Are you currently wearing a floaty maxi skirt and a pendant necklace, and contemplating a low-slung coin belt? If so, then presumably you too have been swept away by the boho redux that was kick-started by Chemena Kamali’s Chloé debut and continues to gather steam (even Zoë Kravitz – so rarely seen in anything besides a Saint Laurent LBD – is on board).
Of course, no boho wardrobe would be complete without a woven bag, perfect for stashing books, silk scarves, and general treasures unearthed at the brocante. This holiday classic is especially key for 2025: the spring/summer 2025 runways were awash with crochet and raffia accessories, in natural shades, but in bold colours, too.
Last summer, all the stars were packing Prada’s raffia tote in their holiday suitcase, but woven bags are available in all manner of shapes, styles and shades – and at a wide range of price points. While a black woven bag is perfect for summer in London, seek out stripes and bold colour for a beach holiday with the girls, or natural and neutral shades for a minibreak in Marseille.
Natural texture
Lean into crafstmanship and texture with a woven bag in a natural, earthy shade: think beige, écru, sand, ivory.
Versatile black
If a natural raffia bag feels too beachy for everyday wear, lean into the trend in versatile black.
Summer colour
The most fun way into the trend is with lots and lots of colour – the perfect holiday accessory.
