Description

Did you know that “raphia” is a name of Malagasy origin?
Did you know that “raphia FARINIFERA” species is native to Madagascar?
It grows spontaneously in marshy environments and along rivers.
Did you know that the raffia trees have the largest leaves in the plant kingdom?
Raffia fiber comes from the upper cuticle of the leaflets. It forms fine strips, flexible and resistant.

We love raffia at Art Land :

• Firstly because it represents an heritage for us: our ancestors dressed in clothes made with handwoven raffia.
  In these modern times, many fashion designers use it to create extraordinary and stunning outfits.
• Because this fiber is amazingly flexible, resistant and inspiring probably because of its history.
