If anyone embodied Parisian chic, it was 1970s actress Jane Birkin († 76) – despite the style icon being British by birth. More iconic than the French laissez-faire style was his love of the woven wicker basket. The simple wicker basket became his trademark. While the bag has always been a classic in France, the rest of the world needed time to discover the everyday item as a fashionable trend piece.

In the summer of 2017, “Birkin Basket” was highly appreciated in Europe for the first time. Influencers like Julie Sarinana (@sincerelyjules) or Vanessa Hong (@thehautepursuit) no longer carried expensive designer bags but simple wicker baskets from small independent fashion brands.

The it-piece can now be found in every fashion house. Those who can afford it will be happy with luxury brands like Dolce & Gabbana or Prada. But inexpensive brands like Zara or Topshop also offer a variety of new interpretations of the “Birkin Basket”. Whichever model you choose, the only thing that matters is that nothing goes better with a wicker basket than the undoubted composure of the French.

Jane Birkin is dead

British-French singer and actress Jane Birkin has died at the age of 76. Birkin was found dead at his home in Paris on Sunday, according to insider information. Among other things, Birkin became known for the song “Je t’aime … moi non plus”, which he recorded in 1969 with then-partner Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991).
