Handmade by women in Tunisia, these Halfa (or esparto grass) serving trays are a fiber that is produced from perennial grasses which grow in the semi-arid central region of Tunisia. It is hand picked in early Summer and sometimes dyed with natural pigments. The Halfa sprigs go thru a soaking process prior to being woven following techniques that have been done for generations. Fair trade is vital for Halfah artisans, as its their only income resource.
Quite sturdy and beautifully made, traditional but with a clean contemporary look, very versatile trays.

We are conscious of not using plastic in packaging for shipping and have made an effort to use cardboard packaging and environmentally friendly products such as Geami WrapPak which is a sustainable alternative to bubble wrap, plus natural sisal lashing (compostable) and pop starch biodegradable void fill which is also 100% compostable and biodegradable.
