Aspinal of London has made summer styling a lot easier with its brand-new woven raffia collection.
The luxurious designer brand, known for its popular leather styles, has been worn by Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, who is often spotted out and about with the Mayfair Bag.
However, if you’re after something slightly different this summer whether it’s for a trip to the beach, or a picnic in the park, there’s something for every occasion in the new collection.
Priced at £350, one of our favourite new-in styles is the practical yet stylish Camera Crossbody Bag that’s perfect for keeping all your essentials safe when on-the-go. It’s available in four pattern variations each available in four different colour options with every one handcrafted from full-grain leather with diagonal weave detailing.
There’s ample room for a small purse and smartphone and the grosgrain lined interior features an open slip pocket, so you can easily see what’s inside without having to rummage through.
If you’re after something with a little more space for those beach trips, this stunning Henley Raffia Tote Bag is the perfect pick. Priced at £450 and available in four different patterns, and plenty of colour options, the tote is ideal for popping spare clothes, towels and toiletries for long summer day’s out.
It looks like Princess Kate’s favourite £695 Mayfair Bag has had a summer raffia glow up too – and we’re obsessed. A go-to accessory for the warmer months, it’s the ideal bag for dinner dates, or brunch with friends. It’s super versatile too as it can be worn as a crossbody bag thanks to the detachable leather strap, or held by the classy brown leather handle featuring gold detailing.
For a more affordable option, we’re also loving the Camera ‘A’ Crossbody Bag which you can grab for £295. Perfect if the raffia trend isn’t for you, this chic yet practical bag is made from the finest full-grain leather in a choice of signature finishes that are great for all year round. If you’re hoping to add a pop of colour into your wardrobe this summer, we’re loving the classic tan colourway, and the cornflower blue.
You can shop everything in Aspinal of London’s latest Eternal Summer Collection here. If you’re looking to jump on the raffia trend, but don’t want to spend above and beyond on a bag this summer, we’ve spotted this great affordable alternative on New Look for just £23.99.
Shoppers have called the Stone Raffia Tote Bag ‘perfect for holidays’ and ‘surprisingly spacious’ thanks to the two separate compartments.
