In case you haven't already guessed it, the trend I'm covering today is raffia bags. I have no lead-up for you, because isn't it obvious? It's impossible to look at a raffia accessory and not immediately think of summer, which I find to be a good thing. Other things going for raffia bags are that they look chic with every summer outfit and they tend to cost less than their leather counterparts. The trend has gotten so big that at this point, it's rare to come across a designer brand that doesn't make raffia versions of their most popular bags each year. At this point, you can hardly even call raffia a trend—it's a staple.
I may not need a new raffia bag, but I've decided that I need one (know what I mean?), so I'm taking you along on my shopping journey. I compiled 21 of the chicest raffia bags on the internet right now and sprinkled in a handful of outfits that might provide some styling and shopping inspiration for your own raffia bag. Keep scrolling to shop along with me before these beauties inevitably sell out.
