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.

Women’s Raffia Hats and Bags

The Squishee® material is meticulously designed to mimic the look and feel of natural raffia straw. However, its synthetic composition confers several benefits that natural raffia lacks. Most importantly, the Squishee® material is remarkably durable, maintaining its shape and structure even under the strains of regular use. This feature is particularly noteworthy as it allows products such as hats and bags to be rolled, folded, or packed without causing any damage or deformation. When unfurled, these items spring back to their original shape, undamaged and ready to wear.
