The Banana Leaf Travel Kit has been designed as an organic approach to travel accessories that will provide users with a natural way to maintain comfort when spending time on the road. Designed by Aishwarya Nair for the Studio Tjeerd Veenhoven, the various accessories are crafted from Softened Banana Leaf, which is completely natural and inherently comfortable. The material is, as the name suggests, made from banana leaves that have been minimally processed before being transformed into an eye mask, face mask and earmuffs.
The Banana Leaf Travel Kit also includes water hyacinth and corn silk materials for enhanced comfort without changing the biodegradable profile of the accessories. After being used for extended periods, the various items in the travel kit can be returned to nature instead of thrown away for enhanced sustainability.
