Toteme Leather-trimmed raffia and paper bucket bag

Toteme’s design philosophy centers on creating a modern uniform, and this bucket bag is a key component. Its relaxed silhouette is crafted from woven raffia and paper, defined by a contrasting leather strap. It's a versatile companion for warm-weather dressing, from city days to coastal getaways.

The art of the detail

This piece expresses a refined study in textural contrast. The main body is meticulously woven from raffia and paper, creating a pliable and lightweight structure in a versatile beige tone. A smooth black leather strap provides a graphic counterpoint and can be adjusted for shoulder wear. The unadorned, open-top design emphasizes the bag’s relaxed bucket form, focusing attention on the quality of the materials and the clean, functional shape that defines the silhouette. The overall composition is a testament to minimalist design principles.

How to wear

Carry this bucket bag with a crisp cotton shirtdress and flat sandals for an effortless daytime look suitable for navigating the city. For a weekend escape, complement the bag with wide-leg linen trousers, a simple knit top, and minimal gold jewelry, creating a polished ensemble for brunch or a gallery visit. The bag’s soft structure and natural texture also pair well with a lightweight trench coat, bridging the gap between seasons with understated style. Its capacity makes it a practical yet elegant choice for all-day engagements and spontaneous plans.
