Born from a vision to bring the tropical joy of raffia beach bags to everyday-to-day city life, JELYNNE creates and curates chic travel companions made from natural materials.
Each raffia piece is handcrafted in women-run ateliers in Madagascar and finished with great attention to detail in New York City.
We guarantee you will feel the love and care put into making your raffia bag, and in turn, love it as much as you would a family heirloom.
Our Story
Founder Jelynne Tirona Jardiniano Morse is a Filipino-American entrepreneur, social impact designer, and researcher based in New York City. In 2012, Jelynne went on a year-long hiatus from work to care for horses in France and to reconnect with her ancestral home in the Philippines.
Jelynne had a treasured travel companion throughout her journey abroad, a delicate straw hat, which she found on a separate trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Upon her return to New York City, the hat was in ruin, and she sought ways to fix it. It was then that Jelynne decided she would recreate the hat, and that was the spark that began her namesake brand.
