RAFFIA, IN A NUTSHELL

Our raffia accessories are the perfect companions for your most beautiful summers. A plant fiber from palm trees, raffia is a living material, prized for its flexibility and natural resistance. Each piece is unique: its slight irregularities are what give it its authentic and timeless charm.

Here's how to care for this sun-kissed material so it can accompany you season after season.

OUR CARE TIPS

  • DAILY

    Raffia loves lightness. To keep your bag or hat looking its best:

    • Dusting: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a clothes brush) to gently remove dust accumulated between the fibers.
    • Gentleness: A light touch is enough to preserve the weave without fraying it.

  • TASK PROCESSING

    Excessive humidity is harmful to raffia. If a stain appears, act precisely:

    • Dry wipe: First, blot with a soft, dry cloth.
    • Targeted cleaning: If the stain persists, slightly dampen your cloth. You can add a hint of neutral Marseille soap.
    • Immediate drying: Once the stain is gone, gently rub with a dry cloth to absorb any trace of moisture.

    Warning: Prolonged contact with water can deform the fiber and cause slight shrinkage of your accessory. Keep it very dry!

ENSURING THE DURABILITY OF YOUR PART

  • STORAGE CONDITIONS

    To ensure your item lasts for years without losing its shape:

    • The ideal shelter: Store your accessories in a dry, temperate place. The best way? Slip them into their Balzac Paris cotton dust bag to protect them from dust.
    • Moderate heliotropism: Avoid prolonged exposure to intense heat or direct sunlight when not wearing your item, to prevent the fiber from drying out.
    • A sense of space: Do not compress your bag in a closet that is too narrow. Raffia needs space to maintain its original shape and avoid permanent creases.
