THIS SEASON’S MOST COVETED BAGS
Over the past few season, these bags have made it from transitional pieces to coveted summer essentials. Of course, I am talking about basket bags. Basket bags are synonymous with holidays – you usually see them as a carry-on for a day at the beach or for those easy breezy sun-soaked strolls to the countryside. These bags are now a bonfire wardrobe staple and I cannot be happier. They are the perfect companions for this season because they complement every outfit. A roughly hemmed sewn basket bag goes great with the bikini, a floral dress or jeans. They’re infinitely versatile and most of the bags I have come across are made from sustainable materials – so you’re doing your bit for the environment and looking good.
The Woven, All Natural Fibers
Whether woven from straw, rattan, wicker, or bamboo, basket bags are not just a fashion statement; they represent a marriage of form and function. They are spacious enough to carry all your summer essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen, and a good book, while also adding a textural element that elevates any outfit. Moreover, these bags are a nod to sustainable fashion trends, often made from natural and renewable materials that appeal to the eco-conscious consumer.
To incorporate a basket bag into your wardrobe, consider pairing it with flowing dresses, wide-brimmed hats, and sandals for a classic summer look. Or, for a more contemporary style, match it with structured pieces like a crisp blazer or tailored trousers. With their timeless appeal and practicality, it’s safe to say basket bags are here to stay as a perennial summer favourite.
