Mirei Monticelli Sample Book

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.
