About the Item:

Alexandra discovered this charming vintage wicker basket bag at Vintage Martini in Dallas. Featuring a tightly woven body, a curved wooden handle, and an oval wooden plaque adorned with two ivory-colored dolphins, the bag is finished with coordinating decorative accents and a distinctive toggle closure. Its structured silhouette recalls the traditional Nantucket lightship baskets that became fashionable summer accessories, although its exact origins remain unconfirmed. Alexandra purchased the bag years ago but never quite worked it into her wardrobe. “I love that. I got it at Vintage Martini in Dallas. I don't know if it's from Nantucket or not,” she recalls. Whether carried with a summer dress or a simple pair of jeans, it has an old-fashioned charm particularly suited to warm-weather dressing.
