Smooth, flat bands of raffia wrap round and round each other to form HM20, giving the ball a layered, ribbon-like look. Unlike vine balls, the strips are soft and matte with no woody nodes, and they overlap in broad crossing bands with only small openings between them.
The colour is a soft peach-beige, warm but light, and the image shows a group of handmade balls with slightly different wrapping patterns. Some are more tightly closed, others show a few loose inner strips through the gaps, which keeps a display looking natural rather than machine-made.
Raffia balls bring a gentle, tactile texture to Scandinavian, coastal and boho interiors, and their warm tone pairs well with blush, terracotta and cream schemes. They are popular in bowls and baskets, glass vases and lanterns, as scatter on wedding and event tables, and in gift hampers. Craft makers also use them as a base for seasonal decoration.
Floral Mongers supplies Slim Raffia Balls in counted packs for importers, décor brands and wholesalers.

Natural variation
As each ball is wrapped by hand, band layout, tightness and roundness differ between pieces, and the raffia can vary slightly from pale beige to warmer peach. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry and away from humidity
- Avoid direct sunlight to limit fading
- Dust with a soft, dry brush
- Store in a carton without heavy items on top
