meaningful necklaces

A highlight of Carnaval in Oruro, Bolivia, is the Diablada, an elaborate choreographed dance that dates back to pre-Columbian times. Masked revelers act out a story of good versus evil. Their costumes often include belts decorated with silver coins, a meaningful symbol in this 500-year-old mining city. These overlapping coins are what inspired the pattern on our soft 100% pima cotton cardigan. Available in blues or greys, the sweater features a rounded neckline and a button front.

Celebrate Guatemalan traditions by carrying this vibrant beaded mini shoulder bag inspired by the giant kites known as barriletes, flown to honor ancestors. On November 1st, All Saints Day, Guatemalans take to the skies with the kites to feel connected to those who've passed. Hands of Atitlan's talented artisans channel this meaningful symbol into an exquisitely handcrafted bag, expertly threading glass beads in an array of lively colors. Keep your keys, spare change and other small essentials close while celebrating cultural heritage.
