By Karen Kozlowski Bag Du Jour

A red-and-white striped straw bag is American summer at its best. Tailor-made for beach days but still city streets chic, this bag is spot on for a national celebration by the shore. Roomy enough to hold all your essentials—including a box of sparklers or two—this tote will be your go-to grab bag from now until Labor Day.
