One of the most popular accessories – especially in summer – are the straw and raffia bags. Once reserved exclusively for special occasions such as picnics, that basket container obtained by weaving different materials is now one of the protagonists of the most pop catwalks and will be able to lend that corn the je-ne-sais-quoi to your look.
An enduring item that continues to renew itself with the passage of time, in fact there are different types of straw bags on the market. From easy versions perfect for everyday use, to others that are certainly more structured and able to become real design objects.
Beloved by celebrities, the straw bag, specifically the wicker basket, was one of the best-loved pieces by Jane Birkin, costume icon and voice of the controversial 80s musical hit Je t’aime moi non plus.
