Pacifica

The Pacifica collection is a tribute to the ancestral cultures of the Pacific basin, which with their rich tradition of body ornamentation and sophisticated hairstyles have maintained the use and manufacture of combs in different techniques and materials. The sophisticated shape of these combs, the different thicknesses and lengths of their teeth respond to their function: to generate sophisticated looks for rites and celebrations. They are entirely handmade, and small manual presses are used to stretch or laminate the horn. The smooth and soft texture is achieved by careful polishing.
