FAQ
Everything you need to know about our handcrafted market baskets made from Madagascar rabane and raffia
Rabane and raffia are very durable natural fibers. To care for your basket, simply wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid immersing it in water or leaving it out in heavy rain. With regular use, your basket will retain its flexibility and shine for many years.
Our baskets are designed for everyday use at the market. The handles are made either from quality leather or from reinforced braided fibers, securely attached to support the weight of your groceries. They’re built to last and to accompany you faithfully.
Although natural, these materials are accustomed to tropical climates. They can handle moderate humidity without any issue. If your basket gets wet, reshape it and let it air-dry (avoid direct sunlight to preserve the colours).
All our baskets are handmade in Madagascar by talented women artisans or women-led cooperatives. We work in fair trade to ensure each piece directly supports local craftsmanship and the families of the Great Island.
