10 Best Straw & Raffia Bags for Summer Days

Natural style, woven to perfection.

There’s something about raffia that makes it the unofficial fabric of summer. Light, textural and effortlessly chic, a raffia bag can take you from beach to brunch without skipping a beat. While the straw bag has always had timeless appeal, the new season styles feel more elevated than ever — thanks to smart leather trims, modern silhouettes, and refined colour palettes that work just as well in the city as they do on a coastal escape.

Whether you’re throwing it over your shoulder with a linen maxi or pairing it with wide-leg trousers and a white tee, raffia adds relaxed polish — and this season’s crop proves it doesn’t have to mean boho. We’ve rounded up our favourite woven bags that blend form and function, from sculptural bucket styles to understated totes, courtesy of brands like Strathberry, Arket, Cos and Reformation.

Here’s your summer arm candy, sorted.
