Bread basket to handbag?⠀
⠀
Yes! That's how the Panera straw bag was designed!⠀
Panera is the word used in Spanish for bread basket. ⠀
⠀
Mocana Tribe artisans were used to weaving an array of products for home and decorative items, not handbags or jewelry. So one day, we saw the bread baskets and thought of the possibility to put two together and add some kind of handle to make it a handbag, and that's how this style was born. ⠀
⠀
Hand in hand with the artisans, we are inspired by their creations, and using a lot of their own designs, techniques, and traditions, we innovate to develop modern statement pieces together.⠀
⠀
Double tap if you like innovation! ❤️⠀

De canasta para pan a cartera?⠀
⠀
Sí! Así fue que se diseñó la cartera de palma que se llama Panera, de ahí su nombre.⠀
⠀
Los artesanos de la Tribu Mocana estaban acostumbrados a tejer una variedad de productos decorativos y para el hogar, no carteras o joyas. Así que un día, vimos la canasta para pan y pensamos en posibilidad de unir dos y agregar algún tipo de manija para hacer una cartera, y así fue que este estilo nació.⠀
⠀
De la mano de los artesanos, nos inspiramos en sus creaciones, y usando muchos de sus propios diseños, técnicas y tradiciones, innovamos para desarrollar juntos piezas modernas que marcan un estilo.⠀
⠀
Doble tap si te gusta la innovación! ❤️⠀

There is rich heritage in every stitch!
Did you know that indigenous communities learn their techniques from their ancestors?
One of the reasons we work with these communities is to help them preserve their heritage.
For centuries they have been weaving what they learned from them.
Nowadays they let us co-design with them so our pieces are traditional and timeless but with our approach of contemporary design.
What things have you learned from your grandparents and the previous generations? 👵🏼👨🏼🦳

At Luxchilas we value our heritage. For centuries, indigenous women have used ancestral techniques to create traditional hand woven products.
Their inspiration is nature, so they reproduce their environment through designs with geometrical and colorful patterns.
This art is a symbol of wisdom, intelligence and creativity. Their craft knowledge and their cultural values are preserved as source of social wealth and economic income.
We respect that and want to contribute to preserve the vibrant and exciting cultures from our country Colombia.
Double tap if you value your heritage ❤️

Luxchilas empowers indigenous women to thrive. We are changing lives through continuous work and fair prices.
We've been working tirelessly for years, and we are constantly looking for ways to show the wonders of Colombian craftsmanship to the world.
For centuries these artisans have used ancestral techniques and now we work hand in hand with them, co-designing new products but always respecting their traditions and beliefs.
In addition to this, we have contributed with different organizations and communities by giving back, especially to their children. To date we have donated over 15.000 meals.
Now, one the most prestigious organizations in Fashion, the Accessories Council, wants to recognize this effort with the Social Impact Award.
We are so honored and proud to be considered among the finalists and want to congratulate all fellow participants.
It would mean the world to us, but most importantly to the artisans if their products could be recognized and win in this category!
There are only 24 hours to decide the winner.

Help us give this joy and recognition to our artisans!
Thanks ❤️
