Our Story

Fashion and nature, ethics and aesthetics, luxury and sustainability: far from being an unlikely combination, this is the heart of the
Made For A Woman project. Our journey starts in 2019 in Madagascar, where talented artisans use raphia, a locally sourced natural fiber,
to create one-of-a-kind bags, hats, and accessories.

Our creations are the result of a fully transparent and sustainable business model: everything is made in-house
to ensure that every step of the process reflects our mission and values. We mostly work with vulnerable women, who we aim to
empower and support with living wages and a wide range of benefits to help them build a better future for themselves and their families.

Everything we make is for them, for you, and for our planet.

“Each of our creations is a unique work of art,
just like the women who make them.”
