Artisan Carlos produces buttons exclusively for us from three different palm seeds. Here from the tagua nut, which is also called "plant ivory" due to its hardness.
Tagua buttons have a long tradition in Europe. They were already used in the 19th century. However, with the invention of plastic, they quickly lost importance. Today, they are fortunately being rediscovered with the desire for a sustainable, plastic-free life. Production from the nut of the tagua palm makes an important contribution to protecting the rainforests and is a welcome source of income for many artisans in the Amazon.
