Trade leather’s formality for raffia’s relaxed summer feel
The Row is often associated with soft leather and sharp tailoring, yet the brand shows a more relaxed side in the warmer months. The Alma shoulder bag uses 90% raffia as its main material and is handwoven by artisans in Madagascar.
Retaining the rustic feel of natural palm fibers, it reveals the exposed seams left by the weaving process, and each bag varies slightly in color and thickness. This handcrafted quality, which doesn’t strive for absolute perfection, gives the bag a quiet, lived-in feel.
A casual-looking silhouette with thoughtful details
While the body is casually woven, the strap incorporates 10% calfskin for comfort and durability on the shoulder.
At 9.8 x 10.4 x 2.4 inches, it’s sized just right, while its unlined open top makes it easy to reach for your belongings. Whether in classic, versatile Black or Thé, a warm earthy shade, its gently curved half-moon silhouette pairs easily with the cotton and linen maxi dresses or white shirts already in your wardrobe.
An approachable five-figure price tag
Compared with leather bags that easily cost HK$ 20,000 or HK$ 30,000, this woven bag is priced at HK$ 13,500 / NT$ 54,000 in Hong Kong, making it a relatively approachable entry point for readers who have been considering the brand.
This bag transforms the old-fashioned weaving craft, once associated with a vacation feel, into a practical design for getting around the city, aligning with what women have come to expect from everyday luxury in recent years.
