British heritage meets the Hamptons in this oversized cotton and seagrass weave bag, fresh from the JW Anderson Spring/Summer 2020 runway.

Zara
Chronic over-packer? You’ll fit everything inside this oblong number with the nifty drawstring keeping everything safe inside. Full style marks for the pop of golden satin.
£29.99
Mango
Mango have pulled it out the bag (sorry) with this one. The leather straps, tassles and pocket up the chic creds and it looks miles more expensive than it is.
£35.99
The Conran Shop
Channel summer in the south of France with this hand-woven classic rattan rose bag. The chic bow detailing and long leather strap ooze luxe.
£200
Flo & Joe
Gotta love a bag that has a strap and a handle (how cool is this circle one?) to take it from day to night. This hand-woven option is available online from Oxfordshire-based boutique Flo & Joe.
£34
& Other Stories
This sandy fringed option nails beach babe style – totally effortless with the added glam of gold thread weaved throughout.
£45
Top Shop
This whimsical shell shaped bag strikes the perfect balance between kitsch and cool with ivory-style handles and stylish muted tones. Even better, it’s currently on sale.
£20 reduced from £29
H&M
Offering a understated take on the trend, this simple spherical cross-body bag will go with pretty much any outfit you put it with. Also available in baby pink.
£12.99
Accessorize
This funky grab bag nails both the basket bag and polka dot trend in one fell swoop, with diamanté added to the mix for good measure. Perfect for a balmy summer evening on the town (when we’re allowed out again).
£18.90 reduced from £27
Zara Kids
Too cute not to include is this gingham-lined basket bag for kids. The little ears and woven whiskers offer a playful spin on the trend.
