BASKET BAGS FOR S/S  2018

Basket bags are back on the top of the trend list for S/S 2018. While some trends seem to come and go this basket bag trend has been growing for the last 3 years.  Since the onslaught of these bags they are no longer relegated to the beach. While S/S 17 saw these bags almost over done , you might be surprised to see back front and center this season.

However this style of bag that was once used for a country picnic has now made it's way to city dressing .  Therefore it is not uncommon to see a large variety of these bags all over the city scape . When considering choosing one of these basket bags keep an open mind . However this is a trend where you could easily select several bags to fulfill your looks. Since you could choose from a wicker fanny pack to a large tote.

       INSPIRED BASKET BAGS

However simple , they're effortlessly cool and they're everywhere. Since it goes without saying the basket bags are set to be the it-bag of the S/S season. Additionally through my eyes there appears to be one for every style and occasion.

Certainly these's bags have some history and none is as inspiring as the English/French fashion icon Jane Birkin . Particularly note worthy, long before the Hermes Birkin bag , Jane carried her possessions in a wicker basket.  Moreover Birkin  was the epitome of elegant minimal French style. Therefore be inspired by her timeless look of a lovely white blouse , denim and an exquisite basket bag !

DESIGNERS BASKET BAGS

Basket bags make us think of summer, the beach, and picnics  so I loved seeing them in all of their forms.

One of the most beautiful examples of this trend was one of the handbags at Phillip Lim. While the bag part was made of traditional woven straw, the handle was surrounded by an explosion of straw, making the whole creation look like a straw floral arrangement in a vase.

There was no trouble with double bagging straw bags at Ulla Johnson. Since a large, white canvas bag just on its own would have been beautiful and chic, but there was also a small, rounded straw bag paired with it.

Overall we also saw straw elements be part of the bags at Miu Miu, Zimmermann, and Michael Kors. Hence the variety and mixed elements of these bags are the hottest summer trend.

BASKET BAGS IN CONCLUSION

In conclusion basket bags are  great accessories for summer and I believe are a summer staple. Therefore darlings I've searched my partners to find you some of the best bags out there. When considering a purchase always consider quality, the really cheap bags are often poorly crafted . Since these bags appeared on the scene a few years back the variety has just grown and grown. However the tote seems to be the most popular.

What really works for me when doing  styling is often a look requires some texture. Furthermore this search for texture is often unsuccessful . Here is the answer a basket bag adds an element of texture and an element of nature , which can also add something organic .

In the final analysis a lovely basket bag could seal that wardrobe deal. Furthermore these light fresh bags really add play and fun to an outfit.  Without delay choose the bags you want and order them immediately , these items tend to sell out fast . Therefore don't be disappointed , all the product photo's above are links to the merchant.  All in all my dears it's time to go , leave me a comment and follow my blog .
