The piece
Made for the hours that feel unhurried.
The Micro with movement. The same compact frame, finished with hand-cut raffia fringe along the base that catches light and air. Slightly less serious, slightly more alive. Dimensions: 24 × 19 × 9 cm (W × H × D).
The fringe is not an afterthought — it is cut strand by strand in the Athens workshop, from the same sun-dried Madagascar raffia as the body of the bag, so it moves the way the weave breathes. Underneath it sits the full ION construction: days of handweaving in Madagascar, leather trim fitted in Greece, and a serial number of its own — the whole journey is told in The Craft.
Wear it to nights that begin in a courtyard and end in a kitchen. The fringe wants to be moved with, not fussed over; when sand or salt find it, the Care Guide brings it back in minutes. In Black for the evenings, Light for the afternoons, and Tea for everything between.
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.
