Morototo, plant material

Morototo (Didymopanax morototoni) is presented here dyed, to show how this plant material can be transformed before being used in a handcrafted creation.

How to wear it

Each seed in this necklace is meticulously hand-harvested in the Amazon rainforest, capturing the natural richness and ancestral tradition of this region.

The latex is traditionally collected by hand from rubber trees in the Tapajos National Forest and processed in the community's workshops.

Paired with jeans and a simple t-shirt, it enhances the outfit with a subtle ethnic touch.

For a bolder effect, it can be doubled for a voluminous choker style, creating an interesting contrast with more structured outfits.
