With summer approaching, you can't go wrong with a woven straw handbag. Here, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the best sustainable brands to shop for the upcoming season.

Melie Bianco

Melie Bianco' handbags are primarily made from vegan leather, though they make a great woven bag as well.

A A K S

A A K S was founded by Akosua Afriyie-Kumi to introduce her favourite weaving techniques done by women of Ghana and create sustainable jobs within the country. All bags are handcrafted in Ghana, and the designs are unique, vibrant, beautiful, and as at home on vacation as they are on the streets.

Helen Kaminski

Helen Kaminski has been worn by many celebrities, such as Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, and Cindy Crawford. Their bags combine traditional handcraft with modern design, and the company also works to be sustainable by using renewable resources and expanding product longevity to minimize the impact on the environment.

St. Agni

St. Agni supports workers directly by working with artisans in Indonesia and India. The Australian brand also prioritizes using biodegradable materials and ensuring an ethical supply chain.

Nannacay

Nannacay is what you want to bring on your next vacation. The vibrant designs are handmade by a community of artisans in Peru. Each bag is unique, and made with the heritage of the country in mind.

Kayu

While most straw bags on the market are actually made with plastic, Kayu's handbags are created with natural straw that has been harvested, stripped, and dyed by hand. The brand is also working toward becoming zero waste by recycling and donating factory scraps.
