Anyone with an iota of fashion knowledge can attest to the fact that the Birkin is one of the world’s most desired bags. But what about the other Birkin bag? The woven basket is just as synonymous with the late Jane Birkin as the luxury Hermès bag named after her. It’s thanks to the style icon that said carryall is synonymous with a) the French-girl aesthetic we all know and love and b) effortlessly elegant spring style. This season, however, the best raffia bags are not confined to the classic basket shape. From slouchy totes to minimal moon bags there’s a style to suit every taste.

As for which one to buy, all sartorial signs point to The Row—specifically the neutral Loretta or Estelle bag, each a more relaxed take on the Emilie tote from seasons past. Among its biggest fans is Zoë Kravitz, who pairs hers with everything from transitional trench coats and white poplin dresses to tailored separates.

Khaite’s standout Olivia raffia hobo is a welcome upgrade with a minimalist two-toned colorway and a supple, oversized shape that make it instantly recognizable to those in the know. Style it with a refined pair of denim for the ultimate minimal-effort, high-reward look.
Much to our delight, Toteme has also dipped its toes into raffia for the season, going as far as making it the centerpiece of their spring 2026 collection. Styling-wise, it adds a textural touch to a sumptuous silk outfit or timeless LBD. Loewe x Paula Ibiza’s latest take tops our wish lists as well for vacation dressing. Other notable mentions go out to Hunting Season, Muuñ, and Lié Studio for chic and roomy everyday basket bags.
