Material information
Abaca, commonly known as Manila hemp, is a fiber harvested from the trunk of a banana-like perennial plant. It is said to be the strongest and most water-resistant of all natural fibers. Raffia is a natural material made from the leaves of the raffia palm. Each piece is handmade by artisans. Raffia is light, soft, and breathable, making it comfortable to wear even in hot weather like summer. Its long fibers make it strong and durable, allowing it to be used for a long time. Raffia contains more resin than other natural materials, which makes it softer and develops a lustrous sheen with use, allowing you to enjoy its aging characteristics.
Precautions
Because each piece is hand-knitted by artisans, there may be individual differences in size. Also, the color may vary depending on the weather, temperature, and humidity. Please be careful of color transfer due to exposure to water or friction. Because it is made from natural materials, it may have a unique odor, but if you leave it in a well-ventilated place for 2-3 days, the odor will fade over time.
