Wicker Bags Are Everywhere Right Now—These Versions Still Feel Special
I’ll blame it on the warm weather inching its way into spring, but wicker bags are officially everywhere right now. We can trace the popularity of the bags back to Jane Birkin, who famously carried a woven basket in place of a typical handbag—and fashion girls have echoed her cool style by adding them to their wardrobes. Over the last few years, we’ve seen them rise as a staple, and this season is no exception.
What’s different this time around is the addition of fun new styles. Yes, the classic basket versions are still available, but there are also new takes on the bag. Just look to “Love Bag” from Heimat Atlantica that’s covered in porcelain charms or a heart-shaped bag from Dolce & Gabbana or a version from Zara finished in a rich shade of emerald green. Whether you’re in search of a timeless style or a cool, updated version, we’re rounded up the styles to add to your closet for the months ahead.
