There’s something joyful about the little things. A detail that catches the eye, starts a conversation, or simply makes you smile. Our raffia bag charms were created with just that in mind.
Lovingly handwoven by Filipino artisans using natural raffia, each charm carries with it the warmth of tradition and the whimsy of everyday life. From playful fruit to charming sea creatures, these accessories are as fun as they are meaningful.
Here are five effortless ways to style them this season.
-
Clip Them to Your Everyday Bag
Totes, crossbodies, beach bags - whatever you carry, our raffia charms add color, texture, and just the right touch of play. The fruit designs bring a burst of sunshine (like Lemon, Strawberry, and Watermelon) while sea life pieces like the Turtle or Crab bring charm and personality.
Style tip: Pair a citrus charm with a woven straw tote for a market day look, or add a Crab or Starfish to a beach bag to complete a coastal moment.
-
Add to Your Key Ring
Our charms make delightful keychains. Lightweight and durable, pieces like the Mushroom or Fish add a little joy to your keys and help you find them easier in your everyday bag.
Gift idea: Choose one that suits a friend’s personality. Try a Cherry for someone sweet or a Shell for a coastal soul.
-
Personalize Your Travel Bags
Clip a charm onto your backpack or suitcase to help it stand out with style. A Banana or an Avocado is sure to spark smiles in the airport line. These charms are light and compact - perfect for adventures without the bulk.
Bonus: Each one is soft, packable, and travel-friendly.
-
Add to a Gift Bag
Instead of ribbons or disposable tags, clasp a raffia charm onto the handle of a gift bag or reusable wrap to make your present feel extra special. It’s a thoughtful finishing touch that turns into a keepsake - something the recipient can use and enjoy long after the gift is opened.
Idea: Create themed bundles. Pair a Strawberry charm with a picnic blanket and jam, or a Starfish with a beach towel and your favorite summer read.

Style as Small Home Accents
These little treasures don’t have to live on bags alone. Clip a charm onto a bulletin board, a hook by your entryway, or the edge of a basket for a playful, personal touch. A cluster of fruit charms adds cheer to a kitchen nook, while a Fish or Shell brings calm to a bathroom shelf or vanity.
We recently featured them styled as home accents, showing how they can bring a playful touch to a simple tabletop.
Made with Heart, Meant to Delight
Every raffia charm from LIKHA is handmade by skilled artisans in the Philippines using natural and biodegradable materials. Through each purchase, you help preserve cultural craft, support rural communities, and celebrate the slow beauty of handmade design.
Whether you’re drawn to the sweetness of a Cherry or the whimsy of a Turtle, your charm carries a deeper story - one of care, tradition, and joy.
Care for What You Carry
Like all things made with care, they deserve thoughtful handling too.
Because each charm is made from natural, sustainable raffia, it is best to keep them away from moisture and direct sunlight when not in use. If needed, gently dust them off with a dry cloth and store them in a cool, dry place where they will not be squished or snagged.
With a little care, your charm will stay vibrant and well-loved through many seasons.
