Puerto Plata's only Raffia Bag Experience!
Explore the history of the traditional Raffia bags, craft your own and take it home as the most amazing souvenir. Perfect for anyone aged 5-99+.

The hosts were reviewed as a once-in-a-lifetime experience by more than 10,000 guests. Awarded Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice in 2021 & 2023. Featured by BuzzFeed, The New York Times, Washington Post & many more.

We will meet at our workshop filled with materials, tools and finished products. This is where you will become an insider on the whole process of crafting a fashion bag. You will find out the deepest secrets of this wonderful tradition.

Together with master artisans you will craft your own Raffia bag. Handpicking out of thousands of different combinations, you will chose the size of the bag, the colours, the words and the handles. You can even stitch your own name on it!

At the end, when trying on your own creation, you will feel like a true artisan. You'll get a wearable memory of Puerto Plata (one that it is hardly available to visitors) and a really cool storey to tell. Are you ready?
