The annual Loewe Paula’s Ibiza collaboration always provides the season’s most coveted basket bags, but this year’s take on the Puzzle Fold tote takes the top spot. Thanks to the design’s origami-like construction, the raffia body folds completely flat, so it will slip into your suitcase like an item of clothing.

Raffia is no longer reserved for beach days – here, Valentino Garavani’s turquoise, coral and crystal beading turn it into a staple summer-evening accessory, coupled with the chic baguette silhouette of its signature Locò bag.

A roomy, hold-all shape to store all your beach essentials is crucial when heading to the shore, making Christian Louboutin’s By My Side tote the ultimate choice. Plus, the woven structure and knotted-rope straps make fittingly nautical nods to the seaside, so you’ll fit right in.

A trusty crossbody is a must-have for days of exploring on holiday. No one wants to be laden with an overflowing tote bag when navigating cobblestone streets in 30° heat. Easily packable, the Marni Marcel bag is the perfect solution, with a stylish rope strap making it hands-free.

It’s said that good things come in small packages, and this mini Miu Miu is a prime example. The typical straw beach-bag shape is downsized to hold just the daily essentials, meaning you can take the beach with you wherever you go.

Running errands, but make it summer. Stella McCartney’s signature Falabella has always been the ultimate everyday bag (this one even doubles up as a beach bag) – and it’s one of the most beloved non-leather styles on the market. Here, its raffia silhouette is made from organic cotton and a blend of recycled materials.

Anya Hindmarch’s signature googly eyes pay dues to the inherently relaxed nature of the basket bag – a perfectly light-hearted touch when you’re firmly in vacation mode. Ideal for those who like to embrace their playful side while out-of-office.

Whether you’re a destination bride, a wedding guest or headed to any summer occasion, this Jimmy Choo piece puts a holiday spin on the most formal of bags, the clutch. Its clean lines and simple branding make it an elegant addition to your summer eveningwear.

Prada’s crocheted tote bags have become a seasonal icon over recent years, peppering our Instagram feeds on the arms of countless stars and influencers. The versatile shoppers come in a wide range of colours, but it’s this yellow-green hue topping our list for 2024.

A basket bag in the truest sense of the word, this Staud Moon bag will find itself more at home in an English garden than on tropical shores, reminiscent of picnic baskets in its woven-wicker frame.
