Silk + Coca Earrings - Dorada
€55,00
Silk thread and natural pigment earrings from coca leaf, handmade with delicate and sustainable craftsmanship. These earrings combine contemporary design and ancestral tradition: the upper part is hand-crocheted, while the silk threads flow soft and free in the lower part, creating a light, refined, and dynamic effect.
Each pair is made with 100% pure silk, naturally dyed with pigment extracted from the sacred leaf of the Andes, enhanced through an innovative sustainable textile dyeing process. This method gives unique shades, demonstrating the versatility of the leaf as a material for textile design. On silk, the colours have a unique and elegant brilliance.
The earrings feature hypoallergenic steel components, ideal even for sensitive skin, ensuring comfort and durability over time.
These creations are born in the heart of Cauca, Colombia, where local artisan women handcraft them through an ethical project that promotes female autonomy and values the use of the coca leaf as a natural textile pigment. The precious work that brings these fashion items to life embodies stories of tradition, sustainability, and positive social impact.
These natural silk jewels are a unique piece born from ethical design, embodying the encounter between beauty, tradition, and responsible innovation. At Chisakui, we deeply love this project as it uses a raw material that has long been criminalized, demonstrating just some of the many benefits it can bring to a community, depending only on human action and use. A true jewel and gift from Mother Earth.
