About Straw For Fashion

Straw is a plant-based material made from dried stalks and leaves of cereal plants and palms. The description 'straw' is attached to many different types of plant fibres which are grown in different parts of the world.

Straw is increasingly being used in the fashion industry as a sustainable thin lightweight material to make different types of accessories particularly hats and bags.

The price of the accessories will vary according to the type of plant fibre used, largely due to where the fibre is grown and the volumes grown. For example, raffia is a more expensive straw because it is grown mostly in Madagascar and not as voluminous as straw textiles made from wheat, barley and such. 

Straw is a sustainable fiber.
