Now that we’ve looked at some of the most practical and gorgeous straw bags, let's take a look at some things to keep in mind when purchasing one.

Use or purpose

Unlike cotton tote bags, straw bags are designed more for aesthetics than to store or hold heaps of vegetables or groceries. Likewise, leather or synthetic materials are also crafted to hold work essentials like a laptop and are more durable than straw bags while retaining shape. Most straw bags, even if large in size may only hold lightweight items. For instance, straw bags can be carried to the beach with lightweight essentials like a beach towel, a bedsheet, and sunblock lotion.

Compartments

If you're a neat freak and love bags with compartments, inner pockets, and several zipped closures, straw bags may not be the right choice for you. Straw bags typically come with one primary zipper and a small inner pocket for things like your cell phone, keys, and wallets. The case is especially true for smaller, dress bags that sometimes don't even have a zipper and only a flap-open top.

Outfits

If you're wearing a summer dress, some easy linen pants with a shirt, shorts, and T-shirt combo, and straw bags, whether large or small will complement your outfits. However, straw bags may not be the best choice for formal or somber gatherings or professional setups.

Maintenance

Unlike leather and cotton bags, straw bags tend to quickly fray, lose shape and color, and take on a limp and old appearance rather quickly. To avoid that, buy one that you are confident you can take care of. To store your straw bags and purses, keep them away from extremely humid and dry areas. It's best to store them in a non-air-conditioned space. To allow them to breathe better and prevent dust from gathering and settling in the small woven patterns, store them inside a cotton bag or wrap them with a soft cotton cloth.

Weather

While a straw bag can be used for all seasons, it's the preferred choice for summertime. When well-protected from the rainy season, a straw bag stays perky, and fresh, while retaining shape. When kept away from cold, damp, and gray winters, straw bags have a higher chance of staying dry and retaining their original colors.
