Raffia Tote Bag
The holiday-ready straw tote that captures Accessorize at its most sunlit and practical.

Story & heritage
Accessorize began as the accessories arm of Monsoon: the first Accessorize shop opened next to Monsoon in Covent Garden in 1984. The raffia tote sits squarely inside that high-street identity — easy, decorative, travel-minded and built around the useful finishing piece rather than a formal handbag.
The official product copy frames this tote as a holiday must-have, sized for daily essentials and cut with brown faux-leather straps that can slip over the shoulder. It is less a seasonal novelty than the brand's recurring summer code: woven texture, warm neutral colour and a bag that moves from airport to beach without trying too hard.
Materials & craft
The tote is made from a paper-rich outer with polyurethane trim and a recycled-polyester lining. A zip fastening, wipe-clean surface and 34 cm by 36 cm dimensions make it a practical beach or weekend shape rather than a delicate basket.
How to choose & style
Use it as the relaxed counterweight to linen, denim, swimwear and cotton dresses. The tan straps keep it warm rather than stark, so it works best with natural tones, white shirting, raffia sandals and soft gold jewellery.
