Raffia and wicker bags have always been identical with summer. One perpetual style icon who wore this bag frequently during her stylish summer rendezvous in the 70s was Jane Birkin. She carried her raffia tote bag from Paris to the beach of Saint Tropez. And her signature summer bag style was thought of as a way to achieve that effortless French girl cool.
Suffice to say, what is summer without a raffia bag? Hence CELINE created a raffia basket that evokes the 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. While CELINE wicker baskets are handmade in Italy using traditional methods woven from natural rattan.
And during the social media frenzy time, the unquestionably chic raffia bag made a strong summer statement that easily intrigued everyone. It’s every women’s summer staple bag, traveling or not. For that casual ootd shot on your backyard – maybe. One might not be able to travel during the pandemic, yet owning a raffia or wicker bag spark a summery hope for those better days in the future when we could eventually hit the beach again, yes?
