Kumpia Choker

Each choker is handmade by female artisans from the Peruvian Amazon, guardians of knowledge passed down through generations.

The process begins with the seasonal collection of seeds in the Amazon rainforest. After the harvest, the seeds are carefully cleaned, sun-dried, and stored until they are ready to be transformed.

They are subsequently dyed using natural pigments obtained from Amazonian plants. Achieving each shade requires experience, patience, and a deep knowledge of the local materials.

Once prepared, each seed is individually drilled using precision tools. This delicate process must be performed at the exact point on each seed to prevent breakage, requiring meticulous work carried out entirely by hand.
The seeds are then woven one by one following artisanal patterns using high-resistance waxed thread, giving shape to the final structure of the choker.
Behind each piece is a network of more than forty female artisans who work from family workshops in their Amazonian communities. The most experienced members constantly pass on their knowledge to new generations, helping to preserve traditional techniques that are part of their cultural identity.
