5 things they don't want you to know about summer raffia bags

(the last one angered many)

Before buying a market bag for your vacation, here's what I recommend checking. And why more and more women are choosing the Mayfair.

1. They sell it to you as Raffia, but then you discover the unpleasant surprise

Most of the "raffia" bags found in markets or sold online for next to nothing are actually made of woven plastic, mass-produced at very low costs.

 

In a photo, they look identical to the real ones, and that's precisely why they work.

 

You only feel the difference when you hold one in your hand, but by then it's too late...

2. It's designed to last only one summer.

Loose weave, fiber that gives way, handles glued instead of sewn: after a few weeks it frays and loses its shape. 

 

By the end of summer, it's ready to be thrown away, and the next year you buy a new one. 

 

You "saved money," but over three summers you ultimately just lost money. 

 

The Mayfair in Vienna Raffia and Leather is designed to last for years.

3. You can only use it at the beach

Woven plastic often has a chemical smell and an unnatural sheen, even to the untrained eye it's immediately noticeable.

 

And most importantly, it labels you as "beachwear": you leave the sea, want to go for an aperitif in the city center, and that bag clashes with everything and makes you feel uncomfortable.

 

The Mayfair, on the other hand, is always elegant, from the sun lounger to the restaurant table.

4. How to distinguish real raffia in a few seconds

Look at it: real raffia is opaque, never shiny. If it sparkles, it's synthetic. 

 

Touch it and you'll feel that the weave is tight and slightly irregular, and the fiber is soft, never stiff or plasticky.

 

Smell it: real raffia has a light, vegetal, straw-like scent. Synthetic raffia smells like plastic, or has no smell at all.
