Dolce & Gabbana makes raffia bags look anything but rustic
much more than any other major handbag designer, Dolce & Gabbana goes out of its way to try out making bags in non-traditional luxury materials. We’re not just talking a bag here or there; Dolce has done entire lines made out of textiles like crocheted wool and tapestry, and for spring 2013, the Italian brand has gone all-in on raffia bags. The summertime woven isn’t necessarily what you think of when you picture a super-expensive handbag, but naturally, Dolce & Gabbana have used its signature heavily comprehensive aesthetic to make these bags into something special.
The raffia Dolce & Gabbana miss Dolce Bags range from being merely trimmed in the material to being made out of it entirely, and the results are an extremely summer-y group of bags that are fit for people who need bag options for their next afternoon on a yacht in Saint-Tropez. Or maybe, if you’re Dolce’s optimal customer, a party on the edge of Lake Como. Bring your own George Clooney.
