13 most fashionable raffia and straw bags to carry you through summer
Our summer must-have list includes Tory Burch and Loewe Paula Ibiza's raffia tote bag.
Fashionistas will tell you that Loewe's basket bag is the most timeless and fashionable raffia accessory to have on your arm. The bag has seen many variations, including an updated colourful and cute look as part of Loewe Paula Ibiza's collection, paying homage to the original Paula’s Ibiza boutique.
This year, we're seeing the birth of other woven raffia and straw bags, thanks to their humble and useful, roomy ways. If Prada's raffia tote makes your heart skip a beat, you'll be pleased to know there are other chic styles for you to carry – and they're not just confined to the beach.
