You’ve seen them before! The pretty summer hats and beach bags that instantly get you in a sunny, sandy, vacation mood. The incredible accessories made from raffia that make their way back to the city and beach every summer (even though we firmly believe that a beautiful raffia bag can be worn all year!).

We love the look so much that we just had to have our very own raffia yarn. May we present: Rafaella!

Rafaella is made from 100% raffia paper (raffia is originally made from palms), is durable, and recyclable.

Small tip: Rafaela can also be used as ribbon when you wrap presents. A more sustainable and prettier alternative to the classic plastic ribbons.
