The piece
Made for the hours that feel unhurried.
The one that does everything. Big enough for a book, a scarf, a water bottle, and all the usual essentials. Small enough to carry without thinking about it. The Medium is the ION most people reach for first and keep reaching for longest. Dimensions: 26 × 27 × 12 cm (W × H × D).
Squared in proportion, generous in the ways that matter, it carries you from morning errands to long lunches to the lights coming on — without negotiation. That reliability is built in by hand: raffia palm cut and sun-dried in Madagascar, woven over days into a body that keeps its posture, then finished in Athens with a sculptural leather handle shaped to sit in the palm. Every Medium carries its own serial number; The Craft explains why, and The Materials explains what it's made of.
Raffia at this scale only improves with use — the weave relaxes into your day. Keep it beautiful with the small habits in the Care Guide. In Brown, Light, Black, and Tea.
Woven in Madagascar
Raffia harvested in the dry season, split by hand, woven stitch by stitch by artisans who learned from their mothers.
Finished in Athens
Each bag receives its Φ charm and handmade dust bag in our Athens studio — and the Large, its leather drawstrings. The last hands before yours.
Carried through summer
From the Cyclades to the Athenian Riviera. Raffia and salt air, warm stone, late dinners. Made for the unhurried hours.
FAQ
Is raffia waterproof?
Raffia is a natural fiber and is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or moisture. If your bag gets wet, let it air dry naturally — never use a hairdryer or direct heat.
Will my bag look exactly like the photos?
Each ION is handwoven individually, so slight variations in weave, texture, and tone are natural. These aren't defects — they're the signature of the artisan who made it.
How should I store my ION?
Store it in the dust bag provided, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing the interior with tissue paper helps maintain the shape.
Can I return my bag?
Yes. We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, provided the bag is in its original condition with all packaging. See our Returns Policy for details.
