The Art of Raffia
Madagascar raffia is a natural fibre from the Raphia farinifera palm, native to Madagascar as well as tropical Africa and the Comoros. Harvested in the eastern and north-western regions, sun-dried and hand-sorted, this supple, strong and biodegradable fibre remains the reference material for high-end woven accessories — bags, hats, home décor and couture pieces.
At SOBIKA, each piece is handcrafted in Madagascar using demanding crochet, braiding and weaving techniques, passed down through generations within our Antananarivo workshops.
A manufacturer and wholesale supplier of raffia bags, hats and pouches, our workshop — backed by the expertise and production capacity of LOI Confection — operates as a raffia contract manufacturer within a rigorous framework, combining craftsmanship, quality and reliability for fashion houses, designers and children's brands attentive to detail and sustainability.
