The straw bucket bag is making a splash this summer 2025. Discover why this natural accessory has become the ultimate fashion must-have of the season.

Every summer brings its favorite accessory. For 2025, it is the straw bucket bag that is winning all the votes. Worn over the shoulder by fashionistas in the city and on the beaches alike, this rounded silhouette crafted from plant fibers combines effortless elegance, practicality, and ecological consciousness. Already spotted at Loewe, Jacquemus, Chloé, Sézane, and Polène, it has become a true symbol of summer: natural, structured, and full of character. A look back at a trend that marries fashion, craftsmanship, and lifestyle.

Why is the straw bucket bag everywhere this summer?

1. An iconic shape given a modern update

The bucket bag was popularized in the 1930s by Gaston-Louis Vuitton before becoming a staple of the feminine wardrobe. In 2025, this cylindrical shape is dressed in woven straw, raffia, or natural rush to better align with the spirit of the times. The result: a perfect mix of structure and ease.

2. Straw: A natural, trendy, and sustainable material

The success of the straw bucket bag is part of a broader underlying trend: the return to organic materials. Raffia and straw are appreciated for their lightness and artisanal aesthetic, but also for their low environmental impact. Many brands now favor renewable materials derived from responsible farming or traditional expertise (hand-weaving, plant-based dyes, etc.).

3. A functional bag that adapts to every style

Unlike many summer bags, which are often purely decorative, the straw bucket bag is also ultra-practical: its generous capacity allows you to slip in all your essentials (sunglasses, pouch, water, book...), while its drawstring closure keeps everything secure. In the city, at the beach, or while traveling, it effortlessly complements every silhouette.

The Houses making it a flagship piece in 2025

Loewe – Spanish Luxury Craftsmanship

With its Paula’s Ibiza collection, Loewe elevates the straw bucket bag. Flagship model: the woven raffia and calfskin bucket bag, available in natural beige or olive green. The chic detail: the embossed Loewe anagram on a large leather patch.

Jacquemus – Sun-Drenched Minimalism

Jacquemus offers a mini, graphic version of the straw bucket bag named “Le Seau Rond”, featuring a rigid circular base and a colored leather shoulder strap. Resolutely Mediterranean, this piece flirts between a decorative accessory and a daytime bag.

Chloé – Bohemian Elegance

Following in the footsteps of its “Woody” line, Chloé presents the bucket bag in a soft version crafted from raffia and organic cotton canvas, accented with logo handles. The result: an ethically bohemian bag designed for nomadic city dwellers.

Sézane – Accessible Parisian Chic

Sézane reinvents the straw bucket bag in designs handcrafted in Madagascar, featuring camel or natural leather finishes. The “Paloma” model charms with its supple lines and easy-to-wear modernity.

Polène – The New Guard of Leather Goods

Polène, the French brand praised for its understated refinement, offers a natural fiber bucket bag in its summer 2025 capsule collection. Tight weaving, organic cotton-lined interior, sheathed handles… everything is designed for sophisticated minimalism.

How to wear it this summer?

In the city

Pair your straw bucket bag with a white blazer dress, smooth leather mules, and a few minimalist gold jewelry pieces. For a summer working-girl look that exudes freshness and modernity.

On vacation

Opt for a natural linen maxi dress, rope sandals, an oversized straw hat, and your bucket bag worn cross-body. It is the perfect outfit for a terrace brunch or a seaside stroll.

In the evening

Dare to wear the mini version of the bucket bag, featuring metallic details or pearls, styled with a flowing satin or crochet dress and strappy sandals. The twist: a pair of oversized earrings to catch the light.

Focus on fashion & societal impact

The straw bucket bag is much more than a seasonal accessory: it embodies a sustainable and artisanal vision of fashion. Unlike plastic or faux-leather bags that flood summer markets, it highlights local craftsmanship and the use of renewable materials. It is also a sign of shifting consumer habits: fewer bags, but better chosen.

Simple yet sophisticated, natural yet urban, artisanal yet desirable, the straw bucket bag encapsulates the DNA of summer 2025 fashion. It transcends styles, cities, and ages with disconcerting ease. Whether signed by a major fashion house or handcrafted in a local workshop, it remains a powerful symbol of free, sun-drenched femininity connected to nature.
