BASKET BAGS, THE NEW ‘IT’ BAG
We’re about three years deep into the basket bag trend that just won’t quit.
From oversized beach totes and itty-bitty woven baskets starting things off, handbag designers everywhere have adopted straw, wicker, rattan, and even bamboo into their collections.
And just like that, we’ve immediately begun adding them to our wish lists and luckily for us and our shopaholic alter-egos, the trend is still growing stronger as these bags have become even more versatile and practical.
Not only are they reserved for the beach or vacations, they have evolved so much so that they can be seamlessly incorporated into our everyday looks for that stylish and super chic vibe a lá Jane Birkin, the fairy godmother of this trend.
Between the intentional pricey and kitschy versions that may seem out of your reach, you can get your hands on an affordable homegrown brand, Ékété whose bags have stylish leather and Ankara detailing handcrafted by skillful artisans. Did I mention they are totally ‘instagrammable’ too!
Here are the chicest basket bags you need to start sourcing before it’s too late.
