Six basket bags with year-round appeal

Basket bags have been the ultimate summertime accessory since the '50s - they never go out of style. We design and make our basket bags to last a lifetime, as well as to see you through all seasons. Here are six of our best basket bags with year-round appeal, so your favourite accessory can continue to shine, even when the sun's a no show.

SAMPELA HANDHELD BUCKET BAG

Jane Birkin popularised the bucket-shaped basket bag in the 1960s, when she took her hamper-style handbag to the Parisian streets. Our Sampela is our modern interpretation of this timeless silhouette. Playful and practical, it's handcrafted from organically grown atta grass and lined in cotton drill, which closes with a cord drawstring to keep your belongings safe.

SIAP TAPERED TOTE

The market-style tote is a transeasonal must-have, and our Siap tapered tote combines practicality and style in equal measure for timeless, everyday appeal. With two sizes to choose from you can keep it petite for a charming take on the shape, or go large with a holdall that can carry all your shopping, and more.

CEMAGI RAFFIA TOTE

Our Cemagi updates the boxy silhouette of a typical tote to create a soft and sculptural bag that's both durable and malleable in equal measure. Handcrafted from natural raffia and featuring an external lontar pocket, it's handwoven from natural plant fibres to create a lightweight, flat-packable bag with a statement texture and added practicality.

POSO SHOPPER

Handcrafted from organically grown atta grass, our Poso shopper is one of our best-selling basket bags. Available in two sizes, it has been designed and crafted with both style and convenience in mind. Structured in form, this enduring and chic handbag effortlessly marries practicality and charm, whatever the time of year.

SITA RAFFIA CLUTCH BAG

We love clutch bags for their style and versatility. A practical accessory in their own right, they can also be slipped into a larger bag as a chic way to organise your belongings. Available in two sizes, our Sita is handcrafted from organically grown bamboo and features a playful raffia trim, adding a pop of colour to any look.

MENTAWAI BAMBOO TOTE

Our Mentawai tote is next level when it comes to basket bags, with its double-layer weaving technique that makes it robust, lightweight and crafted to withstand the tests of time. Couple this with its timeless design, size options and choice of jacquard colourways, and it's easy to see why this basket bag holds such transeasonal appeal.
