Get Summer Ready With Prada’s Latest Raffia Bags

When Prada first introduced its Raffia tote bag a couple of years ago, there was instant fanfare. Quickly enough, it became the It-bag of the season, and a year later, its popularity was still going strong. Last year Prada expanded the line, offering new colorways and allowing the beloved seasonal carry to continue its moment in the sun. This year, yes, that iconic bag is back, but Prada has also blessed us with brand new raffia bags that are sure to be a hit as well. If you love seasonal hues and materials, you better hold on tight to your wallets because you’re going to be obsessed.

Prada Tropico

The Prada Tropico collection revisits Prada emblems in a contemporary style, featuring bold contrasting hues, fun patterns, tropical colors, and more. The simple Prada Raffia Tote that started it all is reimagined as a shoulder bag with a longer strap. Its shape is soft and deconstructed like the original, oozing the summer feel that most of us crave from a raffia bag, and the checkered patterns in citron green and light blue are an added fun touch. A bit more elevated than the original, the iconic PRADA metal triangle logo adorns the backside of the bag, making it easy to wear either way. The shoulder strap allows for both shoulder and crossbody wear, easily taking this to the beach and beyond.

Top Handle Totes and More

While raffia is undoubtedly a seasonal novelty material, offering that quintessential beachy feel, it has transitioned to become a staple of the warmer months. Returning year after year, Prada is doing raffia even bigger this season. For more than just the beach, there’s a smaller raffia tote with a top handle that’s adorned with PRADA logo lettering. Perfect for a tropical vacation or a dinner out in the heat of summer, it comes in a range of neutral hues, from natural raffia to black and white, plus aqua, baby pink, and the checkered pattern shown above. An enamel Prada plaque sits on the side of the bag. For more of a day-to-night option, Re-Edition fans will love the latest version of the Prada Re-Edition, which combines a modern summery feel with the classic silhouette of an archival design.

Consisting of more than just bags, Prada Tropico offers bold colors and graphic lines with the contemporary feel we all crave this time of year. Discover more now via Prada.
