Raffia is one of my favorite ways to add interest to summer outfits. It’s lightweight, natural, and instantly brings that warm-weather feel—and best of all, it adds texture without the need for extra layers. I’ve been reaching for raffia accessories more and more lately—whether it’s a woven bag with jeans and a tee, raffia slides with a breezy t-shirt dress, or bold raffia hoops to bring that summery texture up to my face.
Chic & Breezy Summer Accessories
Today I pulled together a mix of raffia hats, bags, belts, shoes, and jewelry to give you some summer style inspiration. These easy accessories are perfect for pairing with everything from simple dresses to denim.

Thank you for the share. Gives me a ideas for looking fir cheaper versions
I like the idea of shopping by retailer. Go for it!
I would love to be able to shop your site by retailer.
I thought the retailers used to be all listed on your page and I would just click to shop there. I don’t see that anymore.
I did feel like that was much easier.
It’s still there! It’s under the SHOP tab on my menu bar – “Where to Shop”.
So glad to know about this!!!! I didn’t realize we could do this! Thanks for sharing!
That’s where I go when I order from Loft to give you credit. Most of the time I may order days later after your post. It’s easy to just go to your Shop link instead of looking for the post.
Mindy, I use that tab as well. Look under SHOP and then WHERE I SHOP. Even though that doesn’t bring me to Jo-Lynne’s exact blog post, I still use that to shop that retailer to give Jo-Lynne “credit”!!
Love this post!!! I was Just viewing my daughter in London sporting her Celine raffia crossbody. It so reminded me of your YSL that I’ve been drooling over since late Spring! I’m going to pull the trigger at some point but do you know where that exact one is still being sold!?!
I can’t find it anywhere new. You could check resale sites.
Hi JoLynne!! I myself love raffia. I just didnt know it was so popular. I like the idea of shopping by retailer, also. Love this post! Have a great day!
I noticed here the system has several emails listed. The only one I use is:
[email protected].
All of the other emails are obsolete. If you would like to delete them that would be fine.
Thank you!! Linda
Raffia is the symbol of summer. I love it! JCrew has a beautiful, packable raffia market bag (and it’s on sale). I wish I were going somewhere so I’d have a reason to buy it. Here’s a link for it.

I think an option to shop by retailer would be a great addition. I would use it for sure.
I would love the idea of shopping by retailer. I’ve gone back through several of your posts looking for a specific item.
I love raffia in the summer! I was these raffia heels at Nordstrom Rack recently, they’re only available in a few sizes but would be cute with summer dresses for anyone whose size is available.

Yes, Yes ,yes and maybe add a petite section………ha!
Us petites are left out in stores most of the time and rely on the internet.
I would love to be able to have your links for retailers handy in a dedicated section. If you are willing to organize them like that, I know it would be super helpful to many of us.
Would love to be able to shop by retailer. I’m often attempting to do this scouting through your posts when I’m placing an order!
Hi Jo-Lynn.. while out shoe shopping I tried the Sam Edelman sandal on and it ran wide on my tiny foot so when got home I ordered the a similar Bandolini one . Well the raffia on my lucky brand slides made my toes have blisters and these just aggravated them more . I have band aids on a lot of my toes , ha! How do I stop this or do I just quit wearing? I didn’t think of this when purchasing . Thank you!! Do you think the raffia will break in and get softer on toes? I have one more adjustment hole Also to tighten .
Oh no!!!! Mine don’t do that. I find the Sam Edelman to be super soft.
Thanks!!! the Sam Edelman pair I tried on at DSW that were on a wedge swallowed my foot so tried ordering the Bandolino one. The fit is perfect if I can get it to just be softer and more broke in. I wore today around town with husband to different places with my band-aids on and it seems to be doing better. Thanks for your help!!
