Rond de serviette Florencia (lot de 4)

Nestled in the coastal village of Usiacurí, Colombia, the skilled iraca weavers create intricate works of art using fibres from the iraca palm. Their handmade pieces showcase a blend of tradition and innovation, reflecting the community's deep cultural heritage. From baskets to accessories, each item tells a story, preserving rituals, legends, and beliefs that have been passed down through generations.

A distinctive element of the iraca weavers' craft in Usiacurí is the use of rigid metal frames, crafted by local blacksmiths. These frames are utilised as a foundation for the iraca palm fibres to be woven around, enabling the weavers to create intricate shapes and structures. This technique brings a level of precision and innovation to their artistry that sets it apart from other weaving techniques.
