A few honest answers to the questions we hear most often about FELUS.
What is FELUS?
FELUS is a house of handwoven raffia bags, made in Madagascar. Every piece is designed to feel singular rather than mass-produced.
What is raffia?
Raffia is a natural fibre harvested from the leaves of the raffia palm, dried by hand and woven into structure. It is lightweight, breathable, and durable — one of the oldest textile fibres still made almost entirely without industry.
How do I care for a raffia bag?
Keep it dry, out of direct sun, and store it stuffed lightly with tissue paper in a breathable dust bag. Clean it with a dry brush or a barely damp cloth — never soak it.
Can a raffia bag be worn outside of summer?
Yes. Raffia works as a neutral material year-round — paired with knits and darker tones, it carries just as naturally into autumn as it does into a summer wardrobe.
