If you're an island girl at heart who's looking for great designer bags to invest in, the clear winners for you are totes that will fit your laidback and easy breezy tomato girl aesthetic.

Sarah Lahbati's Collection of Designer Raffia Bags
CELINE Panier Hobo Bag
Celine's Panier hobo bag is Sarah's latest designer acquisition, adding to her go-to collection of raffia bags that complete her resort-ready looks. She debuted the piece on a trip to Saint Tropez. And most recently, she teamed it with a Barbie pink maillot for a sultry poolside OOTD.

PRADA Crochet Tote Bag
Her most favorite among her raffia bags seems to be Prada's crochet tote bag. She's usually spotted lugging it around wherever she goes—even to her skincare appointments at The Aivee Clinic. But more often than not, it's a vacation staple which she brings with her to house her adventure essentials. She loves it so much that she also has it in a black colorway!

LOEWE Basket Bag
An it bag loved by many fashion girls, Loewe's basket bag has also found a home within Sarah's arsenal. It's not only a gorgeous choice for a beach bag, it also elevates casual outfits for that relaxed, laidback vibe while traveling in style.

JACQUEMUS Le Baci Raffia Tote
If you're into scene-stealing pieces, you can't go wrong with Jacquemus' Le Baci, featuring long, feathery fringes along the edges of the tote. On a nature retreat, Sarah wore hers with a little white dress, allowing the designer raffia bag to take centerstage.
