The Basket Bag Is A Holiday Must. Here Are 40 Of Our Faves
We all love our basket bags, from artisan creations found in foreign street markets to elegant designer iterations. The humble woven shopper is a summer staple that many rely on for its versatility and relaxed elegance. It works with denim, dresses, and everything in between, but it undeniably looks best with all your vacation-inspired outfits.
Granted, there’s nothing new about basket bags; however, thanks to Spanish luxury label Loewe, we’ve seen an explosion of love for the rustic carry-all. In a commitment to keep the brand’s artisanal heritage alive, while at Loewe, Creative Director JW Anderson added the cursive logo to the side of a market-style bag and boom… it became an instant icon. Hordes of influencers couldn’t get their hands on one quick enough. For good reason – it’s beautiful. Crafted from woven raffia, adorned with chic leather detailing, it oozes laid-back sophistication. Unsurprisingly, numerous fashion brands have followed suit with their own take on the basket bag. Mango, & Other Stories and Cos have all created affordable styles to complete our holiday wardrobe.
Sézane, however, is the French label dominating the scene with its covetable raffia bags. A quick scroll on Insta and they are everywhere. Paris 64 is yet another name to watch for timeless arm candy. Handmade in Ubrique (a small town in Cadiz, Spain), with a touch of Parisian je ne sais quoi, this unique collection of bags is the epitome of high-quality, classic design.
Basket bags are made for beach days in swimsuits, but they also look impeccable with summer-in-the-city styling. Think: denim shorts, an oversized blazer with an equally oversized basket, a pair of mules, and you’ve nailed the look. Handwoven raffia, leather or straw totes bring a softness to any outfit, and we are here for them. So we’ve curated our top picks just for you…
