Polène Cyme Mini Edition Raffia

The Polène Cyme Mini Raffia reworks the brand’s signature tote into a summer-ready shoulder bag. In this edition, certified organic raffia panels handwoven in Madagascar are paired with smooth Italian calf leather in Polène’s ateliers in Ubrique. The meeting of undulating weave and smooth leather trims gives the bag a sculptural presence beyond a straightforward straw style. Leather side ties and magnets allow the shape to shift. Folded inward, it becomes a more compact basket form. Open, it returns to the roomier Cyme Mini tote silhouette. At 44 x 22 x 13 cm and 480 grams, it offers easy everyday capacity while staying light in hand. A fully lined interior and removable zipped leather pouch help keep smaller essentials in order. Two handle lengths, 40 cm and 60 cm, make it easy to carry by hand, in the crook of the arm or on the shoulder. Its convertible structure works as well for the city as it does for the beach. Hard to find in Turkey, this seasonal edition is offered at sutore after authenticity checks. Cyme Mini Raffia is the kind of summer piece that stands out without asking for attention.
