Why do we want basket bags in the summer?
When the temperature starts to rise, for some reason I suddenly find myself craving a basket bag.
Whether you're walking down the street or browsing a shopping site, your eyes will naturally be drawn to basket bags. There's actually a good reason for this phenomenon.
Reason 1: The "lightness" you want in your summer outfits
Lightness is key in summer fashion. Heavy leather bags or bulky nylon bags will always look out of place in the season.
The natural texture of the basket bag is perfect for light summer styling. Pair it with a linen dress or cotton blouse to create a natural yet elegant look.
Reason 2: The practical benefit of breathability
Considering the heat of summer, breathability of a bag is surprisingly important. If the material is airtight, the contents inside may become damp or the bag itself may become hot.
Basket bags allow air to pass through the weave, keeping the contents comfortable. This breathability is also a welcome feature for wallets, cosmetics, smartphones, and other precision equipment.
Reason 3: The desire for natural materials and their psychological effects
Living in a city, you unconsciously have a strong desire to be in nature, especially in the summer, a season when you spend more time in nature, such as at the sea or in the mountains.
The natural materials used to make basket bags, such as rattan and sisal, fulfill this yearning for nature. Just holding one of these bags will make you feel lighter in your heart.
Reason 4: The perfect balance of large capacity and light weight
When going out in the summer, you tend to carry a surprising amount of luggage, such as sunscreen, insect repellent spray, towels, etc. Basket bags have more storage capacity than they look, and are lightweight.
If the bag has a wide gusset, it can easily fit a water bottle or a folding umbrella. It's a great way to reduce the burden of carrying heavy luggage while still maintaining a stylish look.
Reason 5: Its versatile design is also appealing
The appeal of basket bags is their versatility, allowing them to be worn with a wide range of styles, from casual to dressy. From a relaxed look with jeans and a T-shirt to a going-out look with a dress, one bag can be used for a variety of occasions.
It's rare to find an item that is as useful as this in your limited summer wardrobe.
Recommended: Sisal Bags
Among the various summer basket bags, we especially recommend sisal bags. Sisal is a natural material made from the fibers of the agave plant, which is native to Africa. Sisal is stronger than typical rattan basket bags, and the more you use it, the more it develops its own unique character.
The most attractive feature of sisal bags is their durability. They retain their shape even with daily use, making them a long-lasting favorite. Another plus is their beautiful natural color, which goes well with any outfit. Many are individually handmade by artisans in Africa, making them perfect for those who are conscious of ethical consumption.
summary
The reason why we want basket bags in the summer is due to a combination of factors, such as lightness, breathability, the desire for natural materials, practicality, and versatility.
Sisal bags are an ideal choice as they meet all of these criteria while also being sustainable.
This summer, why not enjoy some light and quality time with your favorite sisal bag?
