Which Aje woven bag is best for the beach?

The Glade Crochet Tote. It is an open tote with two shoulder straps, and polypropylene straw shrugs off sand and a splash of water better than natural raffia.

Its Sunrise Ombre fades from yellow at the top to warm tan at the base, with Aje branding across the front. Carry a towel, a book and a hat. For a smaller daytime bag, the Lacuna Basket Bag holds the essentials and sits on the shoulder on adjustable leather straps.

Is the Aje Polish Raffia Crossbody practical?

Yes. It closes with a zip, so it is the most secure of the woven styles, and the crossbody strap keeps your hands free when travelling.

The natural raffia body is trimmed in Aje’s Spiced Chai tan, the zip has a wavy puller and a detachable charm hangs at the side. It is the one to take through an airport, a market and a long lunch on the same day.

The Retrofete clutches are the evening answer to the woven trend; they also come in black and gold.

How do you care for a raffia bag?

Keep it dry, store it stuffed with tissue in its dust bag, and spot clean it with a barely damp cloth.

Natural raffia can soften and lose shape if it gets wet, so keep the Polish crossbody out of the rain. Polypropylene straw, used on the Glade and Lacuna, is more forgiving and can be wiped down after the beach. Wipe the leather trims with a soft dry cloth.
