Raffia is a 100% natural material made out of palm tree leaves. Its origin is Madagascar, but over the years raffia palm trees can be found in other parts of Eastern Africa too after successful transplantation.
As a natural fiber, it's extremely durable and versatile to make clothing and accessories for centuries. Also, natural raffia is very soft and beautiful to touch and wear. It is pliable, strong, and it can be dyed easily. Therefore raffia fiber is a very popular material in crafts and in high fashion. Lastly, as it comes from nature, therefore it is biodegradable and sustainable.
Combining the natural fiber with beautiful colors, we create our BodhiYamas handmade collection. This collection has various choices of handmade bags and hats so everyone can find the one that suits them best. Small or big size, loud or muted colors, we have all. Most of them are made of raffia, which makes them very lightweight.
The products made of raffia are non-toxic, durable, and eco friendly. The raffia fiber is soft and glossy that makes it easy to use. Raffia keeps its gloss even after a long time of use. Through the handmade process, we pay extra attention to every detail of the products. BodhiYamas brand provides only high-quality and environmentally friendly products.
