Cane Boutique as their name

suggests specialises in cane

and wicker furniture, which is

the most sustainable material

derived from bamboo found

in limited locations. This plant

grows three times faster than

wood and requires minimum

water. They use the raw

material to replace wood in

many pieces, which helps to

preserve the forests. Cane is

a long lasting and and strong

material, but because it’s made

of natural fibres they degrade

well when discarded, saving

space in our landfills.
