COLOMBIA IMPACT
In true Love Is Project tradition, we were incredibly inspired by Colombia’s history, culture, and people. Our colorful LOVE bracelets are handmade by an artisan family from Tuchin, known for their woven sombrero hats. They recently evolved into creating bracelets. Each cuff is made with cana fleche, a tall grass which is sliced into thin strips, dried, colored and then woven into LOVE bracelets. Our Colombia Collection also features our first ever bag line. These unique, technicolor dream bags hail from San Jacinto, Colombia, renowned for its rich history of artisanal textile design and production.
