THE CARTAGENA COLLECTION INSPIRATION

Cartagena is a Caribbean city along the northern coast of Colombia known for its preservation of cultural heritage. A place where people enjoy walking the colorful streets, drinking juices made from fresh fruits, and dancing to the cumbia rhythms of this Afro-Colombian gem. 

This collection was inspired by and is dedicated to Cartagena’s culture and people. To the Afro-Colombians who are authors of Cartagena’s contagious rhythms and flavors. To the ancestors and descendents of the land who to this day tend to its natural beauty. To the modern citizen who values Colombian history, handmade craft, and heirlooms.

Our signature baskets are made from fique, a sustainable and natural fiber grown locally in Colombia, resembling sisal or jute fibers. The baskets are carefully handcrafted one by one, taking days and even up to weeks to complete. Artisans use a hand-coiling technique until a full vessel is formed. Designed to reveal the beautiful natural shades of fique, and emulate soothing neutrals found throughout Cartagena is Zuahaza’s new non-dyed and completely organic basket line. As a salute to the pastels and vibrant backdrop of Cartagena architecture, we incorporated salmon pinks, olive greens, and navy blues to this collection’s colorful set of baskets.
