Though many of us will choose a staycation over a holiday abroad this summer, our holiday clothes needn’t stay relegated to the back of the wardrobe. And now the straw basket bag has been elevated to an everyday summer staple. Popularised in recent years by Jacquemus and JW Anderson – not to mention smaller makers like Rae Feather and Mondo Corsini – the basket bag has once again become as acceptable to tote to the supermarket or Friday night drinks as it is onto an airplane to some place sunny. No longer confined to a wardrobe of floaty kaftans, bleached denim and oversized linen dresses, a basket bag can be paired with your everyday favourites, dressed up or down. 

With those from Loewe and JW Anderson top of the list for many at the moment, high street brands are also offering an array of styles, from neat and small to XL and roomy, making the basket bag ultra versatile and accessible. Though if you do manage to get abroad this summer, hunt down a locally made version at a market or beachside shop. One of our favourites is Mimbrería Vidal in Palma, Mallorca where the store is lined floor to ceiling with handmade straw hats, bags and other homewares.
