The Charlotte raffia tote
LIÉ STUDIO

Product Insights & Style Tips
LIE STUDIO's The Charlotte raffia tote arrives with a sun-washed ease: a structured rectangle handwoven from Madagascar raffia, elevated by leather tie trims that cinch the top. The natural texture reads chic yet relaxed, pairing beautifully with linen and denim. Available in navy or burgundy, it brings a quiet luxury to summer days and city strolls alike.
On the shoulder or in the crook of an elbow, the long top handles sit comfortably, while the self-tie closure keeps the opening neat. It swallows a beach towel, sandals, SPF and a compact bag, and its open mouth invites quick access to daily essentials. The silhouette maintains its edge as you move through a crowded street or a sunlit cafe, and it layers crisply over a lightweight blazer or a floaty dress as temperatures shift.
LIE STUDIO leans into artisanal craft, with raffia goods made by Madagascar-based artisans. The Charlotte silhouette has become a signature within the line, balancing natural texture with modern scale. At 520 USD, the large version makes a bold statement while staying understated enough to pair with everything from a breezy maxi to a tailored cigarette pant and blazer.
