    I can't help it, I'm a sucker for a good basket bag (or beach bag). There's no better accessory to add instant summer vibes to your outfit.

    This season, I've fallen hard for the Cult Gaia Cora mini bamboo tote, and managed to nab the last one in the Net-A-Porter sale.

    I'd been admiring from afar for a while, having spotted it on the arm of many an editor and influencer on the 'gram.

    Monikh wore hers on a recent trip to Mallorca, teamed with this season's must-have white summer dress, and fashion editor Emily Dawes went for a similar vibe on her honeymoon in the South of France (teamed with that Zara dress).

    Meanwhile, Kim from Love Cloth Blog wore the acrylic tortoiseshell version with a simple black dress.

    Simplicity is obviously key here, to match the bag's natural style.

    Sadly,it has sold out in most places, however the below two are still available in the sale, so hurry.
