Dear Friend,
One of the questions I've gotten recently about our woven tote bags is, "I love them so much, but I don't live by the water. How would I use it?" Such a good question.
For me, woven bags become my everyday bags the minute the weather turns warm. I use the Soleil Tote when I need to carry a bit more, whether that's a laptop, a change of clothes, or everything I need for a day away from home. The Basket Tote is my daily companion. My laptop, water bottle, and Sling Bag fit inside perfectly.
The beauty of a woven bag isn't that you have to live by the beach to carry one. It's that it brings an effortless, summer feel to whatever you're already wearing. It instantly makes an outfit feel more intentional, relaxed, and summer-ready, no matter where you are - Nantucket, Chicago, or nowhere near a beach.
And no one demonstrates that better than my design partner on the Basket Tote, Natalie. Whether she's traveling, heading to a meeting, or simply running errands, the Basket Tote feels right at home. It pairs just as naturally with linen trousers and a button-down as it does with a swimsuit and sandals.
Below are a few of my favorite examples of Natalie styling the Basket Tote. Consider this your proof that coastal cool can work anywhere.
xo,
Abby
