Perfectly epitomising the summer season, the basket bag – affectionately known also as a straw, cane or wicker basket – works seamlessly for those strolls along the beach, bike-rides down grass-filled country lanes and impromptu picnic days.
While it never went out of fashion per se, it has successfully taken the top spot for this season’s must-have accessory following one or two popular high-street options strewn across Instagram and Pinterest feeds – I’m looking at you here, Zara. Paired with flowy midi dresses or a classic Breton stripe, this simple accessory has followed on from its popularity of last year and seen a much-welcomed resurgence in recent months, with a refreshing new range of colours and shapes available for those summer days ahead.
Whether you’re opting for a more casual weekend outfit, or looking for something to jazz up an upcoming summer wedding ensemble, the basket bag is no longer limited to a slouchy excuse once used for carrying back your weekly shop or to be filled during a mooch to your local car boot sale. They are bold and embroidered, with multi-coloured pom-poms and jazzy handles in convenient shapes and sizes with slogan text.
