At Belart, in their solar-powered workshop, artisans transform these palm fibers using ancestral techniques - harvesting, carding, and naturally dyeing with seeds, leaves, and minerals. The fibers are carefully wood-fired, dyed, and shade-dried before skilled weavers create these timeless pieces. They are thoughtfully handcrafted by master artisans, combining sustainable and natural materials like Tagua seeds, Iraca-Toquilla palm fiber, upcycled wood, clay, and upcycled horn with eco-conscious metals and resins. By preserving traditional techniques, providing fair, long-term employment, and development opportunities, Belart supports artisan communities while creating unique, safe pieces that are free of lead, nickel, and cadmium.

Belart is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation, Green America, MSA-Museum Store Association, and NEST.
