Introducing our "Ravelo Madagascar Raffia and Leather Tote Bag," a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of Merina artisans in Madagascar. The Merina, celebrated for their weaving expertise, created this tote using eco-friendly raffia and durable leather, highlighted by a vibrant three-color block design.
Raffia, sourced from the native raffia palm in Madagascar, is a natural fiber revered for its durability and environmental sustainability. This material provides the bag's body with a robust yet flexible structure, perfect for everyday use.
The Ravelo tote features reinforced leather corners and strong leather handles for comfortable carrying. It includes a practical drawstring closure to keep your items secure and an interior pocket for organizing small essentials besides the spacious main compartment.
This tote makes a striking fashion statement, perfect for any occasion, whether a beach day or a festival. Each bag is colored using vegetable-based dyes, underscoring a commitment to sustainable practices. By choosing this bag, you support local artisans, empowering them with every purchase.
As each bag is handcrafted, there may be subtle color, pattern, and size variations, making every tote a unique piece of African artistry.
To maintain its quality, gently clean the raffia with a damp cloth and a mild natural detergent, being careful not to soak it; spot cleaning is recommended. For the leather handles and corners, use a dedicated leather cleaner to preserve their integrity.
Embrace the Ravelo tote for its blend of tradition, style, and sustainability.
