The Craft Story 

These Iraca Lab Animalitos Napkin Rings are handcrafted in Colombia by the Las Juanitas Single Mothers Association, a collective of highly skilled women artisans known for their refined weaving and cultural knowledge.

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

The entirely manual process results in subtle variations in colour, shape and texture — a signature of true craftsmanship that cannot be replicated at scale. Each piece carries the story, heritage and creativity of the Artisan who made it.
