Raffia Baskets & the Riviera Mood

Your Summer Starts Here

When you think of the French Riviera, you think of sunlight on linen, a silk scarf in your hair, and — always — a raffia basket in hand. At Poetro, we’ve captured that feeling in a new collection of raffia bags made for summer days, open-air markets, and slow walks by the sea.

Handwoven from natural raffia and finished with thoughtful details, these baskets carry more than just your essentials — they carry the look. Whether paired with a striped top and vintage blazer or thrown over a linen dress, a raffia bag adds that quiet elegance the South of France is known for.

Our new arrivals include both structured totes and softer silhouettes, with enough room for peaches, a paperback, and a bottle of something cold. Because let’s be honest — a proper Riviera bag should take you from marché to apéro without a second thought.

And no, raffia isn’t just for the beach. Our baskets are made to go further — into the city, onto the train, across the season. They’re lightweight, easy to wear, and endlessly photogenic. Add a silk scarf, and you’ve got an outfit. Simple as that.
