Madagascar raffia: a natural, trendy material that's easy to incorporate into your looks
Autumn is here and you're already thinking of relegating your raffia bag to the back of the closet? It would be a shame to deprive yourself of this timelessly charming accessory! Often associated with the beach and summer, the raffia accessory seems difficult to match with autumn looks. But what if we put our prejudices aside? You canadd a touch of sunshine to your autumn silhouettes by incorporating raffia into your looks. Let's take a look at the main advantages of Madagascar raffia to convince you.
A fiber with authentic charm that gives life to a varied collection of accessories
The authentic look and sleek nuances of a Madagascar raffia bag easily complement a woman's wardrobe essentials, whatever the season. In addition, the IBELIV collection's crocheting techniques, which create a variety of stitches, and the process of dyeing the raffia fibers with natural dyes, guarantee creations with a multi-faceted style.
Benefit from a complete choice of knits and colors when selecting a raffia bag for your autumn wardrobe. Just browse the IBELIV collection to see for yourself. Our Madagascar raffia bags are available in a wide range of shades: beige, brown, orange, fuchsia, anise green, khaki, blue, gray and black. The same variety of choices is available in terms of mesh and raffia work: raffia braiding rubs shoulders with raffia bangs, raffia tassels, openwork or tightly-woven mesh, checkerboard or floral crochet, and so on.
A flagship material for ethical fashion, in Paris and around the world!
Another key advantage of Madagascan raffia is that accessories made from this natural fiber are part of a fashion trend that is now well established in Paris and the rest of the world: the emphasis on eco-friendly materials.
In contrast to fast-fashion, which does serious harm to the environment, ethical fashion favors a new approach in which nature has its rightful place. Madagascar raffia is crocheted into bags of all shapes and sizes - baskets, tote bags, shoulder bags, handbags and clutches - in response to a growing desire for more sustainable and responsible consumption. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, this flexible yet robust natural material has the advantage of being biodegradable and long-lasting.
IBELIV fall lookbook: 3 ideas for incorporating Madagascar raffia bags into your mid-season looks
In autumn, we're starting to warm up our silhouettes with cocooning knits and ditching sandals in favor of ankle boots. Madagascar raffia has a place in this new wardrobe. We can prove it to you right now with our autumn lookbook, which puts raffia in the spotlight more than ever!
Style n°1: loose-fitting cashmere sweater, high-waisted pants, leather ankle boots and raffia shoulder bag for work.
A raffia bag in autumn pairs perfectly with an oversized cashmere sweater. Its soft, woolly texture contrasts nicely with the sturdiness of raffia, balancing your look perfectly! Finish with leather ankle boots to add a noble material to the ensemble. These refined touches enhance your outfit, which consists of two basics: a sweater and pants.
This ensemble is one of the ideal silhouettes for going to the office once autumn has set in. For added practicality, opt for a raffia bag with a shoulder strap, to be worn on the shoulder or crossed over. The Tiako bag from the IBELIV collection is perfect for this purpose: a half-moon bag in raffia, it incorporates a shoulder strap and an elegant leather fastening, a chic echo to the leather of the boots.
Style n°2: flared jeans, thick blouse adorned with embroidery and raffia tote bag for a bohemian look
Paired with a thick blouse adorned with embroidered details and denim pants with flared bottoms, the oversized version of the raffia bag brings the authentic touch that was missing from your bohemian autumn look. Find the perfect bag to complete this outfit in the IBELIV collection! We offer the raffia bag in a range of basket and tote formats to ensure perfect harmony with your different looks.
Our favorite part of this bohemian look is the fringed basket, which makes the most of the natural raffia fibers. Raffia loops are sewn one by one onto the sides to enhance your bag and turn it into a real it-bag!
Now you've got everything you need to make the transition from summer to autumn without abandoning your raffia bag! Don't be nostalgic for summer dresses, and enjoy a return to cocooning sweaters, while continuing to wear your favorite raffia accessory. Would you like to add other raffia bags to your wardrobe to vary the pleasures over the months and silhouettes?
