FRENCH LABEL ba&sh BRINGS A NEW LINE OF RAFFIA ACCESSORIES “MADE IN MADAGASCAR” TO THE MIDDLE EAST

Impossible to resist this exclusive accessories Collection handmade all the way in Madagascar and available now in the Middle East!

This season, ba&sh has developed a full line of accessories made from raffia.

Handcrafted by highly skilled Madagascan artisans on the Great Red Island. These unique baskets are made using carefully selected natural material such as leather, and in particular raffia from the leaves of the palm trees native to the island, bought directly from the gatherers without any middlemen.

Both modern and timeless, the ba&sh raffia collection combines fashion, authenticity and exoticism—true craftsmanship. “We were won over by the skill and expertise of the brand Sans Arcidet and touched by the commitment of these three sisters to the Madagascan people. That’s why we decided to work with them to create this collection, including two styles with co-branding. With this line, we hope to show that raffia—already a must-have for beach styles—can add a twist to an urban look for days in the city”, explained Barbara and Sharon.

Wear them from the Beach to the office, and in town for a girl’s night out: they are our Summer Best Friends!
