IVORY NATURAL MAYA CRYSTAL FAN RAFFIA MINI TOTE

The Ivory Natural Maya Crystal Fan Raffia Mini Tote is a warm-weather statement: a hand-woven ivory raffia body with light sand leather trim, clear crystal pavé on the fan panel, and a 48" leather cross-body chain that converts from clutch to shoulder. Wear it as the bright, neutral anchor in spring and summer looks — the kind of bag that turns a simple slip dress or denim cut-off into a full Lele moment.

10 Ways to Wear It

1. Pair the Maya Mini Tote with a wide-brim ivory raffia sun hat and oversized square cat-eye sunglasses for a pool-to-patio look that keeps the raffia-on-raffia texture story consistent and chic.
2. Style it cross-body over an all-white linen suit with the crystal fan catching the light at the hip — the bag becomes the only jewelry you need.
3. Carry it as a top-handle with a crisp white poplin blouse, high-waisted wide-leg ecru trousers, and a single strand of pearls for a quiet-luxury lunch.
4. Tuck a printed silk scarf (think a small foulard) into the top handle knot, paired with a soft pink slip skirt and ballet flats — let the bag be the warm, woven counterpoint to the feminine print.
5. Hold it as a clutch at a garden party against a fit-and-flare midi in botanical print and espadrille wedges; add a stack of thin gold bangles and skip the headband to keep crystals as the focal point.
6. Wear cross-body over a breezy white eyelet sundress with chunky gold hoop earrings and a delicate anklet — the chain strap balances the raffia texture against the lace.
7. Style it as a shoulder bag with a sleeveless camel cashmere tank, ivory silk wide-leg pants, and minimalist gold flat sandals for transitional city dressing.
8. Pair it with a tiered prairie maxi in butter yellow, a thin crystal tennis bracelet, and a knotted silk headband for a festival-meets-hamptons mood.
9. Layer the chain cross-body over an oversized ivory blazer and matching short set, finished with a chunky gold cuff — the raffia softens the tailoring and the crystals punctuate the polish.
10. Wear it to a coastal dinner with a black silk camisole, high-waisted cream trousers, statement drop earrings, and a thin crystal choker — let the ivory bag be the light against the dark top.

Styling Tips

• Let the Maya Mini be the star — skip a statement headband when you're wearing it as a clutch so the crystal fan can read from across the room.
• Use the 48" leather chain to switch silhouettes throughout the day: shoulder for walking, cross-body for hands-free lunching, top-handle for evening.
• The ivory raffia pairs best with warm neutrals (sand, butter, cream, soft pink) — cool grays can wash out the natural weave.
• Spot-clean only and store in the striped pouch to keep the raffia from warping and the crystals from snagging on other bags.
• Keep the rest of the look clean-lined — the raffia texture and crystal embellishment already do the visual work, so let the silhouette breathe.
