If you live and breathe the world of fashion we bet you're privy to the latest and hottest trend of 2023's summer that we see going well into next year—Raffia bags. They're made out of a natural fiber that is extracted from palm leaves. Further, because of the sturdy yet soft nature of the raffia leaves, each product tends to stand up straight when you set it down. It feels super comfortable on your shoulder, or on the crook of your arm. It's got a distinct cane look to it, making it the perfect summer companion too! 

Born out of the iconic Hermes Birken wicker basket bag, Raffia bags are all over town with brands going all in taking inspiration from the woven bag. However, what we love most is that the Raffia bag isn't confined to the classic basket shape and is seen in all shapes and forms from slouchy beach totes, structured mini bags, to bum bags. 

Here are eight raffia bags you can buy under INR 10,000.

Trust Zara to always be game when it comes to bringing to us the best and latest trends. This cute braided crossbody raffia bag is perfect to throw in everything you'll need and go about your day. We like that it's not super tiny, is quite chic, with a simple closure clasp and a long strap for ease.

We're big fans of Fizzy Goblet for their festive potlis and their juttis, but how cool is this raffia bag?! It's super cute, with floral embroidery, and a dual handle situation, which we love. The longer strap is detachable which is great if you want to carry the bag with the smaller bamboo based handle. We think this is great for light festive looks, or even to wear along with your jeans and shirts.

A very boho-looking bag, this one by Pipa Bella is perfect for folks who love colours. It's bright, small, and great for when you only want to carry all your essentials. It is also by default a cute vacation pick when you want to pair something tiny and fun with your maxis or add a pop of colour to your neutral fits for a brunch date.

And for us corporate girlies, it can even be a good enough stylish bag to carry our tiffins in!

We found this handmade Raffia shoulder bag on Itokri, an online platform that lists Indian handicraft and handloom products and delivers them all around the world. It's earthy, slouchy, and great for folks who love big bags because they like carrying their world in it. It is also a good travel bag because of how much you'll be able to fit in it. Being raffia, expect very less wear and tear on it. Not to forget, you are supporting the local artisans of the country by promoting Indian handicrafts.

At this point, every time a new trend pops up, our first response is to check H&M to get it ASAP.  And this super adorable mini shoulder bag validates this oddly specific habit. The structured look makes it super sturdy, while the thick shoulder strap gives very Chloé vibes, which we love! It's perfect to carry around for errands and coffee dates!

You can also remove the drawstring pouch from the inside if you wish to carry it as it is. It comes in two more colours–black and brown–for those who feel white is too simple for them.
