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.

Baja Small Beaded Bucket Bag

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]
