The Craft Story 

This Iraca Palm ‘Luxe’ Nina Handbag is handcrafted in Sandoná, Nariño, Colombia by the Las Juanitas Single Mothers Association, a collective of highly skilled women artisans renowned for their refined weaving and cultural knowledge.

Each piece begins with the harvesting of Iraca palm (Carludovica palmata), which is naturally dyed and meticulously woven by hand into structured, sculptural forms. This traditional technique has been practised for generations, blending ancestral craftsmanship with contemporary design.

The entirely manual process ensures that no two handbags are identical. Each piece reflects the artisan’s skill, heritage and dedication to preserving cultural traditions.
