Mother Earth Day, Matrix of Life, 6 Herencias

Since ancient times, indigenous communities have understood that Mother Earth and life are deeply connected. She is not just a place where we live, but our great matrix, the source of life from which we come and to which we inevitably return. In the worldview of the Kamëntsá community, the Earth is a mother, the giver of all we need, and respect for her is a fundamental principle passed down from generation to generation.

Every fabric, every thread we weave into our garments, is a reminder of this sacred connection. The colors and symbols we use not only represent our history and culture, but also our harmony with nature. The cotton, wool, and natural pigments with which artisans work are a tribute to the Earth, a way of giving back to her what she has given us.

In every artisanal creation, ancestral knowledge is combined with sustainability. The choice of materials, manual processes, and respect for natural cycles reflect a way of living in balance with the environment. The Earth teaches us that everything is interconnected: the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the fruits that nourish us come from her.

Our pieces aim to be more than objects; they are a message. A call to remember that we are the earth, that every step we take must be conscious, and that in the end, we return to her. The recycled silver jewelry and our handcrafted garments are a reflection of this eternal cycle.

This International Mother Earth Day is an opportunity to reflect on Mother Earth and life, and how we can honor this ancestral bond with concrete actions: choosing responsible materials, supporting artisanal work, and valuing the story behind each creation that speaks to my experience, that of the artisans, and those behind the making of our products.
