Amarré is one of those brands that fully align with Ferent Bags' selection: handmade pieces, natural materials, and a style that never goes out of fashion at the end of the season. The French brand works with raffia alongside artisans in Madagascar, and each bag spends several days in someone's hands before arriving here. The result is lightweight, durable bags with that lively texture that only hand-worked fibers possess.
In this category, we've gathered the entire Amarré collection available at Ferent Bags: iconic models like Velvet, Sole, Nacre, Muse, or Cruise, in neutral tones and combinations with honey, in addition to the Lirio and Mariposa charms to personalize any piece. These bags are designed for the city, the beach, a weekend getaway, or to add character to a simple weekday outfit.
Why AMARRÉ bags work so well
Amarré's natural raffia isn't just an aesthetic whim. It's a lightweight, breathable fiber that's surprisingly resistant to daily wear, and due to its artisanal finish, no two bags are exactly alike. This connects with Ferent Bags' DNA: pieces with identity, truly limited editions, and bags that not everyone carries.
Amarré bags feature a palette of natural, honey, and colorful tones that look good with both a white linen dress and jeans and a basic t-shirt. They fit within the universe of boho bags, but with a more polished and editorial edge, far from the summery cliché.
Models sought after by Ferent's customers
Velvet naturel and miel: medium size, very versatile for everyday summer use.
Sole THE: rounded silhouette, a nod to bucket bags reinterpreted in raffia.
Nacre and Muse naturel: clean lines, ideal as a handbag for a country-style wedding or communion.
Cruise naturel and miel: capacity to carry essentials with a refined finish.
Lirio and Mariposa charms: the detail that transforms a neutral bag into your own unique piece.
How to style AMARRÉ bags
Although associated with warm weather, AMARRÉ bags work beyond the beach and summer binary. In spring, a large crossbody model with wide-leg jeans and a white shirt effortlessly completes a daily look. For a summer guest, a Nacre or Muse in a medium size complements linen dresses and flat sandals better than any classic clutch.
If you're looking for a more practical travel bag, the large raffia models fall squarely into the realm of beach bags and shopper-style formats. For a city outing, a smaller size acts as a light, characterful crossbody bag, without such a marked summery feel.
The charms deserve a special mention. Adding a brown butterfly or an orange lily to a neutral bag completely changes the perception of the outfit and allows the same piece to be reused in very different contexts without repeating the styling.
Basic care and why handmade raffia is worth it
Natural raffia appreciates being stored in a dry place, avoiding prolonged contact with moisture and sun creams. For daily maintenance, a soft brushing is sufficient. As it is a living fiber, with use it acquires a patina that many customers value precisely for this reason: the bag becomes personalized over time.
If you're transitioning from leather bags to natural fibers, Amarré is a good entry point. The quality of the fabric and construction are on par with a well-crafted leather piece, with the added advantages of feather-light weight and summer versatility.

Frequently asked questions about AMARRÉ bags
Where are AMARRÉ bags manufactured?
All AMARRÉ bags are handmade in Madagascar, using natural raffia and traditional artisanal techniques. Each piece requires several days of work, which is why units are limited and no two bags are identical.
Are they bags only for spring and summer?
They are especially comfortable in warm weather due to their lightness and natural aesthetic, but they work all year round in mild climates and as a contrast in transitional outfits. In winter, they pair very well with wool coats and rustic fabrics.
What size Amarré bag should I choose if it's my first raffia bag?
If you're looking for a versatile everyday model, the medium size like Velvet or Muse is the safest bet. If you want it for travel or the beach, go for a large size. For events or guests, more contained models like Nacre fit better.
