Our banana fiber products literally come from nature. Handmade by local women in South India to provide better income opportunities, while also respecting the natural ecology of the region. The fiber used for crocheting this product is locally available and it's made out of the "dead" leaves of the banana trees. These leaves, previously considered as waste, are now getting a new life in the form of contemporary and sustainable design innovation.The banana leaves are spliced by hand to extract fiber strips followed by twining to make different thickness ropes which are then hand crochet and woven to make these eco-friendly storage baskets.Products are handmade and each piece is unique therefore any slight imperfection is an individual expression of that artisan's perfect handy work.
