Hey babes! I wanted to touch base with you guys today about the hottest handbag trend of the summer: the basket bag. These are straw or wicker bags that have become the must carry of the summer. The king of this trend is of course the Cult Gaia Ark bag (and soon you’ll be able to get the designer alternative…hint hint) but there are tons of other options as well.
These basket bags come in all shapes and sizes so I thought I’d break it down for you today. Just keep reading for all the best basket bags for summer, all of which happen to also be under $1o0!
CLUTCHS
The straw clutch has been a summer time staple for a couple years now but only seems to be growing in popularity. These often come with festive pom poms or tassels but you can find some truly gorgeous options like this navy one too.
TOTES
Beach days and a straw tote go together like peanut butter and jelly but they are also great for summer time street style. These are obviously a great carry all but swap out those beach towels and instead use it on your next farmer’s market run.
CROSSBODYs
When before there were only clutches and totes, now there are some crossbody basket bags available now! These fun summer basket bags fuse summer style with practicality and are ideal for the girl on the go who still wants the latest trend but in a form you can wear almost every day and still have hands free.
MINIs
One of the newest ways the basket bag is reinventing itself is in mini form. These bags are totally adorable and go with everything from flowing summer dresses to shorts and your favorite tee. I’m especially loving this one and this one.
Have you tried out a basket bag yet? Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time,
Ana Luiza
