Morototo, a plant material

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

How to wear it

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

The latex is traditionally hand-collected 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 choker style with volume, creating an interesting contrast with more structured outfits.
