Beautiful coconut belt, created for Mayamiko by women empowerment partner workshop Amma in Sri Lanka.
We’ve combined the beautiful handwoven fabric with a stunningly crafted hand-carved coconut shell belt buckle. The belt buckle is made by one of the AMMA’s fathers close to the workshop. A beautiful Sri Lankan gift for a friend or personal treasure for yourself. Modern Sri Lankan aesthetic made using traditional production techniques. Comes with handwoven gift pouch.
The Delicate Blue shade is dyed with indigo leaves, each belt varies slighlty in shade.
This product is also available in dusky pink or nelli grey. There is also matching jewellery available.
Based in the highlands of Sri Lanka where a team of mother makers harness the power of food waste, fallen leaves and ayurvedic plants to make natural colour to yarn dye these stunning scarves.
One size. Belts are fully adjustable. Due to our zero waste approach belt lengths do vary, but always allow for waists up to 93cm. Belt width is between 6.5cm and 7.5cm.
Handwoven, naturally dyed cotton body and coconut shell buckle. Due to the handmade nature of this product variations in the colour and material should be expected. Colour will adapt and change over time in different environments
Wipe the coconut buckle with a damp cloth, do not immerse into water. Hand wash fabric in cool water with an eco washing soap. Don’t use stain remover or harsh chemicals. Dry flat and store out of direct sunlight to preserve the colour.
Mayamiko has partnered with AMMA for these unique, limited edition products. Amma trains and employs mothers living in the Sri Lankan highlands to turn food waste and plants into natural dyes. Sustainable textiles, ethically handmade.
They create beautiful plant dyed textiles, encouraging consumers to 'open their eyes' to this ancient art and become aware of the negative impact that the fashion and textile industry has on our world.
Products are made in a rural workshop, using handwoven cotton and 100% plant dyes using food waste such as avocado stones and pomegranate skins from hotels and restaurants along with foraging for fallen leaves and sourcing medicinal plants to produce our dyes.
Everything evolves around the dyes, this is why things take time. Small batch production means every piece is one of a kind
The mothers employed by the project come from the tea estates that surround the workshop. They are from low income backgrounds and are now principle contributors to the household finances. We could not be prouder of this, as they become role models within their communities.
Naturally-dyed fabrics need to be cared for differently to synthetically-dyed fabrics. All dyes eventually fade over time including synthetic ones! Natural dyes will alter and change in shade and tone over a period of time. Wipe the coconut buckle with a damp cloth, do not immerse into water. To preserve the life cycle of your fabric we recommend hand washing in cold water or below 30C using an eco washing soap (chemical based soaps may alter the colour) on a hand wash machine cycle. Don’t use stain remover or harsh chemicals. Dry flat and store out of direct sunlight to preserve the colour.
