While we’ve extensively covered the basket and Girls Gold Glitter Bag, we’ve neglected to discuss wicker. However, as we inch closer to the summer solstice, there’s no time like the present to unpack this extremely novel, but undeniably perfect for summer material.
While a simple basket bag like Loewe’s iconic Anagram Basket Bag tends to be more affordable, wicker bags, which are intricate and detailed, are quite the opposite. The beautiful and rare Hermès Picnic Kelly will cost you quite a penny on the resale market, but if you’re set on the picnic chic style this summer, there’s plenty more where that came from.
Wicker bags are ideal for a picnic in the park, dinner by the water, an evening river cruise, or anything that requires a quintessential summer outfit. Quite the novelty, wicker bags are structured but stylish and perfect for the warm weather months.
While raffia and crochet are the more ubiquitous seasonal trends, wicker offers a more special appeal, as it’s less widespread during the summer months (and price is most certainly a factor). Still, a girl can dream…
Celine Teen Garance
Something about the juxtaposition of the natural calfskin, wicker, and bold gold Triomphe logo has me hooked. Forget about best for last; best comes first in this case. This one is what I mean when I say picnic chic!
Louis Vuitton Capucines
A new classic (and fan favorite) gets a warm-weather makeover, and you’d definitely see this one carried in Ibiza or Saint Barts. This pink leather trim adds a pop of color not seen in many other places.
Prada Medium Wicker Tote
She’s a classic. We’ve seen her and we loved her…we still do! I like that this wicker bag isn’t just a current popular bag in a novelty material. It will always feel relevant for the warm weather season, never dated to a specific period in fashion.
Gucci Bamboo Wicker Basket Bag
signature small flap cross body bag logo lovers?! (Raises hand) I love that this one combines a seasonal trend with classic Gucci elements like Bamboo and GG Monogram.

If I had $10K to spare, I’d buy this for my mom, who loves her Andiamo.
Miu Miu Wander
This is perfect for the influencer who is heading on a brand trip to the South of France (or Capri) for the first time.

Attending a wedding on the Italian coast this summer? Roger Vivier’s got you covered with this show-stopping beauty.
Loro Piana Bale Bag
Perfect for shopping uptown, followed by a lunch at Le Bilboquet.
I also love the Veronica beard wicker bags, and the Pamela Munson lady bag. It PAINS me to think of spending thousands on a wicker bag because they are so stinking fragile.
If you catch it on something and snap a piece off there’s no way to hide it. In my experience raffia is more forgiving.
These prices are diabolical. Just because I can, doesn’t mean I will. Yikes!
These prices are insane. As long as fools will keep buying $50 bags for $5,000, they will keep going up.
Mi like the concept of the Gucci bag. It’s a bit busy even for me. It only needed the bamboo handles and a plain inner pouch. Ditch the brown leather. For me, a wicker bag looks better clean.
