The Return of Raffia: Woven Summer Elegance
The Return of Raffia: Woven Summer Elegance 🧺
If we had to capture the essence of a refined summer in one accessory, it would undoubtedly be a pair of raffia mules, a structured wicker bag, or a honey-colored woven belt buckle. This natural material, long associated with Provençal markets and seaside vacations, is making a major comeback—but in a 2025 version that’s more minimalist and chic.
Why we love (and adopt) the raffia :
- It evokes effortless summer: the perfect material to add an organic texture to an all-white or all-linen look.
- It pairs beautifully with neutrals—ivory, sand, olive, charcoal black… raffia is the best friend of our capsule wardrobe.
- It adds a handcrafted touch to a clean outfit, perfect for breaking up the rigidity of a suit or softening a monochrome look.
- And it works in the city too: once thought to be reserved for beach baskets, raffia is now featured in structured shapes, platform sandals, and tote bags
How to Wear It, Mimz-Style: :
- Pair a raffia bucket bag with an ivory midi skirt and a linen blazer for an effortless effect.
- Opt for raffia shoes to add texture to a minimalist black look.
- Slide a thin raffia belt over a tonal outfit to define the waist without weighing it down.
