The Loewe x Paula's Ibiza collection has just dropped, which can only mean one thing: the season of basket bags has officially begun.
No one is reinventing the sartorial wheel here. When it comes to wardrobe basics, the accessory is top of the list, especially for summer.
Basket bags—a long-time staple amongst the French crowd—are of course as much of a holiday essential as beach bags.
But their appeal goes far beyond your next sunny getaway. They are usually incredibly pared-back in design, never taking away from any outfit, rather adding a touch of insouciance.
On the practical side of things, their slouchy and roomy nature mean they'll soon become your everyday staple.
For several seasons now, our favourite designers have put their own spin on the trend, and Spring/Summer 2025 is no exception.
Loewe, unarguably the purveyors of basket bags since SS17, have brought out a plethora of styles, from raffia versions of their iconic Puzzle tote to playful beehive-shaped designs guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Saint Laurent, Rabanne and Aquazzura also have some wanderlust-inducing styles you might like.
That said, if you're looking for a basket bag on a budget, the high street is full of chic styles that'll complement everything from your favourite jeans to babydoll dresses.
COS, Zara and Massimo Dutti will never disappoint. With that in mind, shop my edit of the best basket bags below.
