The Story of the Fairtrade Folded Cone Mint-Gold-White

The Fairtrade Folded Cone in mint, gold and white brings a fresh and elegant sparkle to your Christmas decorations. Each cone is handmade in Bangladesh from paper created out of water hyacinths—plants that invade local waterways and cause ecological problems. By turning these fast-growing plants into paper, artisans help clear the rivers while giving the material a new and meaningful purpose.

Every cone is folded by hand from this special paper, a process that requires patience, skill and dedication. The women who create them work under Fairtrade conditions, receiving fair wages and steady opportunities for their families. What begins as an unwanted plant becomes a delicate ornament that celebrates both craftsmanship and sustainability.

Packed per set of three in a lovely pouch, these cones are perfect for hanging in the tree, styling on a branch, or adding a subtle festive touch to your table. The soft mint colour combined with shimmering gold and white feels both modern and timeless, making it a beautiful addition to your Christmas home.

If you love a stronger, more classic palette, you’ll also find these cones in a striking black-gold-white version in our collection.

By welcoming the mint-gold-white cones into your home, you’re not just decorating for Christmas—you’re also supporting fair trade, sustainability and the creativity of Bangladeshi artisans.
