How Artisans Craft Our Raffia Wallcovering

When it comes to wallcovering that exudes both elegance and texture, few materials rival the natural charm of raffia. Phillip Jeffries newest collection, Fringe Benefits, takes this timeless material to new heights with a double-row fringe.

Raffia is a natural fiber derived from the dried leaves of the raffia palm. Each strand is handwoven, a process that reflects the rhythm of nature itself. Because raffia is harvested seasonally, slight variations in color and texture are not only expected—they’re celebrated. These subtle shifts are what give raffia wallcoverings their organic soul and one-of-a-kind appeal. We offer many styles from braided and thatched to metallic washes and 3D details. Below we'll share details on each collection.

Fringe Benefits & Capri Raffia

Whether finished with a subtle metallic wash or left in its natural state, raffia texture is unmistakably rich and our latest collection is offered with a fringe or on it's own as a complement called Capri Raffia. Fringe Benefits is a glamorous reinterpretation of classic raffia. Crafted with authentic raffia fibers, this wallcovering introduces a double-row fringe detail that adds playful sophistication to any space. Each panel is pre-trimmed to 43 inches wide and features a 21.5-inch vertical repeat, ensuring seamless installation and a consistent visual rhythm across walls. The collection is stocked in the U.S. and typically ships within 1–2 days.



Woven of only the finest authentic raffia, the Rainforest Raffia Collection encompasses three series, Island, African, and Rainforest Raffia. All are hand-woven by artisans, the Island Raffia in the Philippines and the African in Madagascar. The raffia matting is then transported to our Japanese mill where it is expertly laminated to a fabric backing and finished with a stain repellent finish.
