When it’s peeled, it’s divided into the peel and the core. The skin peel is used for weaving of chair seats and bags.

Package contents: 500g or either 3mm or 4mm rattan core

NOTE: Because it grows naturally, the length of each piece is different. It’s usually about 1 to 3 meters. The products will be shipped randomly, so there’s no guarantee of a specific length.
