Whether you go classic or novel, a basket bag is a veritable summer staple …
By now, a basket or straw bag is as much of a summer dressing essential as a floaty dress, hardworking shorts or a do-it-all pair of sandals. But what styles are trending now? For SS25, designers and brands are hitting refresh on the humble basket bag so that, whether you’re toting it around the riviera or using it to bring a seasonal frisson to your Irish summer staples, it’s as covetable as ever.
First up, colours are straying from classic beige and browns. Think coral, yellow, navy or patterned. Stripes imbue this classic bag with a nautical feel that feels rather French. Thanks to the season’s artisanal focus, designers are elevating handmade techniques: look to Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza collection’s small raffia bags upgraded with gingham patterns and frills to imitate lace trim.
Basket bags run the gamut from micro to maxi, but we think the point is to be capacious. Speaking of, Anya Hindmarch’s holiday tote comes with external pockets and a detachable earphones pouch … because she thinks of everything.
