Joe Browns has dropped the perfect Wimbledon accessory for the season, and its strawberry basket bag is now slashed from £50 to £35 in the summer sale
The first week of Wimbledon is underway and we’ve already seen plenty of stars and celebrities sitting courtside to enjoy the tennis. Personally we think this year’s Wimbledon outfits have been just as exciting as the matches, and we’re already mentally planning our very own courtside looks – even if we’ll be only watching on TV.
There’s one accessory we’ve had our eye on since it launched, and it’s the perfect accompaniment for your Wimbledon strawberries and cream. This adorable Sweet Strawberry Bag from Joe Browns is an instant must-have addition to our tennis-themed outfits, and to make it even sweeter, it’s now on sale down from £50 to £35.

The Sweet Strawberry Bag has a woven basket-style design that gives instant picnics in the sun vibes, and the whimsical strawberry design makes it perfect for bringing a little fun and joy to a simple tennis whites outfit. It’s not just Wimbledon you can carry it to though; you could just as easily take it to a summer wedding or garden party, or even just use it as a fun day time bag while you’re out and about.
It has a retro-inspired look, with a bright red woven wicker outer, with tiny ribbons woven through it to give the look of seeds. The “stem” of the strawberry is actually the fastening, with two faux brown leather straps which fasten together with a press stud, and green faux leather details on the top give the look of leaves.
It features a handy inside pocket to organise your belongings, with a surprisingly roomy interior. There’s also an adjustable shoulder strap so you can wear it on your shoulder or like a cross body.
If you want the strawberry design without it being shaped like an actual piece of fruit, we also love this Strawberry Embroidered Straw Tote Bag from Stella McCartney. Currently on sale down from £137 to £82.20, it has a woven basket style shape with crochet strawberries on the front, a drawstring pouch top and a grab top handle.
A more subtle take on the trend is Next’s Pink Strawberry Top Handle Bag, which is £34. It has a classic square design with a top handle and envelope fastening, with dainty strawberry charms dangling from the flap.
To bring some glamour, we absolutely love The Fiona Beaded Bag: Food & Drink Edition at Anthropologie. Priced at £88, the bag is fully beaded with a strawberries and cream pattern all over it, or you can choose from olives, tomatoes or donut prints if strawberries just aren’t your bag.
However, Joe Browns shoppers have been going wild for its Sweet Strawberry Bag, giving it a five out of five star rating. One said: “It so well made worth the price,” whilst another agreed: “So whimsical and cute, looks well made.”
One wrote: “Very nice bag. Bit of a pain having a pepper closure, most bags now have a magnetic fastening but as its only for occasional use I’ll put up either it. Also it won’t stand up. But again it’s only for occasional use.”
And others raved about it, writing: “The strawberry bag is gorgeous and really funky. It is super stylish and looks great with spring/summer outfits. I would recommend this bag to anyone.”
