All The Must-Have Raffia Bags for Spring/Summer 2025

As the warm season returns, so do raffia bags—taking center stage once again on runways and in street style. For Spring/Summer 2025, they’re not just accessories—they’re statements.

Long synonymous with natural elegance and craftsmanship, raffia bags are back in the spotlight, more elevated and versatile than ever. After making their mark in Summer 2024, this season’s designs push boundaries with bold new shapes and refined detailing. Raffia sheds its vacation-only label, stepping confidently into city life—styled with straight-leg jeans and ballet flats for a laid-back vibe, or paired with flowing maxi dresses and linen trousers for a more polished, earthy look.

This year, fashion houses have reimagined raffia’s raw weave, crafting pieces that break away from the expected. Think beyond the classic beach tote: Spring/Summer 2025 brings compact clutches, sculptural maxi bags, structured buckets, and hand-woven baskets that channel the timeless glamour of the French Riviera. These romantic references recall icons like Jane Birkin, who turned the straw bag into a symbol of effortless bohemian charm.

Rooted in the traditions of indigenous artisans—who first used raffia for its strength and flexibility to create everyday items like mats and baskets—today’s designs honour that heritage while embracing modern aesthetics. The result: sophisticated, trend-forward pieces that merge authenticity with contemporary appeal.
