Guanabana by britt_marie_kbh
Handmade textiles centered around the tactile feel and the story behind them. Exclusively made for britt_marie_kbh
We believe in making few, high-quality items. We are releasing a selection of handmade bags continuously as they are crafted in Colombia – giving our production partners the time to thoughtfully craft each item.
Less trend-driven and long-lasting items. We have a deep commitment to timeless design, always striving to create the best possible version of each product, to ensure you will use and love every item for years to come. All pieces are carefully crafted by skilled artisans, adding soul to each piece.
Making a change in the lives of our weavers. I have chosen Almudena Espinosa as my partner in Columbia. In 2005 Almudena founded Guanabana, with the intention of providing work all year around to all the weavers working for her. I find great interest in contributing to her work.
TIMELESS DESIGN - NO SALE.
Each handmade product is one of a kind. Each bag contains the dreams, labor, income, values and culture of families in remote areas of South America. Because we know the countless hours behind each handmade item - we don’t have sale.
Thank you for stopping by.
As a former student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California I am trained in the intersection between architecture and design.
I believe craft traditions are a celebration of our contemporary lives and our culture, and I find great interest in contributing to the work and life of skilled artisans.
To me, craftsmanship is about people. It’s about the time and the effort the artisans invests in each product. Each product is unique and slightly different from the last one.
britt_marie_kbh is my expression of a lifelong passion for products crafted by hand.
Thank you for stopping by.
