nuestra historia

Since 2017, we’ve dedicated ourselves to creating handcrafted art that celebrates our community, culture, and heritage.

Rooted in the vibrant Wayuu community, nestled between Colombia and Venezuela near the Caribbean Sea, our Wayuu artisans bring to life pieces that carry the stories of their ancestors, and themselves.

At our atelier, we specialize in weaving textiles for a variety of unique objects, including our traditional Wayuu mochila bag as our key piece, canastas, hats, baskets, and all kind of our typical accessories using an ancient technique passed down through generations, dating back to the pre-Columbian era.

Every piece we create is meticulously handcrafted using raw materials sourced exclusively from Venezuela, ensuring each item is a true reflection of authenticity and unparalleled quality.

Our creations honor the traditions of our past while embracing the present moment, making each piece a timeless gift. Moreover, our work not only preserves these traditions but also improves the artisans' living conditions, offering them the opportunity to secure formal employment and lead a sustainable lifestyle.

We proudly tell the story of hecho en Venezuela.

Hecho en Venezuela

This is our life project: to showcase Venezuela and the incredible potential it holds.

We aim to share our traditions, vibrant colors, deep emotions, and unique forms with the world. Our aspiration is to collaborate with kind spirits who appreciate beauty, culture, and soul.

Together, we can preserve the art of craftsmanship, honor our roots and traditions, and continue supporting the Wayuu community by providing sustainable, formal employment.
