Vanilla Embroidery
Vanilla embroidery is a traditional craft unique to our region of Madagascar, used to create decorative figurines made from vanilla beans.Vanilla bean figurines can be used as displays in living rooms, hotel receptions and where various vanilla products are offered for sale, such as in gourmet boutiques and bakeries. The gentle, pleasant smell of natural vanilla will capture the senses of visitors.
The figures can be sold by themselves or as part of gift-wrapped vanilla bean bundles, among other natural vanilla products.
Typical models include:
- Pirate ship - 35x16x30cm - 940g
- Lemur - 28x13x11cm - 440g
- Pirogue small - 17x7x5cm - 140g
- Pirogue large - 24x8x4 - 80g
- Sand crab - 20x22x4cm - 240g
Additionally, we create custom-designed figurines. For example, a miniature basket made from vanilla beans can hold bundles of beans intended for baking purposes. Small figurines can also be used on top of cake decorations for special occasions.
The figurines are made entirely from Grade-A Gourmet beans. No additives or unnatural materials are used to hold the beans of the figurines together. Once the figurines have served their display purpose, and provided they haven't been on display and dried in the open too long, they can still be taken apart to be used in baking or cooking as an edible spice.
