Effortless and Eternally Chic—The 9 Best Luxury Basket Bags to Invest in Now
I've ranked the 9 best designer basket bags if you're looking to invest this summer.


There's a reason straw bags come back every summer: they're eternally chic. Since the days of Jane Birkin stepping out with her wicker market bag, anyone looking to nail understated, timeless summer style has turned to a basket bag as the ultimate warm-weather accessory.
Of course, you can pick up any old raffia bag at a market on holiday to do the job, but if you're a dedicated basket lover and you're looking to invest in a style that feels more elevated than your average, and of the very best quality to pull out and rely on every summer, I'd recommend turning to one of the best designer basket bags on the market right now.
Honestly, if you're looking for luxury in your raffia companion, you're spoiled for choice for summer 2025. Loewe's classic tote may have been one of the first designer forays into logo basket bags, but now every luxury brand worth knowing about has tapped into the trend. From the mega-giants like Prada and Saint Laurent to smaller, emerging premium brands like DeMellier, there are options to fit your bill.
In fact, there are so many summer bag options in raffia, woven and wicker fabrications in all shapes and sizes nowadays that for this list of the best of the best designer basket bags, I wanted it to be focused on exactly that—traditional, larger, market-style tote baskets that you can throw over your shoulder and chuck all those summer essentials in. These bags all work perfectly as beach bags and travel carry-ons, but since they have that luxurious polish they all look right at home in the city with your smartest workwear as well.
From Saint Laurent's beautifully understated Panier to Loewe's modern take with the Puzzle Fold, DeMellier's more affordable leather-trimmed style to The Row's logo-less Emilie. If you've been thinking of investing in a designer basket bag, this is your definitive list of the chicest styles available for summer 2025.
