Product Insights
The Malagasy Raffia Handbag Charms by Vanessa Bruno, handcrafted in Madagascar using renewable, biodegradable raffia and ancestral weaving techniques, are a nearly weightless (80g) cluster of unique pink lily flowers that attach without scratching bags, offering natural elasticity and a bohemian aesthetic. At the seasonal clearance price of CA$49.95, they represent a competitive value, though they are only available in one size and pink shade, best paired with white, straw, or denim and not with busy patterns or red, and each piece carries authentic artisan variations.
Verified claims

- Craftsmanship
- Madagascar-handcrafted raffia with 2,000-year-old weaving techniques.
- Sustainability

- Soft raffia loop will not scratch delicate bag surfaces.
- Loop resilience
- Natural elasticity keeps the loop's shape after stretching over a handle.

- Artisanal authenticity
- Handmade in Madagascar, each charm has slight color and texture variations that mark it as authentic.
- Color accuracy
- Product photos accurately represent the pink raffia shade.
- Color options
- Only pink color and one size are offered.

- Care
