The Row Alma Shoulder Raffia Bag in Thé is made from natural palm fibers woven traditionally by hand, a process that highlights the practical beauty of artisanal craftsmanship. Each finished item shows distinctive outer stitch marks, and variations in thickness, color, and elasticity are natural marks of the material’s inherent quality and unique character. Raffia itself is a fiber taken from the leaves of the raffia palm. Woven raffia is made by interlacing strands of this fibre, and the strands are naturally flexible.
The result is an artisanally crafted shoulder bag in woven raffia, with a flat strap and an open top. A flat strap is a broad band rather than a cord, and an open top has no closure, so the interior is easy to reach. Heat or humidity may leave the material stiffer, softer, or slightly warped, changing its shape a little. Use only a soft, dry, and clean cloth to clean it, and keep solvents and alcohol-based liquids away. The bag is unlined, so no fabric sits against the raffia inside, and a shoulder bag hangs from the shoulder rather than being carried by hand. It comes in one size, so there is nothing to select when ordering.
