Beautyleaf/tamanu
Calophyllum inopyhlllum is known by a number of names including tamanu, oil-nut, mastwood and beautyleaf. It occurs around much of the Pacific, parts of Africa, China, India, Malaya, the Phillipines and beyond. In Australia, it is most at home in Queensland but grows across much of the Top End.
The trees have beautiful delicate yellow and white flowers and grow to massive sizes. Because of this, they provided excellent shipbuilding materials in Polynesia for traditional outrigger ships. The wood, in some instances considered sacred, has also been used for carving religious objects. The oil, extracted from the fruit of the plant has been used in traditional medicine and also as a fuel, The flowers, fruit and leaves are sometimes used as poison. In Samoa, the sap of the tree is used to tip poison arrows.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our bags and purses is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
