We're two, going on three, years deep into the basket bag trend that just won't quit. We'll blame it on the warm weather inching its way into spring, but wicker bags are officially back and literally everywhere right now.
We can trace the popularity of the bags back to Jane Birkin, who famously carried a woven basket in place of a typical handbag—and fashion girls have echoed her cool style by adding them to their wardrobes.
From oversized beach totes embroidered with witty phrases to itty-bitty woven baskets, the bags come in straw, wicker, rattan, and even bamboo. And every season thus far, without fail, we've immediately begun adding them to our wish lists (you can never have too many Cult Gaia's in your closet, right?). Luckily for us and our perilous spending habits, the trend is growing ever stronger.
Between kitschy versions meant to resemble true picnic baskets to top-handle woven purses, your Instagram feed is about to be flooded with basket bags...yet again. Whether you’re in search of a timeless style or a cool, updated version, we’ve rounded up the styles to add to your closet for the months ahead...
