Duarra

Duarra Duarra aims to promote fair trade in the developing world through partnerships with local artisans. We endeavour to give them access to global markets.

We aim to deliver affordable, high quality raffia shoulder bags for men and women and multipurpose backpacks. Our goods are fairly traded. We negotiate directly with the artisans who produce our bags. Raffia (or raphia) from which this textile is made, grows in the wetlands area. The textile used to make our bags comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, in central Africa. Before they are weaved, the strands of raffia are split in half with fingers or, as is the case in some part of Congo, with a fine comb. The strands are then arranged to be weaved on the loom. Raffia is a renewable resource. It s harvested in a way that does not damage the tree, so that it can continue to grow new branches for future harvesting. Congolese artisans use traditional methods and a life long love of their work. The end result is a handmade product of great charm, variety of pattern and vibrant color.
