Our products are artfully crafted, unique pieces. Due to the handmade production process and natural variations in the materials, they may vary slightly in size, color, and shape.
The sustainable main material: banana fiber
Banana fiber is a natural, untreated plant fiber with a wonderfully natural feel. This abundant, renewable raw material comes from banana trees, which are widespread in Indonesia. Its fibrous bark detaches from the trunk as it grows, is then collected and sun-dried for about a week, naturally producing its rich brown color. The individual strips are then rolled into strands, approximately 6 mm thick, which are woven into traditional basketry by our production partners in Java.
The production process: From raw material to finished basket
For our Rinjani baskets, skilled artisans working with our production partners in Central Java, Indonesia, meticulously handweave strands of banana fiber around a custom-made wooden frame that defines the basket's precise shape and size. Using traditional weaving techniques, they skillfully and lovingly create the decorative pattern. Each basket takes approximately one to two hours to make—a testament to the craftsmanship and care that goes into every piece.
Our production partners: Selected according to fair trade criteria
When selecting our local production partners, we prioritize fair wages, safe working conditions, and reasonable working hours. We work exclusively with small, family-run businesses with a maximum of 20 to 30 employees. They are all experienced artisans of legal age. In particular, older people who can no longer work in agriculture benefit from jobs in handicrafts, allowing them to use the skills they learned in their youth to earn a living and pass on traditional production methods to the younger generation. They have often told us how happy they are to create something meaningful and earn a living through this work. Because all steps are carried out by hand, the production process generates virtually no greenhouse gas emissions. We ensure all of this through regular on-site visits and ongoing personal contact with the businesses.
