YOU NEED A STRAW BAG EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT JANE BIRKIN

We owe it to style icon Jane Birkin for starting this trend in the 70'.  No accessory defines her effortless style more than the iconic straw basket that  bears her name. She carried it everywhere, slung over one arm: filled with green apples at a street market or stuffed with loose reading papers at the airport. Her basket bag actually inspired Jean Louis Damas former head of Herme's to create one of the label's biggest It bags' too: Herme's's Birkin bag.

Since last year we can see basket bags everywhere, but the micro trend that become huge is straw bags.They are definitely the summer's chicest  accessory.

It doesn't matter if you plan a vacation in Greece, Bali or the French Riviera, or just hanging up with your friends for dinner or a bar. You  are going to embrace one of those bags, even if you are not Jane Birkin!! They give your outfit the perfect total look for those hot days. and beyond this they became an Instagram hit!!! So, who doesn't want to look like a french girl?
