Medium Sinú Basket

Product story This basket was made by artisans from the Eperaara Siapidaara community, originally from Cauca (western Colombia). The art of weaving with straw, a fiber of Colombian origin, is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation and it is mainly women who practice this craft. The men, for their part, are responsible for cultivating and collecting the raw material for the manufacture of handicrafts. Each of these pieces is woven and dyed by hand, which is why production can take several weeks. The weavings of the Eperaara Siapidaara contain shapes and symbols typical of their culture and which represent their vision of the world. The patterns drawn in their creations tell stories of the community and express the ideas and thoughts of its artisans. Fill your home with history and bohemian elegance with these unique pieces.
