Straw Studios shows us how to wear raffia out of season with this Addison tote.
In natural tones this structured handbag is perfect for summer, but in basic black I think this purse could work well at any time of year. While its raffia finish keeps it casual, its versatile color and studded wooden handle ensures it doesn’t look too relaxed.
I really like the appearance of the wooden handle. Its treatment makes it look like it’s made from brushed antique bronze from a distance. However don’t expect it to feel comfortable in your hand, particularly if you’ve loaded the Addison up. Cut-out handles never do.
The Addison looks like a minimalist bag, but its interior is surprisingly detailed. A sunken zipper running along the top ensures our precious cargo stays safe. Those items will stay organized too as there are three separate pockets. Raffia is a notoriously brittle fiber, but the cotton lining should help protect it for a while.
That material does have its limitations though, and without any feet on the base I expect it to show wear before too long. Thankfully at an affordable $81 it won’t cost too much to replace it.
