Their love was opposed by the royal family. The prince eloped with the girl. They fled to a place covered in raffia plants and decided to hold their wedding there. With nothing, the prince wove raffia into a bracelet and a ring for the girl, making a wish that they would be united forever and one day return to their homeland. One day, the raffia ring broke. At that moment, two royal guards appeared before them. It turned out that the old king and queen, missing their son, had long forgiven them and sent people to bring them back to the palace. Thus, raffia is also known as "wish grass." wwwwwwww **|| How to Care for Your Raffia Hat ||** From growth and harvesting to sun-drying and weaving into a finished product, many hands and much effort go into each step of creating these raffia pieces.
