Developed exclusively with 100% pure Madagascan raffia by Helen Kaminski master craftsmen, rollable raffia braid is 50% finer than their signature fine braid. Helen Kaminski source's the finest, sustainably harvested Madagascan raffia to create the signature raffia braid. Skilled artisans create long, continuous coils by gradually feeding new strands of raffia into the braid so there are no visible joins.

Raffia has a natural resin making it innately soft, supple and resilient; Unlike straw, raffia has longevity and won't crack or get brittle over time.
