An Easy Summer Dressing Win:
The Basket Bag

We’ve been known to look to Jane Birkin on more than one occasion for dressing inspiration. And while her boot cut jeans and t-shirt combo is something many of us have emulated, it’s her love of a petite basket that has us currently taking notes. Instead of throwing your things in an oversized tote, we love the charming simplicity of a basket bag. (Spoiler alert: this new crop isn’t just for the beach or the farmers’ market, either.) Below, our edit of everything from a more structured, leather-accented style by Dolce & Gabbana to an effortless carryall from newcomer La Ligne to a gingham accented cross-body version from our go-to gal for mini bags, Edie Parker.
