Straw bags 2020, the summer models
Jane Birkin style fashion. Straw bags worn over the shoulder or on the arm
Just like Jane Birkin, we will be wearing straw bags throughout 2020. Starting now, in the height of summer. Not only that: we will return to the office with bucket bags and shoppers full of natural weaves.
We used to show off straw bags on the beach or on the seafront, in the warmer months, between July and August. The wrong way to wear it if we think about the style of the beautiful icon Jane Birkin: even before the Hermès bag, from which it owes its name, Serge Gainsbourg's wife in fact made the straw bag a must-have accessory of the Parisian style. She was adopted from Paris and defined the basic ingredients of Parisian fashion so naturally, simply, and so chic at the same time. No accessory is more refined than a basket bag, ready to contain everything you need and more.
Like Jane Birkin
Between a whispered Je t'aime and a bicycle ride, in the 60s and 70s Birkin used to wear this accessory with flared jeans and micro t-shirts or with super sexy clothes. Her look at the Cannes Film Festival remains unforgettable, when on the croisette she presented herself in 1974 wearing an asymmetrical velvet garment and with her basket, dangling from her arm. As modest as it is chic, the image deeply marks the style of the time.
Straw bags of summer 2020
Seen before on the runways, now straw bags are back in fashion: important are the totes and shopping bags that replace those in leather and waxed fabric, while the more discreet bucket bags are designed for romantic looks, to be combined with denim and wide skirts in linen or flax. Wear one also in the evening, as Jane demonstrates. We suggest you match your straw bag with asymmetrical dark silk dresses, slip-dresses and even very light Bermuda shorts. The Parisienne effect is guaranteed.
