The Craft Story 

These tote baskets are handcrafted in Sandoná, Nariño, Colombia, by the women of Las Juanitas Single Mothers Association — a community renowned for its mastery of Iraca palm weaving. Each fibre is carefully harvested, dried and handwoven into structured forms using techniques passed down through generations.

This process reflects deep cultural knowledge and precision craftsmanship, creating pieces that are both durable and beautifully organic. No two baskets are identical — each one carries the story of the artisan’s hands and heritage.

Product Care

• Avoid leaving in hot environments such as inside a car
• Keep dry and store away from prolonged direct sunlight
• Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth
• Care note: reshape softly if needed and avoid compression to maintain structure

Handcrafted Variation Note

Each piece is handcrafted individually, meaning slight variations in tone, texture and measurement (up to 20%) are a natural part of the process — and what makes your piece entirely your own. This is not considered a fault.
