Raffia–Understated Summer Chic at its Finest

Fashion Trends, Shoes and Bags, Style Tips

Just a few of the fabulous raffia must-have pieces that you’re going to want to add to your summer wardrobe!

Raffia, the straw-like fiber made from the leaves of the Raffia palm, is a quintessential component of summer dressing.

And this summer, we’re seeing some serious “wows” in terms of shoes, bags, and even a few hats! I love the versatility of raffia and the “pop” it provides, whether you’re wearing it on your feet or holding it in your hands, or wearing it on your head. Raffia goes fabulously with all forms of shorts, from denim to linen and everything in between. It also goes beautifully with jeans, from skinny (straight cropped) to wide-leg (not cropped), and can be stunning with skirts and dresses.

Today we’re focusing on everything from totes and bucket bags to clutches, slides, and hats. Each piece is a showstopper in its own right and will mix with what you already have to provide that eye-catching, compliment-attracting statement we all enjoy in our efforts toward creating chic.

This fabrication makes me think of the South of France and the simple, timeless understated chic that makes French style appear so effortless and for which the French are known.

Check out what we have found and are so thoroughly possessed by. We think you will be as in love with these pieces as we are.

In the bag category, we include a wide range of styles that will fit every possible category you could need for summer… You will see big gorgeous raffia totes for everyday use as well as fabulous raffia crossbody and shoulder bags.
