Ask anyone who's ever carried around a heavy leather bag in the summer, and they'll tell you it just doesn't feel right. 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. Enter raffia and wicker-style bags. While this trend isn't new by any means, raffia bags have gone from a beach-only affair to a style you can wear nearly every day in the summer—no flip-flops necessary.
Naturally, with every trend comes the age-old question: How much do you really need to spend to get the look? Thankfully, a slew of our favorite retailers have begun selling adorable raffia bags—most coming in well under $100.
Scroll to shop some of the internet's chicest raffia bags and see how fashion people style them.
