BELOA HAT

Raffia that looks good in the summer breeze and sunshine

Softly wavy raffia wide-brimmed hat. The "BELOA HAT" from TANORA, a brand that sublimates the Madagascar handcraft of raffia knitting into a modern fashion item.

Carefully weaved crochet

This refreshing and cool looking raffia hat is carefully woven using the finest raffia from Madagascar. The hat itself is soft to the touch and can be folded compactly due to the material's resistance to losing its shape when folded, making it convenient to carry. It is also recommended for travel and outdoor activities, as it can be carried without taking up too much space. The simple design allows you to fully incorporate the natural color and texture of raffia into your fashion.

The BELOA HAT features a wide brim that protects the face from UV rays. When worn, the brim naturally ripples, creating a beautiful draped form. A raffia ribbon, which also serves as a design point, circles the top portion and coconut buttons are attached to the sides.

The BELOA HAT goes well with sandals or a basket bag, so it will be very useful from spring, when the ultraviolet rays become stronger, to midsummer, when the sun is shining brightly.

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.
