Which size Woven Leather Basket is right for your holiday? I thought I’d do a little comparison post and tell you what you can fit in each one… I also need to say that this is absolutely an all year round basket. They look as fabulous on holiday as with a trench or winter coat. Which one you choose will depend on where you are going and what your needs are but hopefully this might help you!
The Woven Leather Baskets are one of the most popular products. Incredible quality and a great price. The regular has 97 x 5 star reviews and has been purchased by fashion editors, stylists and style influencers.
“Just what I was looking for! I love the Dragon Diffusion bags but they are way too expensive, so when I saw this alternative from Scott Samuel I snapped one up and I'm not disappointed. The quality of workmanship on this bag is superb and I look forward to taking it on my holiday to Sorrento."
Small woven leather basket - The perfect day to night bag. I use this size if I’m going shopping or out for the day. The inner cotton pouch is trimmed with leather and has a zipped section. I put my purse, phone and other handbag stuff in there (glasses, sunglasses) . If I’m taking an umbrella or water bottle I tend to put those in the basket (outside the pouch). My friend Margarita (stylist @love.your.wardobe) (pictured above) has this bag and always takes it away with her when she heads abroad on a city break.
Bag dimensions: Small (38cm width x 23cm heightx 24cm handle height)
Regular woven leather basket - this is a little bigger than the ‘small’ not a huge amount in it. Again a great daytime sized bag with a little more room! Dimensions- Regular (42cm width x 23cm height x 24cm handle height (these sizes are both on the same listing)
I use this size bag a lot. It would work well as hand luggage and then you could use it while you are away as your day to day , beach bag / pool bag or your main bag if you are on a city break. Below is Lauren @styledby_mrsj with her regular in dark brown on holiday in Turkey. If you aren't carrying lots of stuff then this would make a great size beach bag.
The Buttermilk Leather basket is similar to the Regular size wise. It’s a great holiday choice for a smaller beach bag or for a city break and goes with so much. Below is @piavibekegrace pictured with hers. Again
The black I think always looks chic but I love the tan / brown and dark brown too. I use all of the colours on rotation depending on what I’m wearing! The black is available in all sizes. Check the listings for the colours by sizes.
The large basket is a great choice if you want to carry a bit more… and is the ideal holiday choice for me. Take as hand luggage and then use as my beach bag / pool bag. Large pictured below in black on @katiemaxwellstylist and main pic is the large in brown / tan.
Large dimensions: (48cm width x 25cm bag height x 24cm handle height )
and below is Faith @just.a.bit.of.faith with the large basket in buttermilk, perfect for a Summer City break.
Please remember though these bags are not designed for laptops, books and folders or heavy loads. Although the woven leather is sturdy the straps will not take heavy loads and may weaken and unravel if overloaded.
