Our STAR product
The round raffia rug!
Created in an associative workshop in the North of Madagascar, the rugs are entirely handmade. The craftswomen make their dyes from raffia and then braid the colored strands into a long mat that they roll up on itself.
The rugs are unique pieces signed by each craftswoman.
The rugs are between 60 cm and 2.30 m in diameter. It takes 3 weeks to make a 2 m rug .

How we discovered Madagascar

The Hostel of Father Pedro in Tananarive was designed by a team of architects and decorators in France
With the Hostel project, Laure explores the treasures of Malagasy craftsmanship and signs a supportive, responsible project decorated with 100% handmade pieces from local workshops.
