7 Stylish Basketweave Fashion Accessories

 

I use baskets to package gifts, serve bread at the table, and most often, to organize our closets.  The other day, as I was sorting storage baskets and decluttering my closet to prepare for summer, I realized that there was one more decorative use of baskets that I had not explored.  I realized that I have very few stylish basketweave accessories in my wardrobe (gasp).  

Why should it matter?  Well,  as I mentioned in my last post, basket bags are often inexpensive, but practical and stylish.  They match with everything (even fur.) They are the epitome of casual, relaxed summer style.  How could I not want all those features, in a few handy accessories?  With that in mind, I set off on a mission to find the most stylish basketweave accessories in straw, jute, wicker, bamboo, and leather.  

Style 1:  Taco, Fan, Or Semi-Circle Basket Bag  

This season, one of the most popular shapes of basket bag is the semi-circle, also known as the fan, half-moon, or taco shape.  

Cult Gaia’s Ark handbag is the darling of fashion influencers.   Prices range from $150 – $498.  

I’m always a little skeptical of the copycat brands on Amazon.com, however, this Miuco bag received 451 reviews, 95% of which were 5-star ones (at the time of writing).  

Style 2: Full Circle Bag

If half of a circle just doesn’t feel like enough for you, there are plenty of full-circle styles.  This Staud Moon Raffia Tote comes in two color options.

Style 3: Straw Bucket Bag

The bucket bag has been very popular for a few years now.  Last year, it was in soft leather or fabric, with a drawstring closure.  More recently, bucket bags have been structured.  

Kayu, a company based in California and the Philippines, creates beautiful handmade straw bags.  Their Mila bag has a drawstring lining that keeps your essentials safe. Kayu employs Southeast Asian artisans and new immigrants in California who would otherwise be underemployed, so if you’re looking for a socially responsible, ethical brand, this is one of them

This is my Zara bucket bag which came with a fur pouch.  I am working on finding a summer-friendly pouch to replace the fur so that I can continue to use it in the next few months.  

Style 4: Straw And Raffia Keychains

This flower raffia keychain is an adorable accessory.

Style 5: Statement Straw Bags and Hats

Probably the most common straw pieces are the trapezoid beach tote and the straw hat; two symbols of spring picnics and beach vacations.  This year, they literally make statements, so if you want to show your mood or intention in writing, try one of these styles.  

Style 6: Basketweave And Raffia Earrings 

If you want just a little touch of basketweave, how about these earrings from Tuckernuck?

Style 7: Raffia or Leather Basketweave Sandals 

I’ve covered basket weave for your head, now how about your toes?! 

I just bought these Comfortiva Brileigh sandals  (you may have heard of their parent brand Söftt) which have a woven, basket-like texture but are made from soft leather.
