Raffia is a fibre obtained from the leaves of the raffia palm tree, native to Madagascar and tropical Africa.
It is known for its strength, flexibility, and durability, making it a popular material for a variety of traditional and contemporary crafts. Raffia can be used for making baskets, hats, bags, mats, and even for weaving textiles.
Due to its versatile nature and natural aesthetic, raffia is a sustainable and eco-friendly material often favoured by artisans and designers seeking a unique and organic element in their creations.
