Raffia — natural fibres at Soa Tigra

Raffia

Raffia is a word of Malagasy origin referring to a plant in the palm family. Valued for its strength, flexibility and durability, raffia fibre offers a rare balance of resilience and elegance, making it ideal for creations designed to stand the test of time.

Used in its natural state or dyed to achieve different finishes, it offers a wealth of textures and shades. Naturally biodegradable, it supports a more responsible approach through an authentic, living material that respects the environment.
