These delightful woven animals come from Chimore, Bolivia, an area the size of Connecticut and a prime coca growing region. Jipijapa (pronounced "hippy hoppa") is a renewable, wild palm typically found in the humid, tropical zones in Latin America. Its long-stalked, fanlike leaves are perfect for making handicrafts. Jipijapa plants were also used to make the famous "Panama hats" worn on the set of Casablanca.

Crafting Jipijapa ornaments provides an economic alternative to coca production. Artetropic, an artisan group supporting this project, provides work for hundreds of Bolivian women who earn, on average, less than half that of the men.
