Their creations are not only eco-friendly products but also a reflection of the flora, fauna and breathtaking landscapes of the region. Salvadoran artisans expertly carve coconut shells to create this practical soap dish, featuring a modern design with three drainage holes and a pinewood base, perfect for securely holding your soap bars in place while adding an organic touch to your bathroom.

This unique home accent is from Ruth Guevara in Costa Rica, who was inspired by the myriad purposes of the jicaro or calabash gourd in ancient times. Indigenous peoples would use the gourds in their daily lives as utensils, containers and even musical instruments. Guevara carves the dried gourd by hand, and then accents it with jute twine that is stitched through small holes in the gourd.
