Our pieces, from sophisticated raffia bags to unique decorative objects , celebrate this precious material. Raffia is a symbol of exceptional craftsmanship and a sincere commitment to the planet.
Raffia: A Noble and Timeless Fiber
Born from the graceful leaves of a palm tree , raffia embodies the perfect combination of beauty and durability. Native to Africa and Madagascar, this natural fiber is distinguished by its flexibility and robustness. It has the ability to be transformed into unique works.
Unlike synthetic materials, raffia breathes life. It is biodegradable, renewable, and leaves a minimal ecological footprint.

Our artisans breathe a soul into each piece, transforming raffia into timeless accessories of rare elegance.
By choosing raffia, OQENA offers a new definition of fashion. One that combines aesthetic refinement and deep respect for the planet.
