Rah Rah for Raffia: How to Wear This Summer Staple the Street Style Way

We have Jane Birkin to thank for making raffia synonymous with summer. Before being associated with her eponymous Hermès leather bag, the actor was known for pairing her sunny smile and flared jeans with stunning basket bags. The recent revival of raffia handbags dates back to spring 2021, when they appeared on the runways of Loewe and The Row. Two years later, Simon Porte Jacquemus, a genius from Provence, had models brave gently falling straw in his Spring 2023 show wearing giant hats made of the same material. Raffia is especially popular in street style in Scandinavia, where the days are longer than the nights in July and August. Want to draw some lucky straws this summer? Tove and Hodakova present raffia dresses, which you can pair with shoes made from the same material from Danish brands Baum und Pferdgarten and MKDT Studio.
