The Story Behind

  • Maker: Jorge

  • Experience: 6 years

  • Creation time: 3 steps, 6 hours

  • Origin: Oaxaca City

  • Material: Wire and Recycled plastic

Jorge and María Antonieta began weaving out of necessity, quickly mastering the craft with remarkable skill and creativity. Jorge is the hands behind each piece, weaving every curve and detail from wire and recycled plastic, while María Antonieta oversees the business side, connecting their work with the world.

Their journey reflects resilience and imagination. In Oaxaca, where handwoven bags are world-famous, Jorge wanted to take the tradition further, exploring new forms that celebrate everyday life. Today, they focus on creating vibrant kitchen and tableware that combine function with the artistry of Oaxacan weaving, though their beautiful bags remain a proud part of their story.

Every time you take home one of Jorge’s creations, he hopes you’ll remember:

“Every handmade piece holds a little of our time, our effort and our heart.”
