Production Process
Each Thamon piece begins with carefully sourced natural leaves, handpicked by local farming communities to ensure top quality. By repurposing these leaves, we not only minimize waste but also support sustainable practices and provide fair income opportunities to our partnering communities.
Processing: The collected leaves go through a gentle, non-toxic treatment to enhance flexibility and durability, allowing each piece to retain its natural texture and distinct color variations. This step ensures that every Thamon product showcases the unique, organic beauty of nature.
Crafting & Finishing: Once treated, the leaves are skillfully bonded to a fabric base to create Thamon Leaftex, resulting in a resilient, water-resistant material. This careful process preserves the leaf’s natural textures and colors, highlighting Thamon’s commitment to cruelty-free, sustainable materials. Each accessory embodies durability and thoughtful design, bringing together sustainability and craftsmanship.
