The basket bag editors and influencers are obsessed with is in the sale RN

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.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
