Hello everyone.
It’s still April, but we’ve been having a lot of short-sleeved weather.
I feel like I need to start getting ready for summer a little early, so I’ve been thinking about what I need to get ready, and I’m here to recommend a raffia bag!
Usually when you think of raffia bags, you think of Prada or Loewe, but they cost over 2 million won and 300 million won depending on the line.
Not very accessible, right?
So what I’m going to introduce to you this time are products that you can buy at half the price or even half the price with great design and material.
First, let me give you a detailed introduction about the origin and material of raffia bags.
Raffia bags are bags made from the fibers of the leaves of the raffia palm tree, which grows in the tropics. Characterized by their natural texture and strength, they are especially popular for their lightness and airiness, perfect for summer.
The perfect bag for summer
Raffia bags are perfect for the beach and outdoor activities during the hot summer months. The lightweight and stylish design will enhance your summer outfit.
In fact, you can wear it with a white short sleeve and still look fashionable.
Eco-friendly materials
Raffia bags are made from naturally sourced materials and have a low impact on the environment, making them a great choice for those who are committed to sustainable fashion.
Variety of designs
From hand woven to mass produced, raffia bags come in a variety of designs and colors to suit your personal taste.
Of course, depending on the process, there will be some price differences, right?
