This fascinating holiday ornament is an actual Ceranchia wild silk cocoon. Ceranchia is a species of wild silk which is only found in Madagascar. It has a unique inner and outer cocoon, which make this natural wonder a beautiful conversation piece. The inner cocoon is dyed a cherry red, and the outer cocoon is its natural undyed color.

Our farmers use a sustainable harvesting technique when collecting wild silk cocoons so as not to harm the local silkworm population. In fact, every purchase promotes conservation efforts for this endemic species.

This silk ornament makes a perfect holiday decoration. It comes in a lovely kraft box for easy gifting, and includes a tag telling the story of the silk.

Hand-crafted in the rainforests of Madagascar, Tanana brings people, nature, and design together. We transform sustainably harvested silk cocoons and raffia fiber into extraordinary products for the home.

Tanana offers hand-crafted home decor made from Madagascar wild silk cocoons & raffia. Originating from the rainforests of Madagascar, each textile is hand-crafted using sustainably sourced raw materials. For our silk pieces, wild silk cocoons are hand-gathered, steamed flat, sewn together, and hand-dyed. For our raffia pieces, the natural fiber is hand-woven on floor looms, sewn together, and hand-dyed.

Our artisan and farmer partners earn a fair wage and use sustainable farming and harvesting practices to preserve their surrounding rainforest, protecting it from deforestation. We transform renewable resources into beautiful and utterly unique products for your home or your art practice.
