Sisal & Banana Fiber Angel Set – set of 2

The fair trade company, Global Crafts, works with women in the villages in Kenya helping them become educated and trained on the handmade craft of recycling dried fiber of banana plants, which would normally be discarded. They use their talents to transform the banana fiber into new, eco-friendly art forms. First, the banana fiber is dried, and then a light varnish is applied. Once the process is complete, the artisans cut the fiber into strips to make one-of-a-kind goods.
