Inheriting humanity and artistry through raffia

TANORA, which means "youth" or "inception," is a brand of raffia products founded in Australia by Manon and Will, two passionate people from Madagascar. The technique of weaving bobbin lace was introduced during the French colonial period in the 19th century, and it has taken root. Lace is often thought of as a thin, delicate art form made of cotton or silk, but Madagascar has a long history of producing high-quality bobbin lace made of cotton threads and raffia. The art of raffia lace weaving is passed down from mother to daughter, generation to generation, but in recent years, young people in Madagascar are losing interest in the art, he says. TANORA incorporates the contemporary and fashionable sensibilities and designs of Australia into sincere craftsmanship with "the humanity and artistry of Madagascar's unique techniques. Lace is made by crochet, a traditional handcraft, and efforts are made to train artisans to maintain and pass on the traditional techniques that have been handed down, including weaving machines. This is a brand with a sincere attitude that promises fair working conditions and wages in its Madagascar workshops and continuous employment with vocational and livelihood support.
