Summer is almost ready to bid us adieu, so it's time to maximize your time in the sun, give those sundresses and thong sandals a bit more wear, and rock your feather earrings with the best of 'em. To give any ensemble an instant beach-ready makeover, reach for a straw or raffia tote. We love this golden brown metallic raffia braid tote from Hat Attack ($92 at HatAttack.com) since it doesn't try too hard to be trendy or polished but, rather, embraces a simpler, more rustic aesthetic.
Each bucket-shaped roomy tote features slanted sides that taper inward from the top of the bag to its base, horizontal lines of braided raffia speckled with hints of gold color, and slim brown leather shoulder straps sewn to the bag with golden yellow, arrow-shaped stitching details.
