A Raffia Roundup

This time of year, I become obsessed (even more so) with all things raffia and it’s cousins - linen, caning, rattan, and wicker. And the fact that it is really popular right now, makes me want to wear it from head to toe. I want to change out the whole house to these great neutral textures. I always want to refresh the house for spring and summer, with a little something here or there. And natural woven textures just scream summer!! Here’s my curated look at the raffia situation, for home and for her…

Tuckernuck Embroidered Earrings - such fun.


Etsy natural fiber belt - great with summer dresses and tops. Turns a coverup into a dress.


Amanda Lindroth, out of the Bahamas, is the queen of rattan and wicker. These frames are so much fun.


Also from Amanda Lindroth, a wicker bracket for showing a small plant, large shell or flickering candle. I would love this in my foyer.


Stemless glasses wrapped in caning (it’s removable). Set of 4. Also from Amanda Lindroth. For your pinot noir.


Fun Etsy Raffia Placemats at a great price. A fun funky summer table.


Little raffia animals for play or decoration. World Market.


It’s so good looking, I’m showing it in another color!


Tuckernuck Raffia Sandals - a cute “flatform” style - lots of height but not a high heel


Manebi Net Mules - how easy to slip on with shorts or a swim suit and coverup.


Anthropologie Raffia Hoops


Anthropologie Raffia Fan Earrings with pearl trim


These wavy wicker baskets from Amanda Lindroth turn a grocery store orchid into a really nice gift. Set of three.


Of course I would end up with something from Serena & Lily! - Pricey but nice.


World Market excels in this area - a great price for a fun mirror.


How gorgeous are these 10” caned hurricanes? Very. From Amanda Lindroth’s - they belong on my table. 🤣


YES! I even love raffia ribbon for packages - we used it for our gift wrap in the shop. From Etsy.


Great for a beach house or a coastal locale. World Market.


What a good looking sandal - it’s a less than 3” heel - my limit. Great for an occasion where you are not standing for hours. Nordstrom.


I love this Steve Madden sandal for those of you who can still rock a 4” heel! Nordstrom.


In my parallel universe, I have a huge set of these at my beach house! (Decorated of course by Serena and Lily, natch.) Amanda Lindroth.


World Market. Cute and great price.


Raffia AND cork :) From Aerosoles.


Anne Klein platform sandals. Comfy and cute. Nordstrom.

Billabong Straw Tote. Nordstrom.


Raffia Earrings. Anthropologie.

Probably out of most of our price ranges, but I had to show it to you. Cute, huh? Celerie Kimble for Arteriors.


Another one - if you look cute in a headband - some can wear it - some can’t. Nordstrom.


A nice style from World Market - yes all weather wicker counts if it’s great style. I’ve seen similar for four times the price.


Pottery Barn Pillow with raffia pom poms 🤗

Always love these Two’s Company wicker frames.

Anna and Ava bracelet from Dillards.


OK this one is more affordable…however, the shade is sold separately. 🙄 Amanda Lindroth


Another cute flatform wedge… Nordstrom.


Amanda Lindroth seagrass placemats.


These are now on sale - Paper orchid pots. I gave some away in the giveaway.


I love them but “must be broken in”… Etsy.
