Supreme Raffia Tote

Just over a week ago, the summer solstice arrived on June 20th, officially marking the beginning of Summer. While the events of this year have undoubtedly changed most of our summer plans, some things will remain constant. It is, of course, still going to be excruciatingly hot outside. It is also likely that at some point over the summer you’ll seek refuge from the heat by form of some kind of body of water, whether it be it a lake, pool, or the ocean. Supreme’s new Raffia Tote Bag has arrived just in time for the hottest months of summer to make sure that your socially distant summer swims are done in style. 

Supreme is notorious for several things: they have an unmistakable logo, they love to create quirky accessories that nobody would ever expect them to, and they love to collaborate. One thing they’re not particularly known for, though, is their summerwear and summer accessories. It’s often expected of Supreme that by the end of the season they’re just dumping their less popular product and sprinkling in some of their smaller collaborations and accessories. Last year’s most notable summer accessory was the Super Soaker 500, which sold below retail for several months after its release. Last summer’s Cressi Snorkel accessory followed the Super Soaker’s lead, selling for less than retail for nearly a whole year after its release. This summer’s Supreme Raffia Tote Bag is changing that narrative, and coming out strong for a summer accessory.

The Supreme Raffia Tote Bag is a solid size, delivering 24L of usable bag space. It’s also made out of woven raffia and 18 oz. cotton material, both of which are perfect for the summer. The bag would be incomplete without its massive Supreme logo that stretches all the way around it. The totes got off to a strong start on StockX, as all three colorways have already posted average price premiums of over 40%. One would expect the red colorway of the bag to have collected the highest premium but that has not been the case with the release of these totes. Both the black and pink colorways have posted price premiums of over 60% while the red colorway sits closer to a 40% price premium.
