raffia-bags-banner-photo-collage-model-fashionOnce relegated to the beachwear category, raffia bags have, for several seasons now, been embraced for everyday city looks too.

And thank goodness, we say! Because they’re so chic, you’ll wonder how you ever put together fabulous summer outfits without their stylish touch.

Honestly, we can’t live without them anymore. And plenty of style icons and trendsetters wear them not just in spring and summer, but all year round. If our beloved Alexa Chung is doing it, we’re in!

In any case, summer is truly the perfect time to embrace the straw bag trend. Paired with light and breezy outfits, it really shines.

And this year’s options are so many and so varied that you’ll have no trouble finding the one that suits your personal style and taste.

From oversized shoppers big enough to carry everything (and more!), to elegant bucket bags, cute mini handbags, clutches, shoulder bags, and compact crossbodies. You’re spoiled for choice.

Once you find your favorite, we suggest you keep it close and rock it through late September, and maybe even beyond, if you feel like it!
