While a longtime staple of dining alfresco and Dorothy costumes, basket bags have rarely been considered a high-fashion accessory--that is, until now! With so many spring runways referencing picnic dressing, it was only a matter of time before wicker carriers became a covetable wardrobe essential for the stylish set. Not without a few of-the-moment accents and loads of charm, these woven bags come in a variety of intriguing shapes and sizes. So whether you choose a chic clutch embellished with studs or a cool cross-body version with a neon trim, creating a noteworthy look will seem like a picnic!
