Our Moroccan Raffia shoes are made from Raffia grass that is grown in Madagascar and then imported to the seaside town of Essaouira on the west coast of Morocco. Local women in Essaouira treat and dye the Raffia grasses before weaving them into our shoes.
Our Story
Ours is a love story; a magical carpet ride started in 2007 when designer Milicent Armstrong first fell in love with shoes and bags made from vintage Kilim carpets on a trip to Istanbul.
Craftsmanship
At Artemis Design Co., our chain of production is hands-on and handmade. Our kilim products are crafted from hand-sourced vintage textiles, and each pair of shoes takes two full days to create.
