did you get the memo?
basket bags are trending!
By Tanaka | September 02, 2017
If “Life Is like A Beach”, we should be accessorizing accordingly. This summer just about every fashion girl got the memo and have since been riding the tropical wave wearing the coolest trend for the season: basket bags.
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that
"as island girls, we may very well have pioneered this summer’s trend"
Thinking about it, by default, these bags really should be a staple for us, even if only for the beach or market runs. With this latest trend however, they’re no longer just about your weekend loads but instead have been updated to inspire serious ‘wicker’ lust.
They are definitely statement pieces but add a touch of effortless chic to any ensemble without being loud. The best thing about these bags is that they are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re going for a casual t-shirt and jeans combo or a summery cocktail dress, a basket bag is a perfect complement. Designers have gotten really creative with them too, so now you can easily find one that suits any mood; like totes for errands or a crossbody bag for a lunch date.
If you plan on getting your hands on a basket bag, think of it as an investment. Since its always summertime in Jamaica, you can wear it all year round. Choose a tote if you want an everyday bag that can carry all of your essentials or you can opt for a more unique but smaller design for your weekend outings. Generally these bags are affordable and since they’re typically made from raffia, wicker or natural woven material, they tend to be pretty durable.
