FAQs
Is every bag exactly the same?
No. Because the raffia is handwoven, each piece is unique and may exhibit subtle variations in color and weave pattern.
Can I carry heavy items in this bag?
While durable, it is intended for daily essentials. Avoid carrying heavy, sharp, or metallic items that could damage the woven structure.
How do I clean the raffia material?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Do not submerge in water.
Will the strap stretch over time?
Like many natural materials, the strap may experience minor settling with heavy use, but it is reinforced to maintain its integrity.
Can I use this bag in the rain?
It is not waterproof. If it gets damp, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and let it air dry in a well-ventilated space.
Troubleshooting
The bag has developed a loose straw strand
Do not pull the strand. Use small embroidery scissors to carefully trim it flush with the weave to prevent further fraying.
Magnetic closure is not snapping shut
Check that the area around the closure is clear of debris or fibers that may be blocking the magnetic connection.
The bag has lost its shape
Stuff the bag with clean tissue paper or a soft towel and leave it in a cool place for 24 hours to help it regain its structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your raffia bag in peak condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the natural pigments over time. If the bag gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally in a shaded area; do not use heat sources like hair dryers, as this can cause the material to become brittle. To clean, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust from the weave. Avoid contact with heavy perfumes or oils, as the porous nature of the natural fibers may absorb and retain stains.
