成立於2003年的花蓮縣噶瑪蘭族發展協會以香蕉絲編織工藝做為整體文化傳承媒介，2005年在豐濱鄉新社部落設立「新社香蕉絲工坊」，推廣臺灣獨一無二的香蕉絲編織技藝，並於2015年登錄為花蓮縣文化資產傳統藝術類，更於2018年11月27日正式獲得原住民族傳統智慧專用權。

噶瑪蘭族人在栽種的香蕉苗成熟後，先以手沾取米酒灑到地面，進行basebaw儀式，與祖靈分享並祈求保佑，之後由女性負責繁瑣的編織工序，並用福木、檳榔子、藍染、薯榔染色，使織品色彩多樣化，最後以老竹製成的水平式腰帶織布機進行編織；這項獨特的技藝除了是部落的精神載體，也是族人的生活用品與帶動部落經濟的商品。工坊將文化的概念融入各類的產品設計，同時開創香蕉絲編織DIY體驗，也藉由深入的部落導覽解說，讓旅客看見獨特自然景觀及噶瑪蘭族在地文化，讓部落得以永續經營。

The Hualien County Kavalan Development Association was established in 2003, focusing on banana fiber weaving as a means of cultural preservation. In 2005, they opened the “Lala Ban Xinshe Banana Fiber Workshop” in the Xinshe tribe of Fengbin Township to promote this unique Taiwanese craft. By 2015, the workshop was recognized as a traditional art form in Hualien County, and on November 27, 2018, it officially received exclusive rights for indigenous traditional knowledge.

When the banana plants are ready for harvest, Kavalan men perform the Basbaw ceremony, sprinkling rice wine on the ground to share with their ancestors and seek blessings. Women then take on the intricate task of preparing the fibers, dyeing them with colors from local woods and betel nuts. Finally, they weave the fibers using traditional horizontal looms made from old bamboo. This unique craft not only serves as a spiritual expression for the tribe but also provides essential goods and boosts the local economy. The workshop integrates cultural concepts into various product designs and offers DIY experiences in banana fiber weaving. Through guided tours, visitors can explore the stunning natural landscapes and the rich local culture of the Kavalan people, ensuring the sustainability of the community.
