We have opened a few more doors into "A Bag of Stories". Not because we need another place to promote ourselves, but because we still believe that a network can be a place where people notice one another.
As we continue to build "A Bag of Stories", the AFAR magazine, we turn our attention to another design from the Raffia Collection: Kaluwa, a distinctive woven bag created in two sizes for the lighter rhythm of summer.
AFAR has a new online home and a new way of writing to you. From now on, our collections will arrive with stronger images, clearer information, and more room for the materials, people, and ideas behind what we make. We begin with Keisha: one generous shape, interpreted in three distinct voices.
Raffia begins in wet ground, close to water, where the palm grows and each harvest must leave enough of the plant untouched for it to continue living. From Madagascar to Addis Ababa, the fiber carries the memory of landscapes, skilled hands, and decisions made with care.
