From city-sleek silhouettes to getaway-ready designs Woven Leather Bag
The best basket bags all have a certain allure. Like the best straw bags, they are both versatile and timeless, the perfect accent for a summer outfit. “It’s a timeless style due to its nostalgic aesthetic and practicality,” explains Hereu cofounder José Luis Bartolomé.
Taking inspiration from the reliable shopping baskets frequently used in Spain and elsewhere on the Mediterranean, cofounder Albert Escribano adds, “Baskets strike up sense memories of the open-air markets found in small towns and villages in the region.”
While there are many distinctive styles to discover this season, from sculptural top-handle bags to convertible crossbody silhouettes and minimalist totes, Bartolomé says material is the most vital detail to focus on. For durability, look at straw and raffia designs mixed with leather or full woven leather styles.
From charming buckets to everyday small totes and even occasion bags, the 22 best basket bags for summer 2024 are ahead for you to shop now.
