ARIVA HANDBAG

Fresh and summery

TANORA handbags are carefully woven from raffia material from the island of Madagascar. ARIVA HANDBAG" from TANORA, a brand that sublimates the Madagascar handcraft of raffia weaving into a modern fashion item.

Handbag or clutch bag.

This raffia handbag is solidly built with a beautiful weave. The magnetic closure flap has a large buckle made of coconut material, which gives the bag a more natural look. The shoulder strap, which can be adjusted by tying it on yourself, can be detached with a hook, allowing you to enjoy carrying it as a clutch bag.

The inside of the bag is also made of raffia and has no pockets. It has a slim design but is long horizontally, so it has surprisingly good storage capacity when placed side by side inside. It can hold a long wallet, a paperback book, and a small cosmetic pouch.

Of course it matches a fresh shirt or T-shirt style, but it is also a design you would want to take with you to a wedding in the spring or summer, or on a trip to a beach resort.

Using raffia, a highly sustainable material

Raffia is a natural fiber with a unique beauty derived from the leaves of the raffia palm, the growth of which is limited to certain tropical regions. 75% of the world's natural raffia comes from Madagascar, and TANORA uses the highest quality of raffia. The raffia is one of the easiest natural materials to dye, soft to the touch and gentle on the skin, yet has an attractive texture and high durability. The raffia is also naturally waxed for excellent water resistance and durability.

Currently, there is a problem in Madagascar that raffia is being cut down in large quantities and exported to other countries. TANORA is responsible for both raffia and human resources, and is working for sustainable manufacturing. TANORA is responsible for both raffia and human resources.

The raffia is managed for growth and cultivation, and harvesting is done by hand, pruning the raffia at a minimum of 1.2 meters, rather than cutting it down, so as not to impede its health and growth. The brand has a sincere attitude, and only those over 18 years old are allowed to work in the workshops in Madagascar, promising a fair working environment and wages, and providing continuous employment with job and livelihood support.

ブランド紹介

TANORA

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.
