VELVET & Co.Verena Berlisg loves the visionary selection of items, to create something new with erstwhile garments or decorative elements. During her periodic travels to Central America, Verena has fallen for precious pearled bracelets hand-woven by indigenous Mayan women in Lake Atitlan in Guatemala’s Highlands. Drawing upon the master weaving techniques that have been a part of their culture for generations, these women skillfully handcraft these beautiful pieces, combining contemporary designs with ancient traditions. Very often, indigene women in Central America cover their arms and legs with these multi-coloured pearls: beyond the symbolic value of this jewellery, it is also incredibly decorative. By combining these eye-catching treasures with noble velvet, unique allure offers once again one-of-a-kind bags. Each pouch bag is unique & the motives of the pearled ornaments vary from graphical to flowered. Everything that Verena designs is crafted with great attention to detail. |
