Interesting Stories about Raffia Straw

There is a fable about raffia

It is said that in ancient South Africa, a prince of a tribe fell deeply in love with the daughter of a poor family. Their love was opposed by the royal family, and the prince fled with the girl. They ran to a place full of raffia and decided to hold a wedding there.

The prince, who had nothing, made bracelets and rings out of raffia for his bride and made a wish that he would be together with his beloved forever and return to his hometown one day.

 One day, the raffia ring suddenly broke, and two palace guards appeared in front of them. It turned out that the old king and queen had forgiven them because they missed their son and sent people to take them back to the palace. So people also call raffia wishing grass.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In addition to linen and pure cotton, which are essential basic materials for summer, raffia can be said to be another popular material in summer. The natural texture makes you feel as if you are in an exclusive atmosphere at any time, whether it is used for handbags or shoes. The surface is smooth and shiny, not easy to crack or afraid of water, and not easy to deform when folded. More importantly, it will not harm the natural ecology and is very friendly to the environment. More and more brands are releasing raffia items in summer. What is it like to be “grown with grass” from head to toe?
