12 Raffia Bags I'm Eyeing for Summer Vacation, Inspired by the ‘It' Bag All Over Paris—Up to 52% Off

Travel + Leisure14 hours ago
It's no secret that Americans love to take fashion inspiration from the French. While most of us could only dream of being so effortlessly chic, Parisians have it down pat—so who could blame us for wanting to borrow some of their go-to French fashion styles?
Recently, the timeless basket bag has been making a comeback, and we've spotted the style on so many Paris locals. The bag comes in so many varieties, but it always offers the same elevated touch.
From bucket bags to massive Dior totes, Paris locals have been putting the style to good use this summer. Inspired by their looks, I've been eyeing some raffia and straw tote bags to pack for my upcoming beach vacation. From spacious beach bags to minimalist clutches, keep reading to shop my favorites from $26. $165 $80 at Nordstromrack.com
Sam Edelman offers some of the most beautiful raffia totes, and they're significantly less expensive than other options of their caliber. This one features a unique structured design, leather shoulder straps, and a spacious interior that's perfect for any itinerary. I appreciate the interior pockets and magnetic closure, too, for storage and security.
Quince is known for its refined takes on the classics, and this raffia crossbody is no exception. The raffia exterior and leather piping give it an elevated appearance. Plus, thanks to the adjustable leather strap, this bag can be worn as a casual crossbody or shoulder bag.
Bucket bags can be easily styled for day or night, making them ideal for vacation, especially if you're working with limited carry-on space. This gorgeous version from J.Crew features an intricate shell pattern that's darling for beach getaways. The interior lining has a drawstring closure to keep your items secure from pickpockets (and sand). Right now, it's 30 percent off when you use the code SHOPNOW, bringing the total under $100.
I've officially added this tote to my cart. It's the perfect blend of unique and classic, so I'll feel comfortable wearing it on repeat without feeling like I'm making too big a statement. The leather handles add a sophisticated touch, too. It's large enough to hold all my beach essentials, including a towel, and I even plan on using it as a shopping tote when my wardrobe needs a midsummer refresh.
If you're intimidated by the idea of carrying around a literal basket, this slouchy Anthropologie tote is a laid-back alternative. The striped pattern stands out among more classic raffia bags, and you can also snag it in a red and white version that's perfect for the beach. It's large enough to fit a laptop and even comes with a matching zippered pouch, so it can easily hold all the day's essentials. $128 $60 at Nordstromrack.com
I love how the rich brown leather accents the raffia body of this small tote. It's the perfect everyday bag: large enough for your phone, wallet, and water bottle, but not so big that it weighs you down throughout the day. Plus, it can be worn as a handbag or crossbody while out exploring for the day, then easily paired with a dressy outfit for dinner.
If pickpockets are a concern on your travels, this secure crossbody deserves a spot in your suitcase. With a front flap closure, it locks with metal hardware, ensuring your items stay securely in place throughout your journey. It's not just functional, though: It looks great too, with rich vegan leather and gold hardware accents. $74 $40 at Nordstromrack.com
This is not your average raffia bag. According to one reviewer, this $40 tote looks so expensive that it 'could be a designer bag.' The slim design and long shoulder straps ensure that it won't feel overly bulky, while still being spacious enough for the day's essentials. Plus, this bag also has the most impressive organizational features on our list, including four interior pockets.
When you're quickly running out the door, a slim yet spacious wristlet is key. This one is the perfect size for your phone, cards, and lip gloss. Plus, it takes up almost no space in a suitcase.
This stylish clutch pairs two of my favorite trends: dumpling bags and raffia. It can hold your summer must-haves like sunglasses, sunscreen, and your wallet, though it's still small enough to hold in one hand. It also comes with a detachable chain that allows you to wear it crossbody, if you prefer. $199 $100 at Allsaints.com
The most fabulous destinations call for your most fabulous attire, and this tote bag fits the bill. Its large capacity makes it ideal for beach-goers and overpackers, and its dual leather handles add to its versatility. Plus, it comes with a removable zip pouch to keep your items secure and organized. Snag it while it's 50 percent off today.

Christian Bale and His Kids Make Rare Public Appearance

Originally appeared on E! Online The dark knight rises, and so does Christian Bale for his family. The Oscar winner made a rare outing with wife Sibi Blazic to catch their 20-year-old daughter Luka Bale walk in Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda fashion show in Rome July 14. Dressed in an all-black suit, Bale arrived to the event holding hands with Blazic, who he married in 2000. Meanwhile, their 11-year-old son Rex Bale—also dressed in a dark suit with a matching shirt—followed closely behind. The family of four went on to snap a group photo—published by Just Jared—with designer Domenico Dolce, who was also seen clad in black with his signature wide-rimmed glasses. And it's not often that Bale is out at a public event with his children. After all, the 51-year-old is notoriously private about his brood—with many fans mistakenly believing that his son was named Joseph for years. Instead, the tween was credited as "Rex Bale" for his cameo in his dad's 2022 Marvel movie Thor: Love and Thunder. Likewise, the public only found out about Luka's name when she was credited as such in Bale's 2016 racing film Ford v Ferrari. She also made a brief appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder, before making her modeling debut with Dolce & Gabbana in 2021. "She's a little rascal," Bale said of his daughter in a 2012 interview with British GQ. "I'm not going to miss her growing up for anything, not even for Batman." The Dark Knight alum added, "I'm certainly not going to be one of those fathers who picks up a photo of his daughter and has regrets about not being around."

Vegan charity Viva! ad featuring baby being taken from mother banned

An ad for vegan charity Viva! featuring scenes of a human baby being taken from its mother to protest against the treatment of dairy calves has been banned for irresponsible, distressing and likely to cause widespread offence. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the cinema ad, which drew on the conventions of horror films, would have been particularly distressing for viewers who had experienced the loss of a child. The ad, seen in March and April 2025, featured a mother placing her sleeping baby in a cot while a lullaby played before a silhouetted figure suddenly appeared standing over the infant and the room went dark. The mother switched on a light to reveal a man in a suit running a bottle of milk across the bars of the cot, which was now empty, before he said: 'You can't keep your baby because we want your milk.' The next scene showed a calf in a pen and a voiceover stated: 'Almost every dairy calf is taken from their mother shortly after birth so most of her milk can be sold to us. And what do you think happens to thousands of male babies like this one?' The words 'Dairy is Scary' and the Viva! logo appeared on a black screen accompanied by a loud, metallic noise and the sound of something falling to the floor. The ASA received 25 complaints, including one from The Dairy Council of Northern Ireland, that the ad was irresponsible, distressing – especially to those who had lost a child – and was likely to cause serious or widespread offence. Viva! said they aimed to raise awareness of standard practices in the dairy industry, particularly the removal of calves from their mothers shortly after birth. The charity said the ad was based on factual information and was intended to inform and encourage ethical choices, not to shock. The ASA said viewers would understand that the ad aimed to raise awareness of animal welfare, but said the nature of the comparison was likely to be seen as insensitive by many, and in particular by those with experience of loss or trauma around parenthood. The ASA said: 'Although the ad did not depict the baby being harmed, and it was not shown being physically removed, we considered that its disappearance was likely to be seen as shocking and unsettling. 'We further considered that the statement 'You can't keep your baby', in combination with the sudden disappearance of the baby, was likely to be particularly upsetting for viewers with experience of child loss or fertility issues, in particular because the parallel with dairy industry practices was revealed only in the latter half of the ad. 'We considered that the message of the ad did not justify the distress likely to be caused by the approach, in particular to vulnerable audiences. 'For those reasons, we concluded that the ad was irresponsible and likely to cause unjustified distress and serious and widespread offence.' The ASA ruled that the ad must not appear again in the form complained about, adding: 'We told Viva! to ensure that future ads were prepared responsibly and did not contain content that was likely to cause serious or widespread offence or unjustified distress to viewers.' The founder and director of Viva!, Juliet Gellatley, said: 'We strongly reject the ASA's decision. The charity understand that this is a deeply sensitive topic and care had been taken to ensure the scene was obviously symbolic; a fantasy rather than literal. 'The aim was to shine a light on animal suffering in a way that connects emotionally, not to trivialise human grief. 'This ruling is nothing short of censorship. It's based entirely on subjective opinion, not facts nor evidence. Meanwhile, adverts from the meat and dairy industries continue to present staggeringly false portrayals of idyllic farms – and the ASA does nothing.'

Haute Priests—Dolce & Gabbana Present Their Alta Sartoria at Rome's Castel Sant'Angelo

How do you follow a women's show of Fellini-esque proportions at the Roman Forum? If you're Dolce & Gabbana, with a men's show at the Ponte di Castel Sant'Angelo. The circa 134 AD bridge was built by Emperor Hadrian to connect Rome's city center to his future mausoleum. Over the centuries, the ancient builing was transformed into a medeival fortress, a papal residence, and the backdrop for a scene in Roman Holiday. Tonight the castle was lit up like a movie set with klieg lights and scores of Cinecittà extras vamping as cardinals. Conclave II might be a good name for the would-be film. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana took priestly garb as their subject, and they left no hem unturned in their study, which ranged from the ascetic to the ornate, emphasis on the ornate: There were starched linen tunics that looked like fashionable updates to the traditional surplice, double-breasted suits dressed up with bejeweled crosses, and dramatic papal robes lavished with crystal embroideries.
