THE BRAND OROPENDOLA

The passion for traditional techniques and the taste for handmade objects made Carolina Vélez's dream of creating the Oropéndola brand come true. The origin of this name is the product of a meticulous selection that contains the pride of being Colombian and the need to publicise the multiple manual knowledge, revitalised through design. Undoubtedly, the hallmark of their clothing and jewellery lies in the visual prominence that characterises them.

Details:

Their colour palette makes reference to an ancestral language based on the environment where raw canvas, terracotta and ochre tones of reign along with tropical colors. The threads are 100% cotton with a resin finish to ensure shine and each piece is crafted to celebrate the curves of the female body.

Materials:

• Large fractions of weaving in front and with interlocking applique.

• BRASS (63% copper 37% zinc)  

• Cotton cord with resin

• 24k gold plated hardware

• Over 120 hours of hand work   

• W:45cm x H:80cm

Care:

• Protect the pieces from the sun, dust and friction with elements that can contaminate it.

• Avoid contact of the jewel with water or substances that contain chemical products because they can stain, dull or oxidise it.

• You can clean your pieces with a soft, dry cloth, and the fabric with a little soap and water, without rubbing too much.

• Do not wash it in a washing machine because the color pigments of the material can fade and will contaminate the fabric, at the same time that they can damage the structure
