But the bag that seems to be on the minds of all fashion influencers (or in their hands) from 2023 is the coveted Raffia Tote Bagwhich has already been collected 2.4 million videos on TikTok. The Lyst index also ranked the beloved straw bag at No. 4 for the hottest products of Q2 2023, and the brand's position has only soared from there, as searches for the designer have increased by 19%.
As a luxury brand, that means the wallet comes with a higher price tag ($650 to be exact), but if you're on the fence about the finish, the Loft has nearly the same styling that's $600 less than the original.
Wicker basket
For $51 you can pick up Loft's Straw Basket Tote which has similar designer-like qualities, but for a big steal. The bag comes with a front leather pocket that reviewers say is perfect for “your cell phone and other accessories.” For larger items, you can use the main compartment to store commuter gadgets and your other travel needs. We love the contrasting color lining and the longer handles, which allow you to carry it as a tote or slung over your shoulders.
Loewe Basket bag in palm leaf
