The RAFFIA shopping bag: an essential addition to your wardrobe

Say goodbye to plastic bags and shapeless tote bags! The RAFFIA tote bag is the ideal shopping bag. Here are the main reasons why you should choose this type of bag for your trips to the market or your purchases at the corner store.

Its generous size makes it a practical container for fruit, vegetables, flowers or books. Its sturdiness ensures excellent retention of contents. Its light weight means it can be carried for long periods without discomfort.
Durable, it is more resistant than a classic shopping bag. RAFFIA's natural, crocheted material makes it exceptionally robust.
Another advantage: it's infinitely more elegant than the plastic or fabric bags that shops use to carry your purchases! RAFFIA adds an ultra-fashionable, natural touch to your outfits. Crochet work, meanwhile, makes it possible to vary styles, as demonstrated by the IBELIV collection with its RAFFIA tote bags, which range from sober to elaborate.

The RAFFIA tote for everyday use: a bag for every occasion

Far from being limited to shopping, the RAFFIA tote bag can be worn for any occasion. Whether it's a stroll around town, a picnic in the park or an evening out with friends, this fashionable product complements all your outfits with a touch of style that's both natural and sophisticated. A chameleon piece, the tote bag is at home anywhere: in the heart of the urban jungle, in the countryside or at the seaside, it enhances your everyday life, enabling you to create even more accomplished looks.

How to adopt the RAFFIA tote bag for every occasion? Here' s how to use this product with its bohemian chic basket look.

For the office: opt for a structured tote bag to hold your files and laptop.
For an outing in town: opt for a more compact tote bag, finely crocheted to act as a handbag.
