Kuripe Bamboo and Cord
This handmade bamboo kuripe is a functional and minimalist tool for the self-application of Rapé, the sacred Amazonian snuff. Crafted from natural bamboo, it features a waxed brown orange cord wrapped securely around the angled junction, with the string extending around the shorter side to form a wearable loop. This simple and thoughtful construction keeps the kuripe close at hand while offering a snug and comfortable fit for most facial structures.
The kuripe’s precise angles are carefully shaped to deliver the powder from the hand to the nostrils in one smooth motion, aligning breath, focus and intention. Bamboo is the ideal material for this purpose, being lightweight, sustainable and naturally antimicrobial. It offers both durability and a clean energetic quality. True craftsmanship lies in the detail: smooth edges, consistent airflow and proper geometry.
Each piece may vary slightly due to its handmade nature, giving every kuripe its own character and unique finish.
