Description from CB2
braid in the shade. Reflecting a vibrant spirit and culture, this handmade tropical palm pendant is braided, dyed and sewn by a community of skilled artisans living in a remote area of Southern Mexico where native palms grow in abundance. In a time-intensive process, grassy palm is first cut, boiled and dried in the sun to achieve the perfect texture. Artisans then carefully braid the fibers by hand and dye them into rich, saturated colors using centuries-old techniques passed down from generation to generation. Sewn into an organic pyramid of dramatic scale, each unique shade is striped with bold bands of black, red, aqua and natural. From harvest through production, our collaboration on this initiative provides a steady source of income to artisans and their families.
