These intricate raffia placemats are carefully crafted using detailed handwoven patterning techniques, giving them a rich texture, and curated feel. This distinctive black and natural striped pattern is a traditional Betsimisaraka motif historically used in the region of northeast Madagascar where our artisan and farmer partners live. The linen-colored fibers are the natural undyed color of the raffia.
