Joe Browns' £35 strawberry basket bag is the must-have accessory for Wimbledon
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.'

Stella McCartney, 53, enjoys a rare outing with lookalike daughter Bailey, 18, as they head out for a low-key shopping trip together in Notting Hill
Stella McCartney was spotted on a rare outing with her lookalike daughter Bailey as they enjoyed a shopping trip together in Notting Hill on Saturday. The designer, 53, opted for a more laid-back look than the glamorous pieces she creates as she headed out for a spot of retail therapy. Bailey, who celebrated her 18th birthday in December, emulated her mum's relaxed sense of style in a blue striped top and grey wide-legged trousers. Meanwhile Stella was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and baggy jeans, as she and her daughter shared a sweet moment during the outing. Stella shares four children with British publisher Alasdhair Willis, who she married in 2003, sons Miller, 20, and Beckett, 17, and daughters Bailey and Reiley, 14. Despite her busy schedule, Stella had previously shared that she makes a point of dropping her children to school five days a week. In a 2019 interview with Vogue the designer, who divides her time between London and North Gloucestershire, said that as a working mother, she has to make the most of whatever time she can get in the day with her children. Opening up about the daily school run, she said: 'When you've got a job and you've got kids, it's when you get to see them, and you have to wake up super early and engage in that moment. 'Then I try and squeeze in some exercise, and then I go to work. And I try and get back for the bookending of being a mum.' Stella was fiercely guarded about her family's privacy throughout their childhood, and never shares photos of her children on social media. In a 2016 interview with Porter, Stella said she tried to give her heads a more level-headed upbringing than she had, as the daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney. She said: 'I lived on a farm, but I went on tour and I knew crazy famous people, like crazy. And for my children, it's not dissimilar, they go to the farm and they're in the field getting muddy and falling over, and then they come here and they're surrounded by crazy famous people. 'I worry about that. But I think I turned out okay-ish, and I hope that they will be okay.' She added that her kids also have 'a great relationship' with their grandfather, saying: 'I love seeing them with Grandpa, or Grandude as they call him. They're real proud of him and they get excited by [his music].' Paul himself had also said he has a 'pretty normal' relationship with his grandchildren, despite his huge fame. Speaking on Chris Evan's Virgin Radio Breakfast show, he said: 'You know, I love them and I love being a granddad. And we spend quite a good bit of time together. 'We don't live near each other, but we go on holiday together, like Christmas. And in the summer we'll see each other. And then sometimes me and Nancy pick them up from school. So that's nice.' Stella tied the knot with publisher Alasdhair back in August 2003 with a Mount Stuart House ceremony. She is one of Paul's five children, with the former Beatles star also sharing daughters Heather, Mary and son James, with his late wife Linda McCartney. While sharing youngest daughter Beatrice with Heather Mills. Launched in 2001, Stella's brand has attracted many high-profile fans such as Beyoncé, Amal Clooney and Taylor Swift. It sells products such as vegan leather shoulder bags for £925 and a leopard print trench coat for £1,790. McCartney has also designed Team GB's kit for the Olympic Games since 2012. But her company has not reaped a profit since it made £9m in 2017, and in March, the label said it would need further cash in 2028 amid a drastic global slowdown in demand for luxury fashion.

This brings the price of the statement shoes down to £46.75. The Flexi Mary Janes are ideal for adding a pop of colour to any outfit, whether it's a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, or a smock dress. Boden says the shoes will 'raise a smile' whenever the wearer looks down at their feet. For shoppers who prefer a plain shoe, Boden also sells the footwear in plain red with the same soft pink edging. It's worth noting, however, that this colour option is currently sold out in a few sizes, highlighting the popularity of the Mary Janes. Boden isn't the only retailer selling quirky leopard print footwear at a discounted price. Clarks is offering the Emelina Gem Leopard Print ballet pumps on sale for £26, reduced from £40. These are available in sizes 3 to 8 and have a delicate buckle strap. Next is selling leopard print Forever Comfort Ballerinas Shoes in standard and wide fits for £22.

They make an everyday outfit feel that little bit special." "These are cute, comfortable fabric shoes," wrote another happy buyer. "Great to have a soft, light shoe for summer. I love Mary Janes and find sandals don't work for me." However, they did go on to note: "I am usually a size 40, so bought that. Even looking at these shoes, they seem more like a 39." Someone else found the leopard print Flexi Mary Janes to be 'not true to size', as they explained: "Pretty, nice shoes but unfortunately having to return these… I'm usually a 39/40, I ordered the 40 but they pinch across the top of my foot and are rubbing at the back. I may order a 41 if there's another sale on." In contrast, a five-star review reads: "Very cool shoe. So comfortable and snazzy."

Brooks Nader suffers very racy wardrobe malfunction in skimpy dress as she parties in Saint-Tropez
Brooks Nader commanded attention when she was spotted stepping out in Saint-Tropez for a night on the town this weekend. The 28-year-old supermodel has been basking in the delights of Europe this summer, including taking a viral trip to Wimbledon. Now she has made her way down to the South of France, where she was glimpsed heading towards the upscale club VIP Room by the waterfront. She was decked out in a peekaboo black gown that was perfectly fitted to highlight her enviably svelte frame as she pounded the pavement en route to the venue. Sharpening her unmistakable features with makeup, she let her caramel-colored locks cascade freely over her shoulders in luscious waves. Her outfit was so revealingly cut that she briefly suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the street, as one of the slender straps covering her bust drifted off to one side. Brooks' latest blunder comes after she demonstrated her healthy sense of humor about herself while addressing an outfit mishap at Wimbledon. The sizzling sensation stuck to the themes of summertime and tennis, slipping into a white skirt for the world-famous tournament. But while she was in public, her period started and she bled through the fabric, with stains visible along the back of the skirt. She laughed off the snafu on TikTok, posting a video of herself getting confidently up from a table only for her sisters to start cringing at her. At that point Brooks turned around and the shot ran down the length of her outfit, so that the stains were in clear view on camera. The Baton Rouge-born clotheshorse poked fun at herself the in text over the video as well, writing: 'tries to be chic,' and then: 'Starts [blood emoji] at Wimbledon.' Fans leapt into the comments to praise her for being 'real' and 'NORMALIZING it,' with one writing: 'A canon event for all us girlies.' 'The one time you wear something non sheer and maxi,' joked one commenter with crying, praying and heart emoji - earning a like from Brooks. Brooks waved off the mishap and sat cheerfully in the audience at Wimbledon that day, with her sister Sarah Jane right beside her. She had another wardrobe malfunction in April at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where her structured dress drifted forward at one point and exposed her left nipple. Her latest outing comes three months after confirmed she has once again split from Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko, 41. Brooks and Gleb started dating while competing as a team on Dancing With The Stars last autumn, triggering allegations they were engaged in a 'showmance.' They briefly broke up late last year but rekindled their romance, until it emerged in early April that Brooks had decided to leave him. Brooks' sister Grace has accused Gleb of being unfaithful, which he staunchly denied, insisting he is 'not a cheater' or a 'f***boy,' via E! News. Gleb was previously married to Russian artist Elena Samodanova for 14 years until she filed for divorce near the end of 2020. Their acrimonious split played out in the headlines, with Elena accusing Gleb of repeated infidelity and Gleb denying her allegations. Meanwhile, Brooks was seen chatting with Tom Brady at Michael Rubin's star-studded Fourth Of July party in 2024, setting off an avalanche of dating rumors. The sighting came days after she shared a kiss with Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark in the functions leading up to Olivia Culpo's wedding. Brooks separated from her husband Billy Haire in May 2024 after four years of marriage, with a source informing the split was amicable. Billy, who tied the knot with Brooks in December 2019, works as a vice president at The Arena Group, which published Sports Illustrated until earlier this year. Brooks first rose to fame by winning the Sports Illustrated Swim Search in 2019, and last year she was featured on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue. She and her sisters Mary, Grace and Sara are now all starring together on a reality show called Love Thy Nader, slated to bow on Hulu and Freeform this summer.
