Tori Kirivöö
This design merges two distinct yet similar cultural heritages: Estonian kirivöö patterns and Wayuu indigenous craftsmanship. Both traditions are enamored with geometric patterns pulsating with hypnotic rhythms - known as "kanaasu" in Wayuu weaving.
Notably, an ecologically sustainable thread is used. This marks a significant milestone because, until now, the Wayuu have primarily used acrylic material instead of natural materials like fique and homegrown cotton used in the past.
