Love it! My first and favorite straw bag is the Bonnie convertible tote which is very similar to your bag. does your bag also have the beautiful aquamarine lining?
Yes it does! Mine is the same color combination as yours. I actually had to do a double take bc the pocket looks just like the one on my satchel.
Turn lock pocket satchel from 2005. [emoji4]
Summer is coming to an end - but not yet! 
I still love summery, beachy, impractical bags so here area a couple of
"after pics" of my recent thrift store finds and rehab projects.
The first item is a Hamptons Weekend Patchwork Wristlet 40429 SV MT from 2007, and the second bag is the large Katy Travel Tote 10396 B$ MC from the 65th Anniversary Legacy Collection in 2006; please share your summery bags, too!
Summer is half over already and I haven't updated this thread with my latest (totally unnecessary!) beach bag acquisition.
I had long wanted the Pierre Le Tan Umbrella Bag 14962 that was released in 2010 for $268 but I missed my chance. Whenever I found them for sale on ebay or other sites - they were often dirty, in bad shape, missing hangtags, and very expensive. If the bags were NWT or in great shape they were really expensive. I couldn't justify spending a lot of money for cloth bag when I already have so many beach bags - even though I love them.
Earlier this year, in February, I found a pre-used bag that was clean, in good shape, and intact on ebay for $100, not cheap but reasonable, so I bought it - but I haven't carried it yet!
I have 3 outdoor events coming up soon, an afternoon boat cruise on Lake Michigan, a family picnic in a park with a pool and splash pad for the kids, and a County Fair.
I am planning to use my (new to me) PLT bag at one of these events - maybe the cruise?
See the pictures of my PLT bag below, it's hard to see in the photos but the fabric has subtle, sparkly, gold flecks woven into the canvas that gives the bag a sheen. Very pretty! I think they show up best in the last (inside the bag) picture.
Please also share pictures of your favorite beachy, summery bags and tell us how you are using them this summer!

Your last set in blue and coral is my favorite! I love everything beachy. So fun! I don't have a straw bag, but I do have a straw beach hat.
Thanks! I also have the Coach Hadley Crushable Flower Hat F84542 MTI that I picked up at the outlet for $15, and it goes well with some of my beachy bags!
This one ties for first place with the blue and coral set. I think this would be so fun to take to the beach. Is it easy to keep these clean?
Wow! Thank you! I never noticed hats in any of the outlets. Maybe I was too focused on the bags.
I am going to look for one! I want a crushable beach hat. My straw one is huge.This color feels like summer to me! It makes me smile. 
What a beautiful turquoise color!
I always spray bags with Apple Rain Garde to protect them - and I actually never take them to the beach! Although they have made it to some picnics and other casual outings.
I haven't had any trouble with keeping them clean.
