Lady Dior Natural Wicker Bag
When I first saw the Lady Dior Bag Natural Wicker, it was love at first site. The way Dior was able to incorporate the classic Lady Dior Bag with a Wicker Bag style is pure perfection if you ask me. The Dior Wicker Bag features the classic wicker material was done by hand and features an embroidered Christian Dior logo band across the front. In addition to the bag, the inside has a Dior logo Pouch and includes a cross body strap.
The Dior Wicker bags were released in multiple colors and has sold out pretty quickly of the neutral colors, don’t worry because rumor has it they will restock soon. Given that Wicker bags are typically only worn for two seasons, and the price point of this Dior bag being at over $6,000 for the full size and slightly over $5000 for the mini. I plan on purchasing this bag at a discount on vintage market!
YSL Wicker Bag: Kaia Raffia Crossbody Bag
YSL is no stranger to a Wicker bag, or as they call it, a Straw bag. Due to their popularity, they have been releasing difficult straw bags models for the past few years. There are a few YSL Wicker bags that I love, but the one that really caught my eye and had me lusting after was the Saint Laurent Kaia Raffia Crossbody Bag. This bag combines both leather material and straw material to create a masterpiece.
What I love about this wicker bag is it is both casual and can be dressed up at the same time. YSL has done it again, making a classic piece that is gorgeous and showcases its impeccable craftsmanship.

The cream de la crème of wicker bags is the Hermes Kelly Picnic Wicker bag. My ultimate dream bag. This bag that is a little out of my budget, but will continue to lust after it from afar. I’m no stranger to Hermes Bags, and Kelly bags specifically, but there is something about the Hermes Kelly Wicker Bag that has me swooning over this handbag.
The Hermes Kelly Picnic bag has been around for years, but it was the Hermes Kelly Picnic bag mini size which was released 4 years ago that caught my attention. This is known to be one of the more difficult Hermes Bags to get your hands on and is often compared to getting offered an exotic Hermes bag. Which is why many people purchase their Hermes bags from the vintage market.
