What the heck is a Binth? A derivative of Terebinth?
“a Mediterranean tree, Pistacia terebinthus, of the cashew family, yielding Chian Turpentine."
HUH? Actually, they just made it up.
I love the fact that all of their screen print designs are created based on collaborative efforts, there is no 1 person responsible for 1 design. Community and the environment is their priority, from in-house, to outsourced suppliers, Binth makes every effort to work with family-owned businesses run by traditional craftsmen that share their passion for detail and quality. Helping the environment along the way always helps as well.
All of their colours are mixed by hand using only water-based inks (wow!), and all their paper stock is of course recycled. This is so important people!!!!! We must all make more of an effort to recycle!
