Raffia bag: the biggest spring & summer trend of 2017

32 Comments

Get ready to say goodbye to your favorite go-to black cross-body bag and start welcoming the hottest spring and summer tote bag aka the rafia bag. After seeing this bag style all over Instagram, I couldn’t help not falling in love with the trend. These bags are way too cute and summer ready. Just imagine pairing a raffia bag with a breezy maxi dress! How good would that look?! Perfect, isn’t it?! And the good part is they don’t cost a fortune! Of course, you can also find designer bags in this style, but the regular ones are below 40$. So yeah, you can elevate all your spring and summer outfits with less than 40$! After all, who said you need to break the bank in order to look fashion forward?! Now if you are going to scroll through the post, you will be able to find a bunch of charming budget friendly picks. The flamingo one is adorable and so is the pom pom one and the rest of them :).

If you’re just like me and won’t resist the trend, then I’m quite sure you’ll love those under 40$ options. Adorable, budget friendly and cool, what is there not to love about these bags? Loved mine from the moment I ordered it and ever since it arrived we can’t stay away from each other. Been carrying it all around since last Friday, and I’ve been really excited about shooting this double denim outfit. It arrived just in time to complete my look and turn me into a Parisian woman. Paired my red beret with a breton stripe top and double denim and hopped into the beige suede mules which elevated the casual outfit into a chic one and finished the look by adding the IT bag of 2017. How do you feel about this trend? And how did you spend the holidays? xx

  19. A raffia bag is perfect for the warmer months. It is such a darling bag and can be worn with various looks. I am obsessed with this denim, star jacket! I love the cut of it and I can’t resist the star pattern. What a great double denim look and the mules are amazing as well. So on trend and chic! xoxo, Christine

    I still don’t own raffia bag and seeing how you style it, made me think if I should order one for my summer trips in EUROPE! the denim on denim style is always best and trendiest!

  21. You are such a beauty! Love this entire look and these photos.
    This bag is EVERYTHING! I’ve seen it all over IG as well and need to put my hands on of these ASAP!

  22. As the ultimate bag lady, or should I call myself a bag gent, I can’t leave home without a bag and I can absolutely see myself wearing a raffia tote that’s a bit larger than the one you’re wearing and will definitely head for the cheaper options as I’ve got a few designer must haves in the pipeline. 🙂

  25. Okay! I love this trend but I dont think it’s really a trend. I feel like it’s kind of a summer classic period so I dont mind spending a little more on a designer piece that I’m going to love BUT I am also extremely picky when it come to these bags and it just so happens that some of my favorites are NOT designer! Your’s is literally perfect as is your entire look!

    I’m surprised by how affordable that bag is actually! For only $40 that’s a really good deal. Usually when I see bags like that I would think they cost so much because of how intricate the design is and how much work it would take to make one. I love the way you paired the bag with your entire outfit, you absolutely slayed this look! This is definitely something that I look forward to seeing this summer

  29. I actually don’t own a rafia bag…yet, but I know that it is def the IT bag right now to have especially in warmer weather. Your bag is so cute and I can’t believe how affordable it is. Goes really well with your entire outfit, the striped top and star patch denim, tres chic!

    This is the first time I have seen this Rafia bag. I love it! You can style it in so many different ways too. Perfect for the spring/summer months. Oh and can I just say the price is right. I love getting a good deal and I feel this bag is definitely one of them.I love how you styled this whole look and I feel the bag, shoes, and hat really make this look complete. What would we do without our accessories?

  31. Nikki Living Life says:

    Your denim look is perfection. Love your heels and pairing with the white T. The hat really completes the entire look. You look gorgeous. I love the rafia bag because it scream “SUMMER” 🙂 Can’t wait for Summer.
