Carry On | The Best Basket Bags For Your Next Summer Escape

Coastal cool from sand to street.

Synonymous with the start of summer, the humble basket bag is an accessory that has truly stood the test of time. Conjuring wanderlust for languid days by the sea and the coastal glamour of the French Riviera, this enduring item has earned its place in the hearts — and wardrobes — of many.

 

A veritable must-have with any vacation outfit, these days the quest for the right basket bag is arguably a joy to undertake, with many of the latest pieces reinvigorating the traditional style with vibrant leather accents, bold stitching and unexpected fringing to great effect.

 

Searching for one to make your own? Explore the Aje Edit of the best basket bags for a chic summer getaway.
