In StockIf any royal knows how to balance timeless luxury with the kind of summery practicality we love, it’s Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. On a visit to the Royal Welsh Show, she proved once again why we should be buying wicker summer accessories – with an elegant outing holding the Strathberry Mosaic Nano Raffia bag.
Handcrafted by Edinburgh label Strathberry, the 425 bag merges hand-woven natural raffia with tan calf leather trim and has a distinctive gold-tone “Music Bar” – the brand’s hallmark motif – adorning its front flap.
The Duchess’s version has appeared during the hotter months.

Zara Tindall has been known to select her summer outfits with the Raffia & Cream, and her race day look. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, carries her structured ‘Vanilla’ leather version for visits and public appearances too, proving it can work for more tailored and dressed up events as well.
