Zanatany Concepts

Zanatany, means child of the Earth in Malagasy, a belonging and cultural affirmation. We have lived in Madagascar all our lives and have loved sharing, living and working with the Malagasy people. This inspiration has oriented us to expose some of the most beautiful handcrafted pieces today in the world of fashion. While keeping sustainability at the heart of our work, we are working with a natural fibre, the raffia. The raffia fibre is soft, pliable, strong, durable, easy to dye and biodegradable making it an excellent material for weaving baskets, hats, mats and rugs. While we create more work and income for a country that is largely left behind, we hope to make a local difference in some families by bringing additional income to help the next generation grow.
