In recent years, raffia baskets have gone from being a simple summer accessory to a year-round wardrobe essential. Their natural look, lightness, and connection to traditional craftsmanship have placed them at the forefront of fashion and design. This trend, which combines functionality with authenticity, can now be seen on runways, city streets, and the world’s most exclusive holiday destinations.
Why Raffia?
Raffia is a natural fiber harvested from palm leaves. Its soft yet durable texture and organic appearance make it the ideal material for bags, baskets, and accessories that exude both freshness and style. Moreover, it’s a sustainable and biodegradable material — highly valued in the design world for its artisanal feel and low environmental impact.
As more consumers seek products with soul, purpose, and sustainability, raffia has become a symbol of the return to essentials: handmade goods, long-lasting materials, and a closer connection to nature.
Our Approach: Raffia Meets Leather
At Real Leather Studio, we’ve been working with noble materials for over 40 years, always with a deep respect for craftsmanship. That’s why we’ve created a unique collection that brings together the best of two worlds: the natural lightness of raffia and the timeless elegance of our finest leather.
The result is our collection of raffia and leather baskets — handcrafted pieces that combine tradition, design, and practicality. Each basket is handwoven and finished in premium leather by our skilled artisans in Ubrique, Spain, resulting in a product of exceptional quality and character.
More Than a Bag: A Statement of Style and Values
Our raffia baskets aren’t just fashion accessories — they’re a celebration of skilled craftsmanship, natural materials, and Mediterranean lifestyle. Perfect for a beach day, a city stroll, or even a summer evening, they are lightweight, spacious, and effortlessly stylish.
And like all our products, they are made with ethical and sustainable values, in limited editions, with full transparency in every step of the production process.
