Product Insights

The Mosaic Braided Raffia Straw Pocket by IBELIV is a handcrafted bag made from natural Madagascan raffia with air-dried fibers and natural resin, lined with organic cotton, and designed in France. Its slim braided weave maintains a 1 cm depth even when loaded, fitting A4 documents flat and serving as an organizer inside larger bags. The bag lasts years with care, with a six-year owner reporting it still looks new, though heavy rain can soften fibers and fade colors while light rain is safe with proper air-drying. Priced at $350 CAD, it offers 4.6 times the surface area of similarly-priced Manebí Isla, providing an entry into IBELIV's craft.

    I have a raffia tote that I bought 6 years ago for the brand IBeliv ( it’s a French brand too and they have handmade in France raffia hats and bags ) I think at the time I paid 150€ for the bag . It’s lined inside with thick cotton , I don’t have a Sezane raffia bag , I did consider getting one but never got it is . Again a high quality raffia bag can last years if you take good care of it.
