L’ATELIER

La Maison du Raphia specializes in creating beautiful and utterly unique products for your home, made from the finest raffia.

We are committed to forging a mutually beneficial connection between people and resources.

With the very best flourishing raffia in the world and Madagascar being the largest producer, our workshop is proud to collaborate with local farmers and artisans to pioneer a better approach to sustainable production and community development. Our commitment to responsible sourcing and fair trade practices ensures that our raffia products not only meet the highest standards of quality, but also support the livelihoods of those who cultivate and craft them.

OUR PROJECT

La Maison du Raphia has a dual focus of empowering disadvantaged Malagasy women and supporting raffia producers in their pursuit of fair wages and economic stability.

Through our training programs, we provide women with the opportunity to learn a valuable skill and achieve greater independence. By honing their craft, they can earn a sustainable income and help their families meet their basic needs.

In addition, we work directly with local raffia producers, reducing intermediaries and building strong commercial relationships based on dialogue, transparency, and respect. By forging these direct partnerships, we ensure that producers receive fair compensation for their products and have greater financial stability. Through annual contracts with fixed prices, we provide them with economic security and the confidence to plan for the future.

By providing this support to both farmers and artisans, our enterprise creates a sustainable and equitable ecosystem that enables all parties to earn a fair and comfortable living wage.
