If you're jetting off somewhere sunny this season, you'll likely be on the hunt for a chic beach bag to complement your summer outfit ideas, and with a huge surge in popularity, raffia totes are being favoured more than ever when it comes to warm-weather accessories.

However, I've happened to find an inexpensive and extremely chic raffia bag from Accessorize just in time for my next trip abroad. With a similar roomy interior and slouchy silhouette, it might be missing the signature pony logo of the Ralph Lauren beach bag, but if you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative, this high street version is ideal for holiday outfit ideas
