We use Fair Trade, eco-friendly paper wrap made by artisans from many places around the world. At this time, we are using some beautiful papers made by the Biborton Handmade Paper Project in Bangladesh.

The Biborton Handmade Paper Project makes paper out of water hyacinth pulp. This invasive plant is not native to the country and now destructively clogs waterways and ponds. Making paper from the water hyacinth is a creative response to a difficult environmental problem. The paper also has embedded dried leaves and flowers and comes in a variety of colors. Many impoverished families in this area are eager for employment. Most of the 70 women now employed gather at the production centre to make paper or create paper products, but a few women still make paper at home. Purchase of this item supports the women Artisans.
