The Ultimate Summer Bag
Nothing says summer quite like a raffia bag. Lightweight and endlessly versatile, it’s the kind of accessory that works well on and off the beach, and even on a summer evening out. The good news? You don’t need to spend a fortune to get your hands on a chic designer version. From oversized totes to mini handle bags, they blend effortlessly into any summer wardrobe. For daytime, a roomy raffia tote is ideal to throw in your towel, sunglasses and SPF for the beach, or carry it with wide-leg trousers and a tank top for a city stroll. For a more polished look, try a shoulder or a clutch style with leather or silver trims.
They pair perfectly with linen co-ords or flowy dresses for those in between moments — think garden parties, brunches and long lunches. And when the sun goes down, swap your daytime tote for a mini crossbody bag. Styled with a slip dress, strappy sandals and some gold jewellery, it’s the easiest way to do summer effortless. While neutral tones remain a classic choice, black and brown are a great, yet still chic alternative. Nevertheless, whichever style you go for, a raffia bag brings that holiday feel into your everyday wardrobe.
