Mirei uses fibers of the banana-abaca plant to make the fabric that comprise her works, cultivated sustainably by farmers on a remote island in the Philippines. This fabric is not only remarkably durable and malleable; it carries with it a legacy of land, labor, and cultural continuity.
When the plants reach maturity, local farmers harvest the trunks by hand, extract the fibers, and bring them to their communities. There, skilled weavers—using time-honored techniques passed down through generations—transform the raw strands into a beautifully tactile fabric.
Standard samples are Natural, Cream, Silver and Honey.
