Product Insights
The STAUD Harlow Braided Raffia Shoulder Bag is a lightweight 10-ounce crescent bag that pairs a renewable raffia shell with the brand's signature moon buckle in two-tone silver-and-gold. It holds a phone and bifold wallet but not a sunglasses case, and closes with a magnetic snap beneath a decorative flap. The 4-inch handle restricts carry to hand or arm-crook, and the coarse weave can snag delicate items. Priced identically to the leather version, it offers a sustainable alternative with light splash resistance but must avoid soaking.
Verified claims
- Silhouette
- Redesigned from tall narrow (6x10.625x1.25 in) to wide shallow (10.25x5.5x1.5 in) with 4 in handle drop.
- Carry
- The strap does not appear to be removable, and the raffia Harlow's 4-inch drop restricts carry to hand or arm-crook rather than shoulder or crossbody use.
- Practicality
- 10-ounce bag with grip interior fits phone and bifold wallet but not sunglasses case.
- Capacity
- Fits a large phone and bifold wallet, with interior grip and open pocket; coarse weave may snag delicate items.
- Weight
- Weighs 10 oz (0.28 kg), about as heavy as a smartphone.
- Weather
- Unlined raffia weave breathes and resists light splashes but must avoid soaking.
- Metal finish
- Two-tone silver-and-gold finish pairs with both silver and gold jewelry.
- Design heritage
- The Harlow's crescent moon buckle is STAUD's signature moon hardware and echoes the shape of the cult-favorite Moon Bag.
- Pricing
- Priced identically to the leather Harlow at $350 USD, with a 4 handle drop instead of a 6 shoulder strap.
- Brand continuity
- Features STAUD's signature moon buckle hardware, linking to the iconic Moon collection.
- Sustainability
- Raffia is a renewable, biodegradable material from the raffia palm.
- Moon buckle
- The Harlow's moon buckle is the same signature hardware used on STAUD's Moon Buckle Belt.
- Price parity
- Priced at $510 CAD ($350 USD), same as the leather Harlow.
- Closure
- Closes via magnetic snap under the flap; the visible buckle is purely decorative.
- Color depth
- Black raffia is evenly dyed with a subtle natural sheen and slight texture variation.
- Texture
- Raffia shell has a coarse texture that can snag delicate fabrics but softens over time.
- Water resistance
- Natural raffia oils provide mild water repellency for light splashes.
- Durability
- The braided raffia is generally sturdy for occasional use but may show signs of fraying or shedding with heavy daily wear.
- Care
- Spot clean the raffia with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding soaking; wipe the leather handle with a leather cleaner or damp cloth and condition periodically, then store in the included dust bag.

Compared within this brand.
| Harlow Braided Raffia Shoulder Bag: Choose this if you want a minimalist black shoulder bag in tightly braided raffia with calf leather handle and trim and two-tone silver-and-gold buckle hardware. It is a small, lightweight pick — about 10.25 inches long, 5.5 inches high, and 0.28 kg — with a magnetic snap closure, an interior patch pocket, an adjustable grab or shoulder handle, and a signature dust bag included. Note that the bag is unlined, so contents rest directly against the raffia.[1,2,3] | Moon Crocheted Raffia Large Shoulder Bag: Choose this if you want an oversized, vacation-leaning shoulder tote with a '70s-inspired crescent silhouette in hand-crocheted, deep black raffia. It measures about 14.75 inches long by 8.25 inches high by 3.25 inches wide, with cow leather trim, a padded leather top handle plus integrated strap, a magnetic snap-button closure, and a signature dust bag included. Note the interior is fully unlined, and one size is offered.[4,5,6,7,8] | Baja Small Beaded Bucket Bag: Choose this if you want a small, one-size shoulder bag in a Hazelnut colorway for warm-weather styling: it is made of cocoa- and caramel-toned wooden beads (amber-tan and darker brown alternating in a repeating pattern) with cow leather trim, a single thin dark leather shoulder strap, and a signature dust bag included. Measuring 10 inches (25 cm) high by 8.25 inches (21 cm) long by 2.25 inches (6 cm) wide, this open-lattice bucket-style bag is described by the brand as transitioning seamlessly from day to evening. Be aware that a community commenter who does not own the bag cautions that similar beaded bags can snag clothing, may lose shape quickly, and lose appeal if beads go missing.[9,10,11,12] |
