Company Description

Although we are also based in the Netherlands we are a comany mainly focused on coconut products from Brazil. The products consist of polished parts from coconut. Local Brazilians turn in these coconuts to beautiful products. Since we started working in Brazil in 1999 a lot has changed. It is becoming a social project now. To say it simple, leave the tree, cut the coconut. All products are Amazon friendly and bring work and food there was needed. Only telling them not to destroy the Amazon does not help, because they depend on the Amazon in every way in their daily life. We show them how to use the Amazon in a good way, and make a living as well. Brazilian government likes our work and plans so much, that they started to give more than the useful help. At this moment a factory is being build by them together with a (work) shop that will expose our work and will function as a school for artists. More needed jobs will be created by this project in the near future. One of our targets is to turn the suburbs into a place with more opportunities. Product information: Most products are own design, all products are made by hand. Our pride of the collection for example is a shoulder bag that needs almost 10.000 handlings before it is completely finished. Because this bag is art or comes close to art, it is only available in limited numbers. Unfortunate only one out of five people getting in to the project succeeds to stay in the process, because the style of working is very difficult. Since we started a school for artist it will be a matter of time before we can produce more.
