The RAFFIA bag: a spring wardrobe essential

The RAFFIA bag is your springtime charm. A veritable icon of the bohemian-chic wardrobe, it comes in a range of sizes and styles to suit every mood and occasion.

Its compact size makes it a faithful companion that enhances both flowing dresses and structured jackets.

Please note: it's also advisable to choose your RAFFIA pouch according to the type of carrying you're planning. These accessories can be fitted with a hand strap for hand-carrying, or a shoulder strap for shoulder or cross-carrying.

The RAFFIA hat: the perfect bohemian touch

A must-have for stylish protection from the spring sun, the RAFFIA hat is available in several styles. Whichever you choose, it will dress up your face with natural sophistication and complement any outfit.
