How we make our raffia bags
1. Harvesting Raffia Fibers:
- Raffia fibers are obtained from the leaves of the raffia palm tree, commonly found in Madagascar, Africa, and the Philippines.
- Leaves are harvested by hand, ensuring sustainable collection practices.
2. Preparing the Fibers:
- The harvested leaves are cut into strips and soaked in water to soften them.
- The strips are then separated into thinner strands by hand or using simple tools.
- Fibers are sun-dried to remove excess moisture and prepare them for weaving.
3. Weaving the Bag:
- Weaving techniques vary by region and design, often done by skilled artisans.
- The base of the bag is typically woven first, starting with a circular or rectangular shape.
- Handles or straps are woven into the structure or attached later.
4. Adding Details and Finishing:
- Additional details such as patterns, decorative elements, or linings may be added.
- Any loose ends are carefully tucked in or trimmed to ensure a neat finish.
- Quality checks are performed to ensure durability and craftsmanship.
Final Touches:
- The completed bags are steamed or pressed to set the shape.
- Labels, tags, or any additional branding elements are attached.
- The bags are then ready for packaging and distribution.
We create beautiful, durable raffia bags that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern style.
