Straw bags

If you want to be absolutely and totally up to date at the moment, you will need to get yourself a straw bag. And not one of those massive Sunday-market jobbies with leather straps, (though those are fine at a pinch and that’s what I’m making do with – boo hoo), but a new breed of straw bag.

Following as I do the entire fashion press and the worlds’ most fashioney people on Instagram on your behalf, I can tell you the most desirable bags to get.

The first is this on a website called Wood/Grey and it’s a super-cute round shoulder bag. It’s pre-ordering at the moment but if you’re into it, worth hanging around for. £79.

This style of bag is also really popular, but they are sold out on this website. But keep a sharp eye out, as they will be everywhere quite soon.

This website, Bohemia (wouldn’t it be funny if they were actually a firm of accountants?) has pretty much every style and shape of straw bag and basket you could ever want, at very okay prices. I think this one would bring any summer outfit you’ve got bang up to date for only £36.

The major fashion girls are doing a thing where they carry about a tiny wicker basket (think Little Red Riding Hood) lined with cotton, with a lid, handkerchief tied to the handle. But I don’t think you and I need to do that.

    So, any straw bag as long as it’s round, then?

    Love the idea of tiny home ec. baskets on fashionistas, probably not filled with inedible baking courtesy of a teacher who honed her skills during rationing (no, I’m not scarred at all by that).
