Summer is hot. Scorching at times even. What can you do besides dress in gauzy, breathable fabrics in all shades of white. Except all those neutrals can get, well … boring. Stay cool and look cool with these endless summer must-haves: Tribal, hand-woven bags. Ethnic, exotic prints inject life into any bland outfit, and everyone is loving them. You’ll see these bold, supple bags in the pages of Elle and on the shoulders of hippy chic starlets like Nicole Richie and Rachel Bilson.

The craftsmanship and visual interest of the Shigra bag for Anthropologie is almost endless with a gorgeous print, woven straw and dyed tagua seeds. Handcrafted in Ecuador, these one of a kind bags are available in five color varieties: pink, medium pink, wine, grape and turquoise (our favorite!). The 21-inch strap means you can sling it around your body for all-day, comfy wear.

If there is anything better than a chic handbag, it’s a chic handbag that gives back. The sale of these unique, hand-made pieces benefit the Wayuú indigenous women from South America, who are the crafty artisans behind the purses. Whether you opt for a vibrant, crossbody variety, or choose one of the wooden-handled bags from the Cana line, you can’t go wrong.

We love anything that serves multiple purposes, like this reversible, paisley patterned Mala tote. It’s simple, with a pop of pigment courtesy of the saffron-colored, hand-blocked cotton. The bags are made in India by girls in a safehouse in Kolkata who were formerly sexually trafficked, making these bags help fill the need of finding a healthy form of employment for them, and toting a cute accessory for you.

Brighten up your wardrobe with these global accessories: no passport necessary.
