Basket Bags You Can Wear Even When You're Not Going to the Beach

It's the accessory that instantly evokes summer, holidays, and carefree days in the sun. Yet the basket bag is no longer reserved for the beach or the weekend market. This season, designers are proving that woven bags can be just as stylish on city streets as they are by the seaside. From refined details to sophisticated silhouettes, these seven basket bags are designed to blend seamlessly into an urban wardrobe.

Is the Basket Bag Still in Style?

Judging by the runways and fashion favorites such as Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung, and Vittoria Ceretti, the answer is a resounding yes. The only challenge has been its strong association with beachwear, which can sometimes feel out of place in the city. Fortunately, a new generation of designs is changing that perception, bringing sophisticated details and urban appeal to this timeless accessory.
