Mango Mango Salad Set

Why We Love It

The Mango tree bears fruit for about 40 years, and is then cut down by farmers to make room for new seedlings. Local artisans use the wood of these felled trees to carve one-of-a-kind pieces. Mango wood has a diverse range of color in its grains, revealed best by the type of carving and cut strokes used in making bowls. The sale of these exceptional pieces supports the local economy and sustainable production of the Mango fruit.

Ethically Produced

Products made outside the US that have been handpicked from companies that employ fair wage and labor practices, as well as small-scale sustainable production methods. Profits from the sale of these products directly benefit the local artisanal communities where goods are made.

Handmade

Made or prepared by hand rather than by machine. Industrial manufacturing is a significant contributor to global warming and other pollution. The sale of handmade goods supports small-scale, independent artists and crafters who generally operate more sustainably than big businesses. Handmade items are skillfully crafted with detail, each one slightly varied.

Natural Material

Any material that comes from plants, animals, or minerals and is used without significant modification or processing. Natural materials include biotic materials, such as wood and natural fibers, and inorganic materials including stone, metal, and clay.
