OUR STORY

WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE EARTHY SCENT OF RAFFIA AT FIRST BREATHE 

We've been living in Madagascar since 2016. Every day, we experience its extraordinary beauty and authenticity. The combination of stunning nature and the fascinating world of Malagasy culture captivated us from the very beginning.

And that's how MadaCraft was born. 

We didn't want to keep the energy and vibrancy of local life just to ourselves. We decided to share it with others, those who, like us, appreciate exotic beauty, uniqueness, and quality infused with the raw scent of nature.

Artisan workshops are found on every corner of the island. In many villages, traditional raffia craftsmanship is the backbone of entire communities. In many villages, traditional raffia craftsmanship is the backbone of entire communities. Skilled hands turn the giant palms with their enormous leaves into stunning pieces that are not only beautiful but also practical. 

CREATING WITH RESPECT

Our model designs are created by Petra Riou, founder of MadaCraft. She draws inspiration from nature's colors, shapes, and textures. 

We took great care in selecting the workshops we work with prioritizing not only craftsmanship and reliability but also a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Our goal is to create timeless products while offering honest local artisans a way to maintain a stable income. 

Together, we build values in harmony with nature, with respect for people, materials, and generations of know‑how.
