Utter the words summer dressing and a woven bag is never too far from our thoughts. A stalwart in the fashion world, woven carry-alls, once lauded for their practicality and size, are now a byword for a laissez-faire kind of look, not least one that suggests you picked up your basket while holidaying on Île de Ré.

Over the last few seasons, we’ve seen the definition expand from classic raffia to dressy woven leather styles – influenced, of course, by Bottega Veneta’s hold on fashion and buzzy brands like Dragon Diffusion – which have a polish that leans more city than beach. Indeed, you’d be hard-pressed to find a member of the style set who doesn’t rely on a woven bag to complete a high-low summer outfit.

For SS26, the woven craze is stronger than ever, with both high street and high-end brands in the mix. At Toteme, the Swedish label‘s cult T-lock top-handle bag has been upgraded for sunny days in a woven leather mix. Equally, The Row has debuted the Loretta bag – a woven raffia oversized tote with wide straps – as its summer ‘everyday’ style. Meanwhile, French favourite Sézane has extended its stable of baskets to include moody shades of chocolate and black, reflecting the bag’s more sophisticated era. If your budget doesn’t stretch to Dragon Diffusion prices, look out for similar styles at Anthropologie and Parfois.
