It Begins with a Seed
Every V V Worthy piece starts life as a tagua nut—the seed of a palm that grows wild across the rainforests of South America. Once the fruit ripens and falls, the seeds are gathered by hand and left to dry, hardening over months into a material with the warmth, weight, and creamy tone of ivory. It has earned the name vegetable ivory: a beautiful, plant-based alternative that asks nothing of any animal.
Our business journey followed a very similar path. It started as a tiny seed of an idea back in 2021, after COVID which was planted alongside my wonderful mum. Mum, made me fall in love with the beauty and sustainability of tagua, launching our Gift shop in Tenterden, Kent.
