Tabito’s concept is based on upcycling which is the process of converting material or objects that have lost their use into better quality and value once. Another part is based on the essence of design in the sense that an object, a piece of jewelry does not only have to be beautiful but have to fulfill a certain functionality. Functionalities that you can find in our jewelry such as containing, magnifying, writing and many more. Travel is an import part of our concept too, hence our name tabito.
