Hell In A Hand Basket

dior raffia toteThere are some trends that are only ever appropriate at short, contained times of the year - perhaps a day at Christmas, another at Valentines, two weeks in late summer, and so on. This is because these particular trends have an extremely limited shelf life - which is why anyone wearing a sweater with a giant snowman on it will look slightly silly at anytime other than Festivus.

As far as raffia is concerned, there is only one place it is acceptable and that is the Caribbean. On vacation. And that is it.

The bag pictured here is a pretty nice bag, really. It’s the Wicker and Raffia Large Tote from Christian Dior, and it’s made of - yes - wicker and raffia - with jacquard lining and calfskin trim. All in all a quite respectable tote if you are somewhere where most of the goods around you are similarly made of wicker and/or tote.

Otherwise, I’m afraid it’s just not going to cut it.

Welcome to the Caribbean, love!
