Folk Shell Vest with Leather

One of the things I like most about this material world is the ability of exceptional women to weave garments with animal and human figures. It's wonderful how they can translate what we see into something material. I mean, it makes you say "wow!" There are fewer and fewer people who have the patience and perseverance to make a vest that takes more than 15 days to create.

We want to introduce you to the folk vest, a vest that I absolutely love because it holds so much history, so many traces woven into its warp and weft.

How wonderful this is; it moves me and gives me goosebumps to see all this beauty.

This is real thanks to Doña Laura, who, with her gift for weaving, manages to materialize everything we had in our minds.

Each vest is a work of art that endures through time. Let's appreciate the artisan work; there's nothing else like it in the whole world.

PLEASE NOTE: no two vests are exactly alike, so there may be slight variations in color tones, and the size of the designs, but only in a subtle way.

Composition: hand-loomed fabric with virgin sheep's wool from the heart of Salta, Argentina.
