Our Product Story
Raffia are the dried leaf fibers from the feather palm of tropical Africa, Madagascar and Central and South America. It is widely grown for commercial purposes, including light cordage, gift wrap and weaving into hats, baskets, handbags, mats and other accessories.
Canvas is an extremely heavy-duty fabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, and other functions where sturdiness is required.
Early canvas was made of linen, a sturdy brownish fabric of considerable strength. In the early 20th century, cotton came into use. Cotton stretches more and has an even mechanical weave.
Leather is a natural material whose durability, texture and beauty make it one of the most popular materials on today's market. All of the natural range markings are visible - a subtle assurance that distinguishes real leather from imitation. The beauty of each leather item is enhanced by unique varying grain patterns and the subtleties of color and texture created by dyes and finishes. With time and use, leather products will mature and darken - giving them a rich patina.
