Lulu Guinness's iconic Strawberry Bucket Bag has returned for summer 2026, and it has already been spotted on the arm of television presenter Alex Jones at the Chelsea Flower Show. The whimsical basket bag, first launched in 2003, has become a seasonal favourite among celebrities, frequently seen at Wimbledon and other summer events. Available for a limited time only, the bag is priced at £395 and is crafted from straw with intricate woven strawberries on the lid, red leather handles, and a classic monochrome striped interior.
A Celebrity Favourite
Alex Jones, host of The One Show, was photographed at the Chelsea Flower Show wearing the strawberry bag with a cream pinstripe two-piece, embodying springtime elegance. The bag's playful design made it the focal point of her outfit, proving that a single standout accessory can elevate a look. The bag measures approximately 15cm by 19cm, offering enough space for essentials like a phone, purse, and makeup items.
Limited Availability
The Strawberry Bucket Bag is only sold during the summer months and often sells out quickly. Its return for 2026 has been eagerly anticipated by fashion enthusiasts. For those unable to invest in the designer piece, Harrods offers a more affordable alternative: the Wicker Strawberry Bag at £40, made from red wicker with white seed details and a soft green fabric lining.
Other Summer Accessories
At the Chelsea Flower Show, Cat Deeley was also seen carrying a stylish raffia bag from Dune, the Essentials Raffia Bag priced at £99. This versatile piece can be used as a clutch or shoulder bag thanks to its removable chain, proving that simple raffia accessories are a chic choice for the season.
