RAFFIA's soft, irregular texture makes it a perfect match for clean-lined garments. What streetwear might fit this description? A linen suit, a flowing shirt-and-pant combo, or a plain cotton dress that hugs the body's curves naturally. Whatever your personality and lifestyle, you're sure to find what you're looking for.

RAFFIA natural and RAFFIA tinted: our ideas for combining all the models in the range with your wardrobe

When it comes to color, dare to contrast! A bag in natural RAFFIA will brighten up a monochrome black ensemble. Raw RAFFIA also goes wonderfully well with a white look. The result is a bright, fresh look every time... A model tinted with a warm color, meanwhile, will bring cheerfulness to a sober city outfit.
