The fact that raffia is trending this summer is no surprise. This material is usually in vogue every summer season, so this 2022 was not going to be less. Even more so when for last summer Prada decided to launch the Raffia Tote Bag, a bag made entirely of raffia with the logo of the Italian firm, which was available in neutral colors ranging from natural raffia, to other more striking shades such as fuchsia or violet.
Since then, many brands have followed in Prada's footsteps, giving consumers the opportunity to wear one of the season's biggest trends. However, what is surprising is not the raffia phenomenon, but the fact that it has become fashionable in handbags before other accessories. In other words, compared to raffia sandals or hats, raffia bags have completely triumphed in the industry, making them a customer favorite.
It is for these reasons that in Montsaint we do not stop launching new models of bags, both raffia and raffia-like materials. Because we intend to have a wide range of options to suit all tastes.
Dakar raffia shoulder bag
This model combines raffia and synthetic leather in a comfortable medium-sized bag that can be carried as a shoulder bag or handbag, depending on the wearer's preference. It also has a gold-tone metal twist-lock closure that makes it stand out even more. It is certainly a sophisticated model, but with a clean and elegant design.
Its name refers to the city of Dakar, capital of Senegal. A city of recent history known worldwide for its involvement in sport. Therefore, this shoulder bag tries to evoke the desert and sandy landscape that characterizes much of the African continent.
Casablanca shoulder bag with double handle
This shoulder bag is currently one of the favorites in our catalog. Its design is based on synthetic leather intertwined in a way that mimics the composition of raffia. Therefore, at first glance it may look like raffia, but being made of synthetic leather it has a brightness and light that make it more striking.
However, the most characteristic feature of this model is its double handle, which is intertwined, making it practically the star element of the accessory. Its design evokes those paradisiacal luxury hotels that we can find in the city of Casablanca in which Arab forms are synthesized with Western influence.
Malibu shoulder bag
The Malibu shoulder bag has a small size compared to other models, that is why it appears on the website as "size S". The material that composes it is also similar to raffia as far as the interlacing is concerned. Its design is reminiscent of Malibu and all the joy and good weather that resembles that city. By combining red, blue, black and white, the Malibu shoulder bag is a colorful accessory that will complete your outfit. Therefore, it is an ideal bag for summer and all the explosion of colors that it entails.
