Vegetable
Ivory
|
Tagua,
is the hard dried inner layers of the coconut of the ivory palm
(Phytelephas aequatorialis). The first exports of tagua as vegetable
ivory began in 1865 with an export order to Germany. The Designers
found this material most practical to make very hard yet attractive
buttons for the highest-fashion clothes. Today, the fashion industry
has turned this material into trinkets and charms, brooches, toys,
figurines, chess pieces, cane handles and many other products.
Tagua,
is shipped all year round in the form of button blanks which are
sorted by size and bagged up in 45 to 80 kilograms and sent primarily
to the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and South Korea.
