This timeless style of summer handbag has never looked so good (and affordable)

As ​​anyone who's ever carried a heavy leather bag in the summer will tell you, it's not at all right. For the most part, the rest of our spring and summer wardrobes are light and airy, so shouldn't the same apply to our bags? For my part, I think it should. Enter, raffia and wicker bags. While this trend is by no means new, raffia bags have gone from a beach-only affair to a style you can wear almost every day in the summer, with no flip-flops necessary.

Naturally, with every trend comes the age-old question: how much do you really need to spend to get the look? Luckily, many of our favorite retailers have started selling adorable raffia bags, most costing well under $100.
