Raffia is a natural fibre extracted from a type of palm tree found in Africa and which is exceptionally well worked in Madagascar. The know-how of Malagasy craftsmen, passed down from generation to generation, has given rise to a myriad of ways of weaving raffia that are applied to various products, including bags and hats. A bag usually takes between 2 and 5 days to weave depending on its difficulty, so it is not an industrial process but a purely artisanal one. Artisans can meet and weave together or weave from their homes, which makes it easier for many women to reconcile family life and help support their families.
Please note: Small differences in colour and size may occur in this product due to the handcrafted process of its manufacture which is what makes it unique.
