6 accessories to combine for a complete, stylish beach look

If the RAFFIA bag is the centerpiece of your beach look, other accessories must complement it to complete your summer silhouette. Compose a harmonious look with our selection of beach accessories!

Accessory n°1: the beach hat to combine protection and style

At the beach, a hat is much more than a simple accessory to protect you from the sun's rays. It adds an extra touch of style to your outfit. A model in RAFFIA has the advantage of being both lightweight and breathable, and of matching perfectly with your beach basket. Our collection of RAFFIA hats comes in a variety of formats: the wide-brimmed capeline for glamour, the Fedora for casual elegance, and more.

Accessory #2: sunglasses to protect your eyes in style

You can't go to the beach without sunglasses! This accessory is indispensable for protecting your eyes from excessive light. But your sunglasses don't just filter the sun's rays, they structure your face and blend in with the rest of your beachwear for a result that's as elegant as it is practical.

Accessory n°3: the pareo, the beachwear par excellence

Soft, flowing and airy, the pareo can be tied around the waist or around the neck to wrap your silhouette with elegance. We love this beach accessory, which adapts to all body shapes while adding an irresistible touch of refinement! Coordinate your pareo with the color of your swimsuit for a perfectly harmonious beach outfit.

Accessory n°4: sandals or barefoot shoes for walking on sand

For a light-hearted stroll on the beach, you need the right footwear. On the sand, the ideal pair should combine lightness, breathability and summery good looks. Sandals or bare feet tick all the boxes! Woven leather sandals, RAFFIA mules or natural espadrilles are a subtle reminder of the textured, plant-based material of your RAFFIA bag, while offering all the comfort you need for walking on sand.

Accessory n°5: fouta, towel, mattress and/or beach cushion, beach essentials dedicated to comfort

A light fouta, a fluffy towel, a small cushion or a thin mattress rolled up at the bottom of your beach basket are all useful objects that enable you to create a cocoon that's both cozy and stylish on the beach. Choose accessories in tones that harmonize with each other to create a soothing monochrome, the promise of a relaxing interlude on the beach.

Accessory no. 6: the Clutch to keep your essentials safe in a refined case

For added security, we also recommend that you slip a Clutch in the same material inside your RAFFIA bag. A discreet accomplice, this accessory holds your small items so they're always close at hand: keys, phone, lip balm, sun cream, etc. The Clutch saves you unnecessary searching in your large beach bag.

Discover our Clutches in RAFFIA, designed to blend into your beach look with style, while making your everyday summer life easier.

Tips for creating a harmonious beach look

When putting together your outfit, it's essential to strike the right balance between practicality, aesthetics and comfort. Here are a few tips to help you do just that.

  • Coordinate materials: RAFFIA, cotton and linen are all natural materials that breathe summer and freedom. Choose these materials when selecting your beach accessories and objects.
  • Match the colors: beach accessories lend themselves to beautiful gradations of beige, ochre, off-white, blue or water green. Create a pretty cameo with these items dedicated to relaxation.
  • Adapt your choice of accessories to your needs: depending on whether you're planning a sunbath, a surf session or a walk on the beach, the choice of items to take with you changes. Compose your selection according to your seaside program.
