The Best Straw and Raffia Basket Bags For Effortless Style
For Elevated, Effortless, Timeless and Ageless Style
As with many fashion classics, designer woven basket bags are everywhere, with almost every luxury designer giving this unassuming style their high-fashion take.
Many associate Jane Birkin with the Hermès Birkin bag, arguably the most expensive and coveted handbag in the world. However, before her association with the Birkin Bag, Jane Birkin made the humble woven basket bag a symbol of effortlessly elegant French style and wore her basket everywhere.
The Basket Bag has seen a resurgence in recent years, making it one of the summer’s biggest bag trends. Easy to carry and versatile, a basket bag can be used as a carry-all for shopping, days at the beach, or as an everyday handbag. Less formal than traditional bags, a good-quality woven basket bag can add a timeless, effortless elegance to any summer outfit.
The basket bag offers the bonus of offering an entry-level price point into the world of luxury designers. However, I prefer a minimalist style (without logos) that is in keeping with the simplicity of a basket bag, with a Jane Birkin or French Girl style.
