Equal Hands raffia shoes are handmade from the fibre of the raffia palm tree, which grows in various parts of Africa. This tree has spectacular leaves and branches that can grow to almost 60 feet long. In order to obtain the fibre local artisans cut and tear the leaves to yield long continuous green fibre. This material has fantastic qualities that make it perfect for weaving. It is soft yet strong, it is easy to bend, durable and, of course, biodegradable.  We work with skilled local artisans in [Marrakech], who have been making raffia shoes for [generations] to bring you these excellent, one of a kind, slippers as suitable for a summer stroll by the beach as a winter morning shuffle to your fireplace in pajamas.
