Our craft materials include: rattan, sea grass, water hyacinth, pandan leaf, banana plant fiber, and bamboo. Woven by experienced, knowledgeable artisans, all of our crafting materials have appropriate tensile strengths.
All of the dyes, glues and finishes we use are entirely natural and non-toxic.
All of our vessels come with a 100% unbleached cotton liner, an unbleached cotton sheet, and a cotton pillow filled with kapok (ceiba tree silk).
