Panier Raffia Cabas Bag by Vanessa Bruno

A nice twist to the classic cabas. Vanessa Bruno honors raffia and its land of origin: Madagascar. The island is the cradle of high-quality raw material and is an expert in unique weaving know-how that is perpetuated and developed from generation to generation. Entirely handmade, Vanessa Bruno raffia bags require five to twenty-two days of work for the most complex models. This production allows Malagasy women to have access to a profession and a stable source of income. 

• Braided design, large interior compartment, handles, label with logo, leather lining, worn in the hand, artisanal craftsmanship, basket sizing, and details may vary.
• 100% raffia / 100% vegetable tanned calf leather
•  16.5" x height 9.8" x depth 5"
