This bag was made by the KOJIMA women's cooperative in Fandriana, Madagascar. Being a part of KOJIMA provides income to single women experiencing homelessness in a way that uses local and sustainable materials. KOJIMA artists harvest raffia, a locally growing and regenerating Malagasy grass, and dye it with local plants like cassava. The raffia is dried, dyed, and woven into the intricate pieces you see here. We buy these pieces from the artists at prices they set themselves, no questions asked, and share them with you. If you like what you see, make sure to purchase an item or two so we can continue this partnership!

 

Komety is the Malagasy name of the comet moth, a gorgeous endemic species that cannot be found anywhere else in the world!
