Loft’s Straw Tote Bag Is Almost Identical to the Coveted Loewe Version (And It’s Only $50)

Loewe has quickly become a celebrity favorite brand , with artists including Troye Sivan, Ariana Grande, A$AP Rocky, Griff and Jennifer Lopez all spotted in the luxury label. A$AP is especially a fan of Loewe’s accessories including its straw bags, which he’s been photographed with numerous times.

But the bag that seems to be on all fashion influencers’ minds (or in their hands) since 2023 is the coveted Raffia Tote Bag , which has already gathered 2.4 million videos on TikTok. The Lyst Index also ranked the cult-favorite straw bag at No. 4 for the hottest products of Q2 in 2023 and the brand’s status has only skyrocketed from there as searches for the designer have increased 19%.

As a luxury brand, that means the purse comes with a higher price tag ($650 to be exact), but if you’re on the fence about splurging, Loft has an almost identical style that’s $600 less than the original.

Straw Basket Tote

For $51 you can pick up Loft’s Straw Basket Tote that possess similar designer-like qualities, but for a major steal.

We like the contrast color trim and the longer handles, which let you hold this as a tote or sling it over your shoulders.
