Summer 2025 has officially crowned raffia as its material of the moment. Lightweight, tactile, and effortlessly elegant, raffia bags embody the relaxed sophistication we’re craving for warm-weather escapes — whether you’re seaside in Capri or strolling city streets. But this isn’t the boho raffia of seasons past. Luxury houses are elevating the weave into sculptural, highly refined silhouettes that feel more polished than ever.
Saint Laurent’s iconic Le 5 à 7 Raffia reimagines the classic shoulder bag in an airy woven texture, trimmed with sleek leather and that unmistakable YSL hardware — offering the perfect blend of ease and Parisian polish. Meanwhile, Chloé continues to embrace its sun-drenched DNA with oversized totes and softly structured baskets that feel made for a Euro escape. Even The Row, known for its understated minimalism, has introduced elevated woven pieces that bring a quiet, artisanal touch to their luxury vocabulary.
Raffia’s beauty lies in its versatility: equally chic with linen tailoring or a breezy sundress, it transitions from poolside to aperitivo effortlessly. This season, woven isn’t just a detail — it’s the statement.
We’ve curated a round-up of this season’s standout styles, including exclusive selects available now at Neiman Marcus.
