Where does raffia come from

The raffia is a Malagasy plant that has been used for generations to make objects from its leaves. The leaves are very strong, and can measure up to 25 metres, making them the longest leaves in the world. These long leaves are cultivated, dried and cut into long strips. They are used for cooking, making ropes, weaving baskets and of course hats.

How to wear the raffia straw

With its natural aspect, the raffia straw hat seduces more than one. Women and men can wear a raffia accessory. The thick weave adds a casual element to any outfit. With models with a wide brim you will feel comfortable at the beach. The raffia porkepie is suitable for outings in the city as well as in the country or at the water's edge, with its short skullcap and raised edges.

Any summer outfit goes with the raffia hat. It goes just as well with shorts and a tank top as with a swimsuit or even a dress for women.

The maintenance of a raffia head covering

First of all, in order to keep your straw hat intact for as long as possible, it must be stored in a place where there is no risk of it becoming deformed, as this will damage the straw.

For the maintenance in itself it is recommended to clean the hat with a cloth of water and Marseille soap, and then iron the hat again with a cloth but only with water.
