The Craft Story
These Iraca Palm ‘Luxe’ Mini Monsters are handcrafted in Sandoná, Nariño, Colombia by the Las Juanitas Single Mothers Association, a collective of highly skilled women artisans recognised for their intricate weaving and cultural knowledge.
Each piece begins with the harvesting of Iraca palm (Carludovica palmata), which is then naturally dyed and meticulously woven by hand into detailed, character-inspired forms. The artisans’ refined technique creates a smooth, sculptural finish that brings each playful design to life.
This entirely manual process results in subtle variations in shape, colour and texture — a signature of true craftsmanship that cannot be replicated at scale. Every Mini Monster carries the story, heritage and skill of the woman who created it.
