Add to Basket: the Best Woven Bags of the Summer
Whether you’re jetting off on holiday or enjoying the sun from home, do it with a basket bag in hand
By: Maddi JohnOnce upon a time, the basket bag was synonymous with a day lounging on the beach. But over the last couple of years, the best basket bags have made the jump from holiday essential to the bag to carry, wherever you go. That’s not to say a classic wicker doesn’t belong on the beach too, but with their versatile practicality and ability to hide and hold a multitude of sins while still managing to look good (especially with your summer dresses), basket bags can easily compliment your every summer outfit need. So whether you’re exploring the city or laying out on a beach lounger soaking up the sun, let Liberty share the very best basket bags for every occasion.
