On our fashion radar lately: modern woven short-handled bags that come in handy for market trips, beach jaunts, and more. Here are our favorites to date.

Above: The Sophie Digard Paris Raphia Bag is handmade in Madagascar from raphia by Parisian knitwear designer Sophie Digard. The fibers are made and dyed to her specifications in France and shipped to her workshop in Madagascar, where they are hand-crocheted and knit into unique works of art (we would never use this as an everyday market bag, but we couldn’t resist including it on the list). The bag is available in natural and black and costs $360 at Makie. Above: The crocheted raffia Kayu-Bellini Tote is handmade by artisans in Southeast Asia; $139 at Reformation.
