3 Styles at Work: How to Wear Lié Studio’s Raffia Tote

An essential isn’t essential unless it’s versatile. It should pull its weight, appeal to any personality, and fit in seamlessly with various aesthetics. To put this theory to the test, we’ve asked three Vogue editors to style the same piece, each in their own way.

The raffia tote has long been a summer staple —but Lié Studio is making the case for a year-round use. The woven material brings an ease and softness to your look while the structured silhouette allows it to function as a daily carryall , taking you from early morning meetings to late-night dinners without missing a beat. Editors are quick to swap out their leather bags for this lighter alternative as soon as the weather warms up, and celebrities are on board, too– Zoë Kravitz , for one, regularly sports hers with trench coats and other transitional pieces, proving the raffia tote is an accessory that transcends seasons. Below, see how each editor styled theirs for right now, from Lié Studio. “A raffia tote, like this one from Lié Studio, is the perfect multi-purpose bag for spring and summer. Take it to the office, out for drinks, or down to the beach. The chocolate brown colorway is an elevated twist on natural raffia—still a neutral that goes with everything, but a little more unexpected. It’s one I’ll be reaching for again and again in the months ahead.” “It hasn’t quite felt like summer in NYC yet, so I’m manifesting blue skies and sunny days with this raffia tote. Perfect for a tropical getaway or just a leisurely stroll through the city, it somehow fits everything (ideal for those of us who carry our entire lives around), while still feeling lightweight and polished.” “With summer around the corner, I’m excited to bring raffia bags back into my rotation. For the office you can never go wrong with a great pair of black trousers, and here I’ve styled them with simple sandals to give the look a lighter, more effortless feel. A raffia bag and breezy linen top add the perfect warm-weather touch, creating an outfit that transitions seamlessly from the 9-to-5 to after-hours plans all season long.” The silk printed scarf is having its moment—the spring/summer 2026 runways made the case, and our editors are fully convinced. From Kallmeyer’s oversized striped scarves to the ease of Dries Van Noten’s pareos, the message was clear: this isn’t just a throw-on accessory, it should be the focal point of your look.
