The Craftsmanship behind our Raffia Collection

Each Spring/Summer season, our Raffia collection returns as a much-loved staple - an embodiment of sunshine, craftsmanship, and conscious design. These pieces are more than just accessories; they carry with them a story of heritage, skill, and empowerment.


Handcrafted in Madagascar, our Raffia Bags and Accessories are created using traditional weaving techniques that have been passed down through generations. Every piece is carefully made by artisanal women working within a social enterprise that supports financial independence and sustainable livelihoods.Β 

Through their craft, these women are able to provide for their families and build brighter futures, making each item not only beautiful, but meaningful.

What makes our Raffia collection truly distinctive is the way it blends this rich tradition with our signature bold motifs and vibrant colour palettes. The natural texture of raffia provides the perfect canvas for playful patterns and iconic designs, resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary.

By choosing Raffia, you’re not just embracing a seasonal trend - you’re supporting craftsmanship, celebrating heritage, and becoming part of a story that stretches far beyond the finished product.
