Straw Studios Beach Mat Hobo | Cute Striped Cloth Handbag with Woven Mat

Posted on: Mar 6

Straw Studios abandons its typical woven designs for this cloth beach bag.

It's a smart choice for the brand. After all, woven straw has an even shorter shelf life once they're exposed to salty sea air, so using fabric instead makes a lot of sense. The fabric is also the ideal backdrop for the hobo's summery colored stripes. The soft rope handles only add to the bag’s coastal appeal.

We struggle to fit our towels into most beach bags. Straw Studios eliminates that hassle by affixing a woven beach mat to the side of the hobo. I don't mind the look of the buckled belt straps one bit, and it's a real practical perk.

With the mat on the outside, there's plenty of space inside for your swimsuit, flip flops, and sunscreen. A couple of slide pockets take care of the technology you can't bear to leave at home, while a zippered pocket can keep your coins and jewelry safe while you're swimming in the surf.

Prices at $54, this is a surprisingly affordable bag for beach bunnies.
