OUR MATERIALS

THE FIQUE

The natural fique of the tropics is a plant with a hard fiber. Its leaves are long and fleshy green and measure between 2 and 7 meters high. Therefore, the fiber preparation process is long and manual.

THE IRACA PALM

The iraca palm, also known as toquilla or palmiche, is a Latin American plant that grows in temperate climates, cool shaded areas, and along rivers and streams. To obtain the best quality of this natural fiber, the plant must have strict care during its growth period which lasts approximately 3 years until it is ready to be processed.
