Made by: Wichi communities in Argentina Fibre: Chaguar fibre Dimensions: 20cm high x 15cm at the widest point, Base 9cm Naturally dyed with plant-based extracts One-of-a-kind This handwoven vase was made with the plant fibre chaguar, a type of bromeliad that grows in South America. It's a resistant and durable fibre. To obtain this material, Wichi women first travel into the forest in small groups to harvest the chaguar; they then separate its fibres by hand and weave. All the pieces in this collection are woven entirely by hand without the use of a wire frame or mould. This freeform approach adds to the character and uniqueness of each piece. It also means your vase may arrive with a minor variation in shape, or with a slight lean or curve that can be adjusted with a gentle hand to stand upright. All our chaguar vases have come from a remote area in Argentina, which is the semi-arid Chaco region, and are handcrafted traditionally. By owning one of these pieces, not only do you get the chance to appreciate the effort, story, and culture behind it, but you also support these communities and purchase a sustainable product.
