Sans-Arcidet: Raffia Bags with Unmatched Uniqueness

In the crowded landscape of fashion brands, Sans-Arcidet shines as a distinct and remarkable choice. What sets Sans-Arcidet apart from their competitors in the raffia bags and accessories

A Family Journey: The Birth of Sans-Arcidet Collection

The tale of the Sans-Arcidet brand is rooted in familial bonds and the spirit of adventure. It all began when the father of the 3 sisters behind the brand, who worked in Madagascar, invited the whole family to join him on the island. Together, they embarked on an exploration of Madagascar’s breathtaking landscapes, immersed themselves in the vibrant local culture, and were entranced by the island’s unspoiled beauty.

It was during this family journey that the Sans-Arcidet sisters were inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Madagascar and the remarkable raffia craftsmanship they encountered. Raffia, in particular, caught their attention, and has been at the heart of the brand’s identity since its inception. The sisters conceived a brand that would not only produce raffia bags but would also act as a conduit between this captivating island and the Parisian chic. Thus, the Sans-Arcidet Collection was founded, marking the debut of a brand that defies fashion trends with its exceptional raffia creations.

Traditional raffia goods are often perceived as casual, rustic accessories. While many brands often stick to traditional earthy and neutral hues, Sans-Arcidet has ventured into uncharted territory by offering an extensive array of colours in their collections. Our Spring/Summer 2023 collection, for example, boasts an impressive palette of 10 different colours. This colourful explosion is a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by monochromatic options.

Sans-Arcidet‘s commitment to a diverse colour range empowers fashion enthusiasts to express their individuality. The brand’s collections feature colours that cater to every taste, from vibrant and bold shades to more understated and muted tones. The dyes we use to develop our various shades are all Oeko-Tex certified. With such a broad spectrum to choose from, customers can find a raffia bag that perfectly complements their personal style and preferences.
