For generations, women in the northeastern rainforest region have created linear patterns and warp striping using raffia fibres. The rich dark strands are naturally dyed with leaves from the \u003cem\u003eHarungana\u003c\/em\u003e ‘dragon’s blood’ tree, while invasive plants are used to power the dye baths, adding an ecological dimension to the process.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe raffia is sourced directly from local farmers who sustainably prune the palms and contribute to the restoration of native raffia and \u003cem\u003eHarungana\u003c\/em\u003e trees in rainforest-bordering landscapes. For the Selvedge collection, the fringe is hand-threaded back into the raffia cloth to create a smooth edge, a process that takes one artisan a full day. Loom-woven to order, each pair carries subtle variations in colour, texture and pattern, reflecting the natural materials and hands involved in its making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 × 48 cm each\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raffia (\u003cem\u003eRaphia farinifera\u003c\/em\u003e), naturally dyed with leaf dye from the \u003cem\u003eHarungana\u003c\/em\u003e ‘dragon’s blood’ tree (\u003cem\u003eHarungana madagascariensis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ready to be dispatched within 10 weeks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*This is a set of 2 placemats.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.selvedge.org\/products\/madagascar-tanana-raffia-and-wild-silk-textiles\" title=\"ta'na'na artisan profile\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1395\/5787\/files\/See_artisan_profile_98689f9e-abd9-4b66-9d89-b549ae0afac9.png?v=1617202189\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ta'na'na","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49435765866731,"sku":"RA-HW-26TL1419-BLKNAT-STR","price":234.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1395\/5787\/files\/Mivatra1_08364e2b-e1d9-417f-9238-ea4fce6e6ce1.png?v=1789985387","url":"https:\/\/www.selvedge.org\/products\/madagascar-tanana-mivatra-stripe-placemat","provider":"Selvedge Magazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
