- Description
Handmade in the same tradition as basket coiling, the craft behind each piece is one that has been passed down through multiple generations from mother to daughter. The fibers are harvested from local raffia palm trees, sun-dried, and then dyed using organic materials. They are then wrapped around long strips of banana leaf stems, and woven to create these exquisite pieces. Alongside caring for their families and farms, women weave in small groups, building community and mastering their trade.
About St. Frank: St. Frank is a globally-inspired brand dubbed the “bohemian home-décor Mecca” by Vogue. Their products, including their signature framed textiles, are ethically made by artisans around the world working in traditional crafts. Each piece comes with a rich history to share.
