Story Behind
This product is made from the fiber of Caroá, a native plant of the Brazilian caatinga, and its production provides income for families in the Baiano semi-arid region.
The fiber is woven by women in their homes and in local artisan associations.
The traditional craft technique of Caroá, which involves the extraction of the plant, collection, drying, and weaving of its fiber, has been passed down through generations and carries the culture of the families in the region.
The fiber of the resilient Caroá, a species of bromeliad, allows for the production of beautiful baskets, hats, and cachepots! Unique and exclusive!
