RAFFIA AND WICKER BAGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EVOCATIVE OF SUMMER THANKS TO JANE BIRKIN. FROM SHOPPING IN PARIS TO STROLLING ALONG THE BEACH OF SAINT TROPEZ, THE LEGENDARY STYLE ICON WAS NEVER WITHOUT A RAFFIA TOTE BACK IN THE ’70S. A PERMANENT FIXTURE OF HERS, THE BAG WAS THOUGHT OF AS A WAY TO ACHIEVE EFFORTLESS FRENCH GIRL COOL.

 THE CELINE RAFFIA BASKETS EVOKE THAT SAME SPIRIT OF NONCHALANT PARISIAN CHIC IN AN OVERSIZED, LONG SHOULDER CARRY-ON, MADE FROM BRAIDED PALM LEAVES, HANDCRAFTED IN MOROCCO WHERE THE OLDEST AND BEST BASKET WEAVING TECHNIQUES ARE DEVELOPED OVER CENTURIES. THE WICKER BASKETS ARE HANDMADE IN ITALY USING TRADITIONAL METHODS WOVEN FROM NATURAL RATTAN.

EACH CELINE RAFFIA BAG IS UNIQUE IN BOTH SHAPE AND COLOUR.

SEEN IN BOTH THE WOMEN’S AND MEN’S SHOWS, THE CELINE BASKET BAGS ARE UNISEX AND COMES IN A VARIETY OF STYLES.

SOME ARE IN COLLABORATIONS WITH ARTIST DAVID KRAMER, ANDRÉ BUTZER AND CARLOS VALENCIA.
