The piece

Made for the hours that feel unhurried.

The smallest ION. Enough room for the things that actually matter — keys, phone, wallet, lipstick — and nothing else. The Micro is a deliberate edit, a bag for the woman who has already decided what she needs. Dimensions: 24 × 19 × 9 cm (W × H × D).

Like every ION, the Micro is made twice. First in Madagascar, where sun-dried raffia palm is woven entirely by hand into a dense, structured body that holds its shape through seasons of use. Then in Athens, where the leather trim is cut, fitted, and finished piece by piece — the second half of a process you can follow in The Craft. Before it leaves the workshop, each Micro is given its own serial number: proof that this bag was made as a singular object, never one of thousands.

It was designed for low light and longer pauses — taverna tables, candle wax, the walk back along the water — and it asks for very little in return: a soft brush, a dry shelf in winter, the small rituals of the Care Guide. In Black, Madagascar, Light, 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.
