eco — tagua

If you’ve never heard of Tagua, you’re in for a treat. Often called vegetable ivory, this remarkable material comes straight from nature — from the seeds of a palm tree that grows in parts of South America. At first glance, Tagua looks like a hard, off-white nut (which it is!), but once it’s polished and shaped, it has the most beautiful smooth texture and gentle sheen, a bit like real ivory — only completely cruelty-free. That’s one of the reasons I love working with it. It’s sustainable, eco-friendly, and every piece feels like a little celebration of nature’s creativity.  ...
