Tanora

Meaning ‘youth’, Tanora is an Australian-Malagasy brand rooted in the ancestral handicraft of Madagascar’s weavers, devoting its work to the preservation of both the artisan craft and a deep respect for the earth. Tanora utilises raffia, a renewable fibre harvested through careful hand-pruning that protects the life of the palm. Then sun-dried and tinted with eco-friendly pigments like tea and turmeric, a process that requires only a fraction of the water used in conventional textiles.

Tanora focuses on empowering the women and men who form the heart of the weaving community. Each item takes days of meticulous work to complete, and secure fair working conditions and payments are ensured. Tanora serves as a living testament to the beauty of slow fashion, marrying the integrity of the land with a respectful, community-driven legacy.
