Agave sisalana is a succulent plant native to Mexico. It can reach up to 20 meters in height and its varieties are beautiful. After all, the origin of its name confirms this: the name derives from the Greek “agaué” which means splendid,and from Sisal, a port city in the Yucatan from where the fiber extracted from its leaves was originally exported. The Sisal fiber is indeed obtained from its leaves, a rigid fiber used for rope, twine, paper, fabric, and other objects. It was used by both the Aztecs and the Maya to make raw textiles and paper.

After each use, rinse the small bag with clean water and hang it to dry completely before the next use. Do not store the wet bag in closed spaces, as it may develop mold. Replace the bag when the fibers appear very worn, frayed, or when the fabric breaks. Do not use bleach
