Material information
Raffia is a natural material made from the leaves of the raffia palm. Each piece is handmade by artisans. Raffia is light, soft, and breathable, making it comfortable to wear even in hot weather like summer. Its long fibers make it strong and durable, allowing it to be used for a long time. Raffia contains more resin than other natural materials, which makes it softer and develops a lustrous sheen with use, allowing you to enjoy its aging process.
Precautions
Raffia is a natural material whose quality varies greatly depending on the climate where it grows and the year it is harvested. It is made through a laborious process: the leaves of the raffia palm are steamed and dried repeatedly, and finally the hard outer skin is peeled off, revealing only the soft fibers within. Raffia itself contains natural resin, making it water-repellent and highly flexible. It becomes more supple and lustrous with use. Raffia is alkaline and contains salt. When heated during production for molding, the salt undergoes a chemical reaction, sometimes resulting in a white powder that appears on the surface. This can be easily removed with a brush. Because raffia is a natural fiber, its color will naturally soften over time. Enjoy the texture that only a handmade product can offer.
