Wicker Bags: Ultimate Summer Preppy Handbags

In recent years, it seems like every influencer is donning a Louis Vuitton, Prada, or Gucci handbag.

However, if you are going for the ultimate preppy look in summer bags and carryalls, designer brands have nothing to do with it, and the bags I’m going to show you won’t break the bank!

Wicker, rattan, and cane are the go-to spring and summer purses for any preppy gal.

These sturdily-shaped bags are usually fabric-lined and feature leather, wood, bamboo, and brass straps, handles, and closures.

Since they are available in their natural shades, they age beautifully over time so you’ll have them for years to come.

In addition, the natural material is neutral so it will go with EVERYTHING in your spring and summer wardrobe.

When looking for a preppy wicker bag, go for a structured shape such as tote bags, clutches, top handles, picnic basket shapes, and bucket bags.

Avoid anything slouchy or relaxed when choosing a preppy summer rattan bag.

I’ve rounded up some of the best classic preppy bags for you below!
