On the Pacific Coast of Colombia, indigenous people from the Wounaan community work with CasaLatina to weave accessories from Werregue palm fibres. The Lineas basket, characterised by a two-tone colour palette, is a prime example of their masterful craftsmanship, rich heritage and cultural importance. Originally crafted with texture so solid and compact baskets like this one were used to carry water. The skills have been passed down through generations; now each piece is woven by an individual artisan over a period of several months. Suitable for decoration or dried flowers, please note this design is not water-tight.

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.
