Trend RAFFIA 2025: 5 fashion accessories to add to your wardrobe

The RAFFIA was one of the star materials of 2025. And that's not about to change! This trend is set to continue over time, as consumption patterns evolve towards greater eco-responsibility and sustainability.

As well as being warm and authentic, this material is a natural fiber derived from the leaves of Madagascar palm trees. Flexible and resistant, it guarantees the design of sturdy fashion accessories that become real life companions. Make way for sustainable RAFFIA bags, clutches and hats! Here's a spotlight on the RAFFIA items you need to be on the cutting edge of ethical and responsible fashion this season and beyond...

If RAFFIA is an essential natural fiber, it's not just because of its strength and durability. Its authentic aesthetic is perfectly in tune with current trends. Fashion now prefers to dispense with artifice, and value the treasures of nature. A trend that can only continue, as consumers reconnect with nature and become more committed than ever to the environment!

The know-how of Madagascan artisans is perfectly suited to this quest for authenticity and naturalness. These artists in their own right wield the art of crocheting to perfection, enabling them to vary the stitches and combine bangs, braids and RAFFIA stitches to sublimate the natural material. From baskets to handbags and hats, they reinvent the RAFFIA fashion accessory to give it an irresistible trendy touch. Among the RAFFIA textures and patterns that made their name in 2025 are the following:

• Refined braiding for a touch of sophistication: RAFFIA braiding complements the fiber's crochet work on many items.
• Modern patterns for a contemporary look: floral and foliage embroidery, openwork motifs, alternating knits and bangs are just some of the trends adorning RAFFIA items.
• RAFFIA tassels for a bohemian edge: the purse-shaped handbag tightened by a drawstring with RAFFIA tassels is an iconic model for the season.

Dyed or raw, 100% crocheted or bi-material, casual or sophisticated, RAFFIA fashion accessories come in a variety of shapes and styles, making them an ally of choice when it comes to finalizing your look. Here's a roundup of items to include in your wardrobe for the 2025 season, to keep you on the cutting edge of fashion: handbags, baskets, mini bags, clutches and hats.
