Located in the Casanare Department in northern Colombia, the Mardue artisans craft exquisite baskets using fibers harvested from the Moriche palm, a species that grows in and around swamps and other wet areas in tropical South America.
Located in a remote reserve, these artisans have to travel two hours by mule to reach the closest city of Arauca. Due to the weak phone signal in the community and the fact that their home is not reachable by public transportation, these artisans are faced with logistical and organizational challenges that result in limited access to steady work and consistent orders. Currently, most of the family income comes from farming as well as products they’re able to sell during the annual artisan fair in Bogotá.

The Mardue artisans’ principle tehcniques consist of a structured type of basketry as well as a more flexible one created by hand using a needle and a crochet type stitch. Traditionally, the women would craft these bags and gift them to their husbands to carry around tools and other objects, and were thought of as being sacred
For this limited edition capsule collection of clutches we integrate the work of two local Colombian communities. The Guna Dule indigenous community of Caiman Alto and the Kankuamo indigenous community of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta which have tie-dyed textiles for the first time as part of this new collection.
Large enough to exhibit the richness of the Kuna textiles, our signature clutch/crossbody bag is perfect for everyday use yet not too big to be used in the evenings. It fits large phones & wallets, and even an iPad mini and comes with a detachable leather strap.

ARTISAN TECHNIQUES
All of the Kuna Textiles are made in Colombia in the Caiman Alto Reserve by Mola Sasa's artisan women partners of the Guna Dule community. For generations the artisan women have passed down an ancient appliqué technique of hand sewing cut-out layers of fabric to form an intricate piece of art. Each fabric is the specific design of the artisan woman who carefully works on it. The Guna culture, beliefs and traditions can be found woven into each composition. Some depict stories, animals or daily scenes while others offer a more abstract design. The Kuna Textiles are then brought to England where they are crafted into cushions. Each one is backed with Wicklewood’s namesake fabric and our signature contrasting trim is added to make each piece even more special and idiosyncratic.
