My favorite bag is the Lucky Brand "Baria" tote. It's great quality, snap closure, and has enough room to carry all my stuff. Lucky only sold the tan in store and online, but Nordstorm Rack has them in FIVE colors and on sale for a great price.
The two bags on the left I scored at Goodwill for 80 cents a piece (!!!) and both new with tags. I would recommend checking your local thrift stores as I see them all the time. Just check the interiors for staining and the zippers.
Here are some additional straw bags that I own (and some I just really love!)
The most popular straw bag I have seen is the shoulder circle bag. I ordered this one on Amazon Prime. It came pressed flat, so I recommend stuffing it with some t-shirts for a few days to get the shape right.
Pros: has plenty of room, a shoulder strap and handles to carry either way, zipper closure, looks great with all my outfits
Cons: it's not as high-quality as one you will find at a department store, the side has started to cave in from wearing it on my shoulder (pressed in from my leg).

This is another popular style I have seen on Instagram and in person. I wasn't a fan of this style, the bag is not as large as the one above, closure not as sturdy and to be 100% honest - smells like BBQ on the inside!!! I promise you, hit up a Francesca's and open that bag. BBQ!

THIS BAG. If you have never seen this bag then you have been living in a cave. Personally, I am not a fan of this bag to use in everyday life. While it's pretty to look at, I think it has been used more than an Instagram prop than in real life. Over the past year, more retailers have come out with their own affordable versions. I saw the Francesca's version over the weekend, and it is really great quality - if you decide you really need one, I would recommend theirs.
