We love the casual elegance of this “Boucle” studded tote bag created by Saint Laurent in a classic black suede/raffia with silver-tone studded detail, perfect for spring, summer and fall, simply a is a must-see! 

Raffia comes from the segments of the leaves on the Raphia Farinifera palm (commonly known as Raffia Palm). Its harvesting is considered a sustainable practice, which means that the plant is not harmed during the process and can continue to grow and produce. Once harvested, the leaves are stripped, and their strands are dried in the sun. As they begin to dry out, the strands shrink in size and change from a green colour to a beautiful and natural earthy sand color. Once dried, the raffia is sorted and separated into different grading qualities, according to its colour, texture, length and width. This timely process from harvesting, to dying and packing, is executed with expertise to ensure that only the finest raffia is exported and with the utmost respect for the environment. It is not uncommon for raffia to be confused with straw. Although both are natural fibres, they are very different in their origin and attributes. Straw is the dry stalk of cereal plants such as rice, rye, corn, oats and barley. Since it is a by-product of grain harvests, it is inexpensive and plentiful. It absorbs moisture, can become quite brittle over time, and is a stiff fibre meaning it cannot easily be manipulated for fit or shape. Raffia, on the contrary, has a natural resin in its leaves which increases its longevity; it also makes each strand flexible and pliant but also wonderfully resilient and slightly waterproof preventing it from cracking and becoming brittle over time. Raffia is strong, durable, pliable, flexible and easy to dye, yet a soft binding material. This allows us to be creative with design, technique and most importantly fashionable. Raffia also has a natural resistance to water, but the fibre itself is not considered waterproof. If soaked, it has the potential to lose a considerable amount of body. Caring for your raffia is simple but crucial to ensure its longevity. To care for your Raffia bag, store your bag in its original dust bag, make sure it is in a ventilated space away from direct light and moisture, fill with stuffing to ensure it maintains its shape and ensure the bag isn't pressed against any hard surfaces. Rotation is key. Don't use harsh chemical cleaners on stains, or this may stain raffia and cause discoloration.
