Product Story

The Jonote Trivet can be functional or decorative. Use it as a base for serving warm or cold dishes! Or, hang a trio of them on the wall as decor. Jonote is a tree fiber that after harvesting is soaked in water to create flexibility. It is then braided and hand-stitched together to create different shapes. The artisans harvest the Jonote only during the full moon.

Made by Jonote Weavers in Cuetzalan, Mexico

A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo lead this group of women who weave Jonote baskets in Cuetzalan, Puebla. Their basketry is made using two different fibers: jonote and bejuco. Jonote is a tree fiber that is flexible and bejuco is bent to create the circular forms that the jonote is woven around.

About these artisans

The artisans only harvest with respect to the lunar cycle: jonote is harvested at the new moon and bejuco is harvested during the full moon.
