Cabas Céleste & Raphia Cœur: The Essentials of Summer

With the arrival of warmer days, Thalie Paris unveils a summer collection that celebrates nature, craftsmanship, and responsible luxury. Designed as an ode to lightness, this line of natural raffia bags perfectly embodies the spirit of summer: free, vibrant, and resolutely elegant.

Ethical and artisanal craftsmanship

Each bag in this collection is carefully crafted from handwoven raffia sourced ethically. This natural material, both lightweight and durable, reveals its full beauty through a subtle play of raw textures and sunny colors. A true tribute to craftsmanship, the raffia is meticulously worked to create unique pieces that are both authentic and sophisticated.

This collection, named the Croisette Collection, is made from high-quality natural raffia hand-crocheted in Madagascar in a fair trade workshop. It takes no less than 65 hours to craft a single tote! As for the assembly and production of the leather elements, this is done in our workshop located in Chantilly, France, respecting traditional know-how. It embodies the founding values of the house: textile innovation, upcycling of noble materials, and a deep commitment to more sustainable fashion.

For the Céleste Raffia model, there is a small inner pouch made from leather sourced from deadstock materials from Nona Source and marine leather, a salmon leather from the Lyon-based tannery ICTYOS.

The iconic summer models: Cabas Céleste & Raphia Cœur

At the heart of this collection, two models stand out: the generously sized Cabas Céleste and the delicately feminine Raphia Cœur. Designed to accompany your summer days, these bags are perfect for carrying your essentials in style, from morning market trips to sunset strolls on the beach.

Designed to elevate your summer outfits, Thalie Paris raffia bags add a touch of relaxed elegance to any look. Worn with a flowing dress, a linen set, or a summer suit, they become the key accessory for a natural, confident, and contemporary style.

The Cabas Céleste and Raphia Cœur totes are summer must-haves. They have been spotted on Céline Lacan-Garrigues @c.lacan_garrigues in a casual style and alongside Zoé @babiolesdezoe in an elegant look, perfect for gentle summer days.
