Why do we use it?

Using banana trees as a fabric source to make textiles declined as other fibers such as cotton and silk became increasingly popular. Now banana fiber is making a comeback in the fashion industry. Recently banana fiber has been making a comeback in numerous industries. The use appears worldwide for multiple products, ranging from tea bags to car tires to saris and Japanese yen notes.

Where is made from?

The origin comes from the stem of the banana tree and is incredibly durable. Banana plants are cultivated in Southeast Asia within a natural ecosystem of sustainable forestry. The plant requires no chemical treatments.

Its self-sufficiency has made it an essential contributor to the reforestation of areas once eroded by Palm plantations while enhancing local farmers' prosperity.

Our source of supply is China-based, and therefore all materials are traceable and duly certified.

At Rivta, this is how we transform the banana plants into our new bags:
