Call it the Jane Birkin affect; the original IT girl who famously carried a woven basket in place of a typical handbag, a look which fashion girls have echoed over the years. We’ve seen the popularity of the bag rise over the last few seasons, which means there is now so much to choose from. Whether it’s a playful parrot bag from Serpui to chic wicker bag from Hereu, these are the perfect plus-ones to take you from summer days to alfresco evening parties.

PICK A WICKER

There is something about wicker which is super chic, it’s polished veneer and interesting weave might have something to do with it. But what we do know is that there are an incredible selection available from Serpui. Whether it’s the Brooke Bamboo bag with its clever top handle or their wicker chain strap bag both integrate modern details to make it a summer bag worth investing in.

GO TOTALLY TROPICAL

Summer is the time to have fun with your bag, move away from black colourways and leathers. Whether you are going to channel your inner Carmen Miranda with a cute banana bag or go totally tropical with a woven parrot or turtle bag, summer dressing just got a whole lot more interesting with Serpui’s cool and kitsch offering.

BASKETS OF GLORY

Over the last few seasons the humble picnic basket has had a chic update, and become a firm favourite of the street style crowd with Loewe, Stella McCartney and Chloé leading the way with cool logo embossed versions. New to the fold is Hereu whose bags are hand-crafted in Spain and mixes artisanal traditions with high art and popular culture. The result? The coolest basket bags you’ll want to swing in the warmer months.

FALL FOR WONDROUS WEAVE

Woven bags have that wonderful in-betweener quality, crafted in leather yet in a summery weave design. Bottega Veneta have reinvented their intrecciato bag into oversized shapes, while Loewe and Hereu offer interwoven designs in wondrous ways. The ultimate woven bag to see you through the summer and beyond.

Add these beauties to your wishlist now so you can bag them when better times arrive.
