The Low-Key Vacation Bag Fashion People Are Wearing All the Time Now

As anyone who's ever carried around a heavy leather bag in the summer will tell you, it just doesn't feel right. For the most part, the rest of our spring and summer wardrobes are light and breezy, so shouldn't the same apply to our bags? I, for one, think it should. But in the past, one of the most summer-friendly bag styles was primarily carried on vacation and at the beach. That style is raffia bags, and their use has shifted.

Raffia bags are, undoubtedly, a trend this season, but they've never really gone out of style—they've just been seen as more of a beach bag in the past. But I've recently noticed that people have been carrying raffia bags as their everyday handbags. It might have something to do with the fact that brands have been designing more and more creative, elevated takes on the style at varied price points, from Zara to Prada. 

Scroll on to shop some of the internet's chicest raffia bags and see how fashion people are styling them.

This one's for the minimalists.

Zara set out to make this look expensive and succeeded.

Yet another logo tote I'm lusting after.

I love the way raffia is used as an accent here.

I love it when brands redo their already popular bags in raffia.

Love this little '90s-inspired find.

Black raffia is great if you want to carry it in the evening.

Which lucky person is getting the last one in stock?
