How to Style a Raffia Bag in the City (Not Only at the Beach)


Raffia bags are often confined to summer holidays and seaside wardrobes. Yet when well designed, a raffia bag can be one of the most versatile pieces in a city wardrobe.

The key lies in contrast.

— Raffia and Tailoring: A Perfect Balance

Pairing a raffia bag with tailored pieces creates an effortless tension:

  • structured blazer

  • crisp shirt

  • fluid trousers

The natural texture of raffia softens sharp lines and brings warmth to minimalist outfits.

— From Day to Night

A compact raffia pouch or structured bag works beautifully for evenings:

  • with silk or linen dresses

  • with monochrome looks

  • with subtle jewelry

Raffia doesn’t compete — it complements.

— Neutral Colors, Natural Materials

Raffia pairs best with:

  • black, white, beige, terracotta

  • linen, cotton, wool

  • leather accents

Keeping the palette restrained allows the texture to speak.

— Everyday Practicality

Beyond style, raffia bags are functional:

  • lightweight

  • comfortable to carry

  • adaptable to daily movement

A well-made raffia tote can easily become an everyday bag — not just a seasonal accessory.

— Rethinking the Raffia Bag

Wearing raffia in the city is a statement of ease. It reflects a way of dressing that values materials, craft and intention over trends.
