The Best Raffia Bags To Carry You Through The Heatwave In Style
It’s no secret that the Birkin is one of the world’s most desired bags. But what about the other Birkin bag? Almost as popular, the woven basket bag is just as synonymous with the late Jane Birkin as the luxury bag named after her. It’s thanks to Birkin that said bag is synonymous with a) French style and b) summer dressing.
In 2024, raffia bags are not confined to the classic basket shape: from bum bags to slouchy beach totes, there’s a style to suit every taste. Loewe’s basket bag – which comes with leather handles and is stamped with a leather logo – has become a cult style, while Prada’s crochet raffia bag is a celebrity favourite.
