Basket-bag enthusiasts, unite—the pastoral accessory is returning for another summer. Additionally, we are of the opinion that the assortment of straw bucket bags and woven containers is more advantageous than ever this year.
On the one hand, there are the ultra-coveted Loewe and Prada iterations (a lady can dream), while on the other, we have been pleasantly surprised by the variety of premium-looking basket bags available in stores such as Zara, H&M, and Arket. Sézane and Demellier are the go-to sources for raffia if your budget is approximately £200. In essence, there is a choice available for everyone, regardless of whether you are planning a Mediterranean excursion or a day journey to your nearest coastline.
The most advantageous aspect is that the appropriate basket bag will complement all of your summer attire, thereby incorporating a distinctively French touch. Nevertheless, Parisians have a particular fondness for this fashionable adornment (Jane Birkin was one of them). Sling a basket purse over your shoulder or lower arm and your ensemble will feel doubly stylish, whether it is a simple jeans-and-tee combo or a floaty floral midi dress.
See how some of our finest influencers are incorporating this staple into their warm-weather looks by scrolling down. Then, peruse our compilation of the most exceptional basket bags available this season, regardless of your budget.
