Straw Market Totes for Everyday Errands
I used to think straw bags were only for vacation, but then I started carrying one to the grocery store and got three compliments in the produce aisle. These are the ones sturdy enough for real life, not just Instagram.
Grab this if you're tired of flimsy straw bags that lose their shape after two uses — mine still looks perfect after a full summer of farmer's market runs and I stuff it pretty hard.
Natural Seagrass Market Bag
Pair this with literally any sundress and you look like you just wandered out of a Provençal village. The leather handles are the detail that makes it feel less costume-y and more like a real bag.
French Market Basket With Leather
Use this one when you're carrying smaller stuff that would fall through an open weave — the cotton lining inside saved my lipstick from disappearing into the abyss at least four times.
Handmade Raffia Tote With Lining
Toss this in your trunk for spontaneous beach days. It's lightweight enough that you forget you're carrying it but roomy enough for two towels, sunscreen, and snacks for the whole crew.
Palm Leaf Tote Straw Bag
Switch to this from plastic grocery bags and watch how much better you feel about yourself. It stretches to fit way more than you'd expect and folds flat in a drawer when you're not using it.
Handmade Vintage Macrame Market Bag Jute ...
Storage Baskets That Make a Room Feel Coastal
My apartment looked like a dorm room until I swapped out plastic bins for woven baskets. Suddenly everything felt intentional instead of chaotic, and I didn't have to paint a single wall.
Keep this next to the couch for throw blankets — it went from random blanket pile on my floor to looking like I hired an interior designer, and it took exactly zero effort.
Seagrass Basket
Use this for the stuff you don't want guests to see. Charging cables, remotes, random mail — all hidden inside something that looks decorative. My mom thought I finally got organized.
Woven Basket With Lid
Snag the whole set because you'll find uses for all three faster than you think. I've got one in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, and one holding fruit in the kitchen like some kind of adult.
Seagrass Nesting Baskets
Try this as a planter cover if you've got a fiddle leaf fig or any tall plant — it hides the ugly nursery pot and makes the whole corner look like a resort lobby. Took me two minutes.
Round Water Hyacinth Basket
Bring this into the nursery or the laundry room — it's soft enough that you won't scratch floors and it holds a shocking amount of dirty towels before you admit it's time to do laundry.
Natural Cotton Rope Basket
Beach Bags Big Enough for the Whole Day
I used to bring like four separate bags to the beach and lose track of all of them. These are the oversized ones that fit everything so you can actually relax instead of managing your stuff.
Grab this if you're the friend who packs for everyone — it fits towels, a book, water bottles, and a speaker without looking like you're hauling luggage. The tassel is a nice touch too.
Extra Large Straw Handbags
Carry this instead of a tote and people will literally ask you where you got it. It stands up on its own in the sand, which sounds small but changes everything when you're digging for sunscreen.
Seagrass Woven Basket
Use this one if you need interior pockets — I lost my car keys inside a beach bag once and spent twenty minutes dumping everything out. Never again. The pockets actually work.
Large Jute Beach Bags
Throw this over your shoulder for boardwalk days when you want to look put together but also need room for a sweatshirt because the wind always picks up at sunset and you never learn.
Shop BAGS | VIEW ALL on COACH Indonesia
Try this for weekend trips to the pool — it dries fast, doesn't hold onto weird smells, and the wide opening means you can just toss everything in without carefully arranging like it's a suitcase.
Woven Palm Leaves
Small Crossbody and Clutch Woven Bags
Sometimes you don't need the giant tote — you just need your phone, keys, and card. These are the smaller woven bags that still give coastal energy without hauling around a whole basket.
Wear this to dinner on vacation and it goes with everything from a white dress to jean shorts. I wore mine three nights in a row in Portugal and nobody noticed because it just works.
Rattan Crossbody Bag
Keep this in your bigger tote for when you want to leave the beach bag at the hotel and just walk around town. The wooden clasp gives it enough structure that it doesn't feel flimsy.
Straw Clutch Bags
Swap your regular purse for this from May through September — it's small but fits the essentials, and the bucket shape means things don't spill out when you set it down at a restaurant.
Raffia Mini Bucket Bag
Bring this to brunch and watch someone ask about it within the first ten minutes. The intricate weave pattern is genuinely beautiful up close and it ages really well over time.
Bali Rattan Bags
Use this for concerts or festivals when you just need your phone and a card — it sits right at hip height and you can actually dance without worrying about your stuff flying everywhere.

Woven Wall Baskets and Hanging Decor
I had one blank wall in my living room that drove me crazy for months. A cluster of flat woven baskets fixed it in twenty minutes and cost less than a single framed print would have.
Grab a set and arrange them however you want — there's no wrong way to do it. I spent way too long planning the layout and then my friend rearranged them randomly and it looked better.
Wall Basket Set of 6, Basket Wall Hanging, Boho ...
Try hanging one of these above your bed as a headboard alternative if you're renting and can't drill too many holes. One nail, done, and it looks incredibly intentional.
Bolga Wall Hanging
Use this in the entryway to hold mail or keys — it's decorative but functional, which is my whole design philosophy since I realized I'm not disciplined enough for purely decorative things.
Rattan Wall Basket
Pair a few of these in different sizes along a hallway — the color variations in the grass make each one slightly different, so it doesn't look mass-produced or matchy-matchy.
Wall Plates Sabai Grass
Toss these up in a bathroom that needs help — mine went from sad beige box to spa-adjacent in about fifteen minutes. They handle humidity fine too, which I was worried about.
Woven Seagrass Wall Art
Woven Picnic and Wine Baskets
I started doing sunset picnics last summer and realized carrying everything in a tote bag is chaotic. These baskets make the whole thing feel planned and romantic even when it absolutely was not.
Bring this to any outdoor date and you instantly look like you have your life together. I packed grocery store cheese and crackers in it and my partner acted like I planned a whole event.
Wicker Picnic Basket With Lid
Get this before your next beach bonfire or park hangout — it holds two bottles upright so nothing spills in transit. I learned the hard way that wine bottles rolling around in a tote is a disaster.
Wicker Wine Bottle Basket
Use this as a serving basket when people come over — pile bread or rolls in it and suddenly your dinner party has a theme. Works for fruit on the counter too when company isn't around.
Bread Basket With Handle
Keep this on the table for outdoor dinners instead of just throwing forks on a napkin. It corrals everything neatly and looks way better than the plastic organizer I was using before.
Handmade Seagrass Utensil Caddy, Boho Kitchen ...
Ditch the plastic bag when you're picking flowers or herbs from the garden. This one has a flat bottom so things don't roll around, and honestly it just makes the whole activity feel more peaceful.
