A few weeks ago while I was doing a style photoshoot my photographer Lauren mentioned that I was the first client of hers to pull out a basket bag. What can I say? I am over winter and ready for spring! Basket bags are a summer and spring staple piece. A bag that you can never have too many of. I remember as a kid loving to play with both of my grandmother’s basket bags. Cute clutches and top handles my one grandmother would take as she summered in Florida for the winter season. My other grandmother had a particular bag that would make a chirping noise when she walked. She told my sister and me that there was a baby bird in her purse but we weren’t allowed to see it because the little birdie was always sleeping. Obviously now I understand it was just the handle making noise, but as a 4 year old my grandmother was like Snow White to me.
