58 Best Raffia Bags to Carry Throughout the Summer and Beyond  | Vogue

Anyone with an iota of fashion knowledge can attest to the fact that the Birkin is one of the world’s most desired bags. But what about the other Birkin bag? The woven basket is just as synonymous with the late Jane Birkin as the luxury Hermès bag named after her. It’s thanks to the style icon that said carryall is synonymous with a) the French-girl aesthetic we all know and love and b) spring-to-summer style. This season, however, the best raffia bags are not confined to the classic basket shape. From slouchy totes to minimal mini bags, there’s a style to suit every taste. Celebrate the official start of summer with a touch of raffia or two. It’s a chic final touch to any vacation or summer-in-the-city outfit, after all.

If last spring and summer was dominated by the Prada raffia tote, allow us to introduce you to Tory Burch’s version. Hand-crocheted and roomy enough to store all your essentials, the brand’s Ella tote is ideal for every day or even a weekend getaway. Like Birkin’s classic basket bag, DeMellier’s Santorini tote is a welcome upgrade. Style the staple with a crisp white dress or a great jean for the ultimate quiet luxury look. Much to our delight, The Row has also dipped its toes into raffia for summer, with options in black and natural in a range of desirable sizes. Also on our summer most-wanted list is Khaite’s minimalist moon bag, which transitions from ladylike to cool-girl seamlessly. Other notable mentions go out to Saint Laurent’s mesh tote, Loewe’s Puzzle pick, and Rabanne’s metallic must-have. And because no raffia roundup could be complete without a high-street hero or two, you’ll find favorites from from Madewell, Banana Republic, and Sézane—all for under $300—in this edit.

Below, the 58 very best raffia bags to shop this summer (and beyond)—because after all, they aren’t just reserved for beach days.

Craft the chicest spring-to-summer handbag collection—all for under $300.
