Nathalie Kelley Instagram – Before we decided it was cool to wear plastic clothes that never biodegrade (nylon, polyester etc) – we were adorning ourselves with natural fibers that include grasses and palms like Raffia…. What @madeforawoman have done is nothing short of spectacular – reclaiming raffia as a viable textile – one that is beautiful, noble, humble and luxurious and the same time. Employing young women in Madagascar where the raffia is harvested, processed and then crochet knit into clothing and handbags – designer (and dear friend) @eileen_akbaraly had humanity and our relationship to the Earth in mind when she first came up with this concept. I am so excited to see what she does this next season… the new luxury is being draped in palm leaves, harvested sustainably, knit ethically and then gifted back to earth once you have loved the item until it’s end… ❤️
