Raffia bags — manufacturer & wholesaler in Madagascar

Raffia bags — manufacturer & wholesaler in Madagascar
Overview

Artisanal craft with industrial capacity

Our raffia bags are handcrafted in our workshop in the heart of Antananarivo. We only source Malagasy natural raffia from the Raphia Farinifera palm, renowned for its long, supple and remarkably strong fibers. Every fiber is sorted, dried and, if required, dyed with natural pigments or textile dyes suitable for professional use.

Weaving and crochet are handled by our experienced artisans, trained in techniques passed down through generations. Depending on the model, we alternate between flat weaving, hand crochet, rope technique or mixed constructions with leather, cotton or natural cord. This range of skills lets us handle any brief — from minimalist totes to structured baskets and contemporary bucket bags.

Production capacity spans small runs (200 pieces) up to tens of thousands of units per month, without ever compromising on individual quality control. We regularly support brands launching capsule collections, distributors on seasonal restocks, and importers on ongoing annual production.
