THE FABRICS
Each product in Casa Modesta is crafted from natural fibers such as Fique and Caña Flecha, along with materials like Cotton, Linen, Leather, and responsibly sourced precious metals like Gold, Silver, and Cooper. Resulting in truly unique pieces.
Fique is a durable, natural fiber extracted from the leaves of the Furcraea plant (often called Furcraea andina), native to the Andean region of Colombia .
Colombian textile fashion is one of the most dynamic sectors of Latin American fashion, gaining global recognition for its authenticity, artistry, and sustainability.
Colombian leather is internationally recognized for its high quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability, with deep roots in both industrial tanning and artisanal leatherwork.
Colombian silver jewelry is a beautiful expression of the country's rich cultural heritage, artisanal skill, and growing innovation in ethical design.
Artisans carefully select, dry, polish, and sometimes dye these seeds, transforming them into unique pieces of jewelry.
Caña Flecha is a tall, sugarcane-like plant native to Colombia's Caribbean region. Its name literally means “arrow cane,” as the rigid central fibers once served to make arrows.
