items. This bag is also available in a version with black handles.

3. Woven Clutch Bag

This Woven Clutch Bag is smaller and can be worn as a crossbody. This cute clutch is smaller than the hobo bag above, but I like that you can carry it as a crossbody. I’m carrying the darker khaki color, but it is also available in a lighter beige.

4. Straw Clutch

Most of my beach totes are casual, but it wouldn’t be a best vacation purses roundup without a clutch for dinner. This straw clutch wrist purse is large enough to hold my phone, keys, and a small wallet. I love this straw clutch, and it will be great to carry with any outfit this spring and summer.

5. Large Straw Tote

This tote came with me on my last trip to Biltmore. I can’t find the exact one to link anymore, but here is a very similar one! It’s a modern-style tote, which I love, and it is plenty big enough to carry everything I need to the pool or beach. Plus, it will look great with all your summer outfits since it is a neutral color.

6. Woven Crossbody

This Woven Vegan Crossbody Handbag is so lightweight and perfect for spring and summer. The bag can be carried as an evening bag with its chain-link handle, which I’ve removed in this photo. This is the White1 Color.

7. Vegan Woven Bag

I have had my eye on this super popular trending woven bag! I have it pictured in brown here, but I also really love it in black and apricot, which is a nice light tan color. If you don’t love neutrals and want to add a pop of color to your outfit this season, this bag also comes in some beautiful spring colors like sage, emerald, lime green, light blue, and light pink!

8. Beach Please

This heavyweight canvas tote bag is water-resistant and has ample room for all of your beach essentials. It’s available in several other sayings like ‘Weekend Please’, which is great since it’s the perfect size for a weekend getaway!

9. Beach Bogg Waterproof Tote

These Bogg bags are the ultimate bags for taking with you to the lake, pool, beach, camping, waterpark, etc. They are so roomy and lightweight. Plus, they are easy to clean and come in so many fun colors and patterns!

10. Bamboo Handbag

I bought this bamboo handbag several years ago. This style was all the rage because there was a Cult Gaia handbag that looked just like this but was crazy expensive. I found this one on Amazon, and it has a 5-star rating with over 5,000 reviews. I don’t carry it a lot, but it is great to take on vacation, etc. Here’s another version with a different handle, AND it comes in black and white as well as natural.

A small crossbody bag is a must-have when traveling! It makes shopping easy and allows you to keep your purse in front of you when you’re in crowds. If you are vacationing at a place like Disney, you’ll want something easy to carry. This is very chic and a great size. Plus, it comes in a ton of beautiful colors.

Here’s another cross-body bag that’s a bit more casual. Its claim to fame is that it’s anti-theft. What does that mean? It includes a “slash-resistant mesh inner lining in all 4 sides and bottom body panels; slash-resistant strap; locking compartments; and RFID blocking organizer for credit cards, passport, and other sensitive information you are carrying.” Hey, I’m not judging where you choose to vacation, lol.

Finally, here’s a classic bag from Michael Kors. It’s called a Flight Bag, obviously, because it’s the perfect size to take with you on the plane. I love the white and gold logo design, but it’s available in some other lovely colors, including one that’s a gorgeous red.

Okay, gurls! Let me know where you’re heading on your next vacation, and which of these bags you’re taking along. I’m excited to hear about your next adventure.
