"So you know envelope clutches are big news at fashion week this season, but if you&amp;#39;re bored by the idea of a traditional handbag, we&amp;#39;ve got a too-cute-for-words substitute we spotted on a Glamour editor this morning...\nPinterestFacebookSay hi to Rachael and her modern-day take on Little Red Riding Hood! Instead of schlepping her stuff around in a predictable tote, she stowed everything in this vintage basket, and I was totally smitten with the idea. &amp;quot;What do you have in your basket?&amp;quot; I asked, teasing that maybe she was carrying a picnic. Lo and behold...&amp;quot;Apples!&amp;quot; she told me, lifting the lid to reveal two shiny granny smiths. Could she be any cuter!?\nPinterestFacebookThe whole scenario reminded me of the ever-chic Jane Birkin, who famously toted around a straw basket in the late 60s (before the beloved Herm\u00E9s Birkin was named after her!). Don&amp;#39;t you dolls love this cute take on early fall accessorizing? Would you ever consider carrying a basket as a handbag? Are you feeling ready to raid your attic for a few as we speak?
