"none is like the other"
when you buy a basket from La Ciénaga, you take home a unique object. that is why we number them. each piece has a distinct character and a story that begins long before it reaches you.
using our market baskets means carrying with you a little piece of identity that is carefully crafted in Colombia, by artisans, at an altitude of over 2,600 meters—in a páramo climate, 365 days a year—.
that is why we want you to use them not only in summer. break the rules, take them to the beach, but also to the office, on a trip, or to a wedding—you decide when.
moreover, since they are made from recycled PVC fiber, they can withstand anything, helping to prevent plastic waste and contributing to improving the quality of life for many families (although it should always be that way),
and they will last you a lifetime!
NO GENDER
regardless of who you are or where you come from.
NO SEASON
beach, office, rain, travel or party.
NO AGE
for any age: yours.
who are we?
a proposal that seeks to put the traditional basketry of the Colombian Cundiboyacense high plateau on the map, created by local artisans through upcycling.
why upcycling?
because in the creation of our baskets, we use a waste material that has reached the end of its useful life (the strapping or PVC fiber), and we transform it without industrial processes into utilitarian and aesthetic objects, giving it a new purpose and avoiding generating waste. in the swamp, there is no greenwashing, only slow fashion. what we are is what you see.
"we create things that work better and last longer. our objects solve real problems, with clean design and honest materials."
TAKE US HOWEVER YOU WANT.
