Raffia comes from the leaves of the raffia palm, a tropical tree native to Africa, particularly in regions with warm and humid climates. The palm, belonging to theRaphia genus, is known for its exceptionally long leaves, which can grow up to 20 meters, making them some of the largest in the plant kingdom.

The fibers are extracted from the inner part of these leaves, then dried to become strong, flexible, and lightweight. This makes raffia an ideal material for crafting and weaving. Across Africa, it is traditionally used to create ropes, baskets, mats, hats, and decorative textiles.

In many African communities, raffia is an integral part of traditional crafts, often linked to cultural and ceremonial uses. Its natural and sustainable properties also make it popular in global eco-conscious design.
