These are the must-have straw and raffia bags to see you through summer

I love a boho basket, and raffia bags are back (did they ever really leave?) They’re hands down the easiest way to give your outfits that laid-back summer vibe.

Lightweight, chic and surprisingly versatile, these are the pieces you’ll be reaching for all season long.

Whether you’re heading on holiday, off to a picnic, or just running errands in the sun, a woven bag instantly pulls everything together.

Go for a classic tote for beach days like the ASOS My Accessories Small Straw Tote Bag With Contrast Satin Straps (£28), a crossbody for hands-free exploring, or something structured for a more polished evening look.

River Island Beige Raffia Frame Clutch Bag

The Beige Raffia Frame Clutch from River Island is the perfect way to add a touch of texture to your summer wardrobe. With its wooden handles, neutral weave and chain shoulder strap, it’s an effortless day-to-night accessory. Pair it with everything from linen co-ords to evening dresses for a chic, sunshine-ready look.
