"New home gift"
This is a gift I sent to my nephew who just moved into his own place in Limassol. He appreciates unique accents and when I showed him this, he told me that it would look very special on his table.

"Lovely bag"
This bag is unique with hand-woven fabric in unusual colors that make a nice design. It is well made. However, the bag is a bit short for my phone. It goes in but I cant zip it. I can still use it by putting the zipper side against my body.

"This Sling Purse is Wonderful!"
This sling purse is just wonderful! I love the colors, orange and cream, the weaving is very tight, it is well made, and the braided strap just sets it off perfectly. The Salones do very good work, and I will enjoy this bag for years.

"Appreciation of Latin American essence"
This is a gift for a Cypriot friend who I met for the first time this past week. For her to have a unique hand made addition to where she will be residing, has touched her heart in more ways than can be described. She has never owned a unique piece of art from Latin America and the region;.in Europe, to have a precious reminder that will each day will mean so much more. Im happy to share our traditions with those who know art and the hands that made it.
