SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS CRAFT

SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS CRAFT

Each Capri bag is handwoven in Madagascar by seasoned female artisans, empowered by an inspiring local social enterprise. Its mission is to not only celebrate their time-honoured weaving and crocheting skills, but through providing what is their sole source of income, they are able to support their families themselves.

LOCALLY HARVESTED NATURAL RAFFIA

LOCALLY HARVESTED NATURAL RAFFIA

The 100% natural raffia leaves used for the baskets are locally sourced, harvested, dried in the sun, and dyed with a high quality, chemical-free dye. With this purist, handbuilt process, each bag is subtly unique, with a placement of sumptuous DeMellier leather to finish.

ANCESTRAL HERITAGE

ANCESTRAL HERITAGE

Environmentally sensitive, tactile works of art, every bag is special. Each basket not only reflects DeMellier’s own characteristic commitment to craftsmanship, but the legacy of generations of ancestral tradition and technique that went into making each and every one.

“With ethical and sustainable craft being such a big part of our DNA, we feel really proud to be able to celebrate the amazing Madagascan women that created our Capri basket bags.”
