Introducing TANORA Artisan's Contest

 

2025 launches the inaugural TANORA Artisan's Contest or TAC, specially to promote the skills and talents of our Malagasy artisans. It is a privilege to work with skilled artisans who are making products to TANORA specifications, and from where we stand, if there are creative souls whose passion is designing, we would love to be able to spot them through this contest and provide an opportunity for them to work on the design team. Apart from that, it is also just a fun way of showcasing their skills and celebrating their talents.

 

 

Welcome to TAC: 

The participating artisans were each given 500 grams of A-grade natural TANORA Raffia. The rules were simple: over a two-week period, the participants were to design and hand-make a raffia accessory. No trims or add-ons, just the natural raffia.

 

 

The five chosen accessories will be given the TANORA seal of quality. Then, they will be auctioned, with all proceeds going directly to their makers.

 

 

The auction will be open on the website and in our Woollahra store for two weeks where the pieces will be displayed. We encourage you to bid for your favourite unique piece, whether in Sydney or anywhere else in the world. TANORA will cover worldwide shipping.
