About the fibre
The twisted abaca weft and its silk warps are meticulously hand-woven on a traditional loom. Abaca is the king of sustainable development. Its cultivation improves the soil’s water retention capacity and prevents flooding and landslides. Abaca waste is used as organic fertilizer for crops. Moreover, there is no deforestation. The banana trees are not pulled up. The trunks are cut forty centimeters from the ground and the plants grow back in two years. Trees are scattered throughout nature and are not planted according to intensive production methods.
HANGING GARDEN
Abaca, bamboo, wool, silk and even reed contrast their natural beauty in hand weavings with great skill on traditional looms. In this distant land, paper also joins up with cotton. With its diverse effects, textures and fibers, an authentic botanical style flows through the collection.
