Women's Goldentime Large Striped Handwoven Raffia Tote Bag

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Goldentime Large Striped Handwoven Raffia Tote Bag from Zimmermann radiates easy, high-summer insouciance with its bold, graphic crochet stripes and artisanal finish. Each tote is handwoven from pure raffia, giving the surface a tactile texture that feels intentionally raw yet structured, made luminous by sharply contrasting black stripes. The oversized silhouette keeps things breezy and picnic-ready, while the substantial top handles invite a nonchalant slouch over the shoulder or in the crook of your arm. This is the mood: sun-washed escapes, villa weekends, and a kind of luxe practicality that doesn’t chase trends but sets them.

Generously proportioned at over seventeen inches wide and twenty-five inches tall, the Goldentime tote has that “just throw it in” capacity that swallows everything from an extra pair of sandals to a stack of Vogue back issues. The top tie closure holds daily essentials in place—think market finds, SPF, a change of resortwear—without sacrificing the bag’s laid-back silhouette. The long drop on the handles offers comfort and drama, making the bag easy to layer over everything from a linen shirt dress to an oversized blazer. It transitions seamlessly from beach blanket to gallery browsing, balancing utility and charm in one commanding package.

With the refinement Zimmermann brings to all its accessories, this tote feels as much destination piece as city statement. Crochet-striped raffia nods to the current obsession with hand-touched materials and artisan detail—think Bottega reminiscence, but distinctly Antipodean in its optimism. It’s a signature Zimmermann move: elevate the everyday, and make it covetable.
