No more beach-only baskets: 7 gorgeous styles to rock in the city this summer, from Mango to Chloé

Wicker and raffia bags are all the rage in 2026, and they’re no longer confined to the beach or the Sunday market. From it-girls to the runway, these bags are now making an appearance on the street, at the office, and at parties—provided you choose the right style.

The basket in the city: a trend endorsed by the runways

Are wicker bags still in style? If you ask the likes of Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung, or Vittoria Ceretti, the answer is yes. Their golden straw and bohemian vibe continue to charm season after season, never growing old.

The only drawback is its beachy image, which doesn’t always fit well with city life. However, several brands have managed to overcome this hurdle with unique details, making these accessories truly street-friendly.

From Mango to Chloé, the 2026 collection has something for every budget and style. Each design offers its own take on the question: how can you carry a natural-fiber tote without looking like you’ve just come back from the beach?

“It’s not just for the beach or the weekend market.”

Models available for beginners

The Mango shopper bag, made of natural fiber, is designed for busy days. It holds all your essentials, from Pilates gear to a 13-inch laptop. Its standout feature: a zipper to keep your belongings secure, a practical detail often missing from wicker styles. It’s priced at €49.99, making it the perfect entry point into this trend.

To style it with flair, a white linen dress and flat leather sandals are all you need to put together a polished look, even in 30°C heat. Meanwhile, the Justine basket bag from Sézane can be carried on the shoulder or by hand and comes in seven styles, including three embroidered versions . It retails for €220. It pairs just as well with a midi skirt and espadrilles as it does with jeans and a white T-shirt.

• Mango: Natural-fiber shopper bag with zipper – €49.99
• Sézane: Justine basket in natural raffia, available in 7 styles, including 3 embroidered versions – €220

Mid-range styles to refine your urban boho look

The Umbra basket by Balzac Paris features a generously sized round shape, with a more relaxed and boho-chic vibe than most. Its laid-back style makes it the perfect companion for embroidered blouses and flowing pants. It retails for €245.

Farm Rio’s black mini basket breaks the mold. Its dark color and handle adorned with an exotic scarf give it a bold look. We can picture it paired with a monochrome jumpsuit, jeweled sandals, and a cuff bracelet. It retails for €265.

For its part, Vanessa Bruno’s small XS raffia bag exudes refined understated elegance. Its rigid bamboo handle and tone-on-tone mini tassels set it apart without being flashy. Basic pieces like an ecru camisole and Bermuda shorts let it shine naturally. It’s available for €255 at Place des Tendances.

How to style these accessories for everyday wear

The golden rule for carrying a raffia bag in the city is simple: let the accessory breathe. A minimalist outfit showcases the natural texture better than an over-the-top look.

In addition, playing with the materials around you helps create harmony. Linen, openwork cotton, or lightweight denim pair naturally with golden straw or beige raffia, without making the look feel too vacation-y.

The ultimate choice for lovers of natural luxury

Chloé’s large Woody basket is hand-woven and features a stitched logo. Its double handle makes it easy to carry. It can hold a laptop, a workout outfit, an e-reader, or your youngest child’s toys. It retails for €690 at 24S. To carry it around town, pairing it with Capri pants—which are making a big comeback this summer—is a bold and chic choice.

Le Tanneur’s small handmade tote features a cowhide leather handle and a removable shoulder strap. It can be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or across the body, depending on your needs for the day. It retails for €290. For a dolce vita vibe, pair it with a printed skirt, a crop top, and wedge espadrilles.

These two raffia styles prove that natural fibers can also be part of a subtle luxury aesthetic. Consequently, from shopper bags to large designer totes, the wicker and raffia bags of summer 2026 are every bit as stylish as classic leather bags when it comes to conquering the city.
