Our Products

Several of our products are wooden or feature wood parts.  Depending on the item, it could be FSA-certified pine, Asian bamboo, or alpine bamboo.  Typically, these varieties are sturdy and have beautiful grain lines.

Each of our baskets use sustainable seagrass and are crafted by hand in Vietnam.  Known for its durability and flexibility, natural seagrass can change color over time, from a green tone to the yellow most of us are use to seeing.

Paper mache, or more properly "papier-mache," is a composite material consisting of recycled paper 

pieces, sometimes reinforced with textiles, and bound with an adhesive, such as glue, starch, or wallpaper paste.

Seaglass is naturally weathered glass found on beaches along bodies of salt water.  The salt weathering process produces a natural frost coating and smoothed edges to the outside of each piece; this can take anywhere from 20-200 years.  The seaglass used in our bead strands comes from Ghana.

Bogolan, or "mud cloth," is a handmade Malian cotton fabric, traditionally dyed with fermented mud, applied by hand while threads are woven or spun.  It has an important place in traditional Malian culture and has, more recently, become a symbol of Malian cultural identity.  The cloth is exported worldwide for use in fashion, fine art and decoration.

Organic cotton is non-genetically modified cotton grown in subtropical countries, such as India, Turkey, China, and parts of the USA, without the use of synthetic agricultural chemicals.  Its production promotes biodiversity and natural biological cycles.
