About IKIALA

We create handcrafted and sustainable bags, hats, baskets, and placemats that are not only aesthetically pleasing and functional but also tell stories and traditions of a distant land. IKIALA celebrates the vibrant world of raffia, a natural material with a long tradition in Madagascar, transformed into unique home and fashion accessories by the hands of talented Malagasy women. Our products are the result of hours of loving handwork perfected by generations of artisans. They are characterized by simple design and timeless natural color, are versatile, and can be easily combined with any style, allowing them to be worn and used in any season. We aim to preserve the cultural heritage of the island's craftsmanship and contribute to sustainable development in economic and sociocultural terms. We work in direct partnership with the artisans, providing them with a stable income and career opportunities.Read their story
