In Natural & Tierra.

By Madre's "Small Clarita Zig-Zag Canasta (Basket) Bag" is a hand-woven & lacquered palm basket, made out of a traditional weaving technique called cesteria. The style is named after one of the Founder's aunt, Maria Clara and comes in a mix of the palm's natural color and By Madre's color Tierra. In this technique, the palm is first hand-dyed and then woven.

The bag can be styled with or without the four accompanying color-matched monochromatic pompoms, removable for the wearer's choice of look. Wear year-round, from the wedding to the beach.

Made using a palm called "Iraca", native to Colombia, the technique is highly resistant and durable. All of By Madre's Cesteria  products are hand-made in by artisans that are part of the Wayuu tribe. This product is cultural denomination certified and made by collectives of women who pass down this tradition from generation to generation.

Purchasing this product allows these incredible artisans to continue to pass down and preserve this tradition for years to come.

Please note, like any hand-made luxury item, natural variances in color or texture of the palm are natural and to be expected. Slight color transfer shouldn't, but may occur. This is a sign of an authentic artisanal object and should be celebrated.
