Raffia

Eric Javits is the inventor of synthetic raffia.

In 1995 he trade marked this innovative material Squishee®, because that best described what it could do. Squishee® straw is a sustainable man-made packable material, which incorporates recycled fibers.

It resembles natural raffia, but is actually more durable and lightweight.

Squishee® will not crack from wear or melt when wet, allowing you to take accessories made of it, wherever you go.
