The Alicia range is a meeting of minds and methods – it falls under the Sandoná collection, which is named after the mountainous town in southern Colombia. While the base of these placemats is made from natural iraca palm in a Panama weave by talented weavers in Nariño, the beaded border is handcrafted by indigenous women of the Emberá tribe from Risaralda. The inspiration for this beautiful detail, known as the Chaquira weave, stems from a necklace the founder bought on a Colombian street market.

Meet the Maker:

CasaLatina

At the core of CasaLatina is a desire to showcase the beauty and brilliance of Latin American craft. The founders, lifelong friends Sharon and Aleja, work directly with more than 60 artisans from nine communities across Colombia and Venezuela – the countries they grew up in. Their collections take you on an artisanal journey through these corners of the world, uncovering the magical makers, minds and methods found there, be it a free-hand painter and potter from Ponedera, a master woodworker from Guadalupe or an indigenous weaver from Cauca. Every piece is made entirely by hand and speaks to the founders’ shared mission to preserve ancient artistry.
