They use their talents to transform the banana fiber into new, eco-friendly art forms. First, the banana fiber is dried, and then a light varnish is applied. The varnish on the banana fiber, with its many shades of brown, resembles textured tortoise shell. Once the process is complete, the artisans cut the fiber into strips to make one-of-a-kind goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esther Karioki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48443107279093,"sku":"KNFREIND","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/2014\/2921\/files\/1255634.jpg?v=1784370775","url":"https:\/\/www.globalcraftsb2b.com\/products\/handcrafted-banana-fiber-reindeer-decor","provider":"Global Crafts Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
