Serpui Marie are the gods of raffia and straw bags, and the Vitoria clutch demonstrates that ability to create handbags that look nothing like the materials they are made from.
After all, at first glance I doubt you would assume that this large clutch was made from raffia. It looks more like a deeply textured hessian or thick rural silk. However, when you touch it you feel the papery lightness, and it becomes apparent that actually raffia is just hiding very well indeed. Gone are the thick weaves and rugged designs that usually accompany this summery material, and in its place is a sophisticated pattern and pouch shape.
Whilst the look of this oversized slouchy clutch is undoubtedly one of the most stylish summer options, I do have a couple of questions about the design. First up is the mouth of bag, which features an unattractive uncovered lip. On top of that I have hesitations about the teeny size of the clasp; that will just be such a hassle when you are hot and bothered!
Aside from some little limitations, this is a flamboyant and creative approach to a raffia handbag. Would you pay a massive $487 for it, however?
