GOTS Certified Cotton
The yarn used is GOTS certified cotton from Peru. So far, most of the native textiles in the Caribbean are made of polyacrylic, for which plastic is needed. By using and spreading GOTS, Mama Tierra not only introduces sustainable materials to the area, but also helps to reduce plastic waste.
Made in Venezuela
This pouch was lovingly made by the Wayuu indigenous people in Venezuela. After Haiti, Venezuela is the second poorest country in South America! But the production of the accessories for Mama Tierra has become a secure source of income for the indigenous people. In the 1970s, Wayuu tapestry or pictorial art was extremely popular. From the Fira de Barcelona to the MoMa in New York, Wayuu handicrafts were on display in museums all over the world. However, tapestry went out of fashion. Mama Tierra's design team has now transformed these tapestries into beautiful pouches and pillowcases.
Swiss Design by Patrizia Stalder
Mama Tierra sets high standards for design, which is why we work with star designers such as Patrizia Stalder from Basel. Patrizia's illustrations were included in the publication "200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 2018/2019" of Lürzer's Archiv, which honors creatively outstanding design from all over the world. Her motifs for Mama Tierra have a recognizable connection to the Caribbean, and not without reason: she takes her inspiration from the Caribbean Wayuu Indians and combines their mythology and art with modern elements.
