The poncho or ruana has a rich history all over South America. 🌎⁣
⁣
Ruanas were originally made of cotton but after the Spanish introduced the natives to wool their composition transitioned. 🐑⁣
⁣
Today you can find Colombians wearing these wool garments in the higher elevations and the cotton ones in the warmer regions. ⁣
They are worn to sip coffee at a roadside cafe, or barrelling down the freeway on a motorcycle. 🏍⁣
⁣
I wear mine for almost every occasion. I wear them to the beach to keep warm or just cover-up, as well as over my favorite dress for a night out on the town. I love to get cozy in one next to a campfire, or drape one over my couch and use it as a blanket. 💕⁣

How will you wear you poncho?⁣

Our goal is to give back to the artisan community, 💕 to help the community not only by supporting the weavers but by helping the children. We want to give back by showing the children the value of education, but also the value of this beautiful craft that is so important to their heritage. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the past we were able to donate to the community school. This school was located right next to a coal mine and simply falling apart. The playground was jerry-rigged, windows broken, and desks falling apart. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Recently they decided to close this school and build a new one. ⁣⁣
But I have an idea ✨ ⁣⁣
Wouldn't it be incredible if we could gather a crew of people to go down to this sweet sweet village and help this school? Whether it be helping build, paint, set up, or teach. I know that they could benefit from some extra hearts and hands in the community. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If this is something that would be of interest to you drop me your name and tag someone you know that would love to give back. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨Lets dream this up TOGETHER! 🙌🏼⁣⁣

"The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."-Marcel Proust⁣
⁣
Seeing Colombia through the 👀 of my children this past year was indescribable. The questions they asked and the details they noticed are exactly why I chose to leave everything behind. ⁣
⁣
It amazes me that most days they reference something regarding our #radicalsabbatical. 🌎⁣
⁣
We are so blessed to forever have those memories to share together. ☀️⁣

Opening this showroom is both incredibly exciting and terrifying all at the same time. 🙀⁣
⁣
The reason I am referring it to it as my "showroom" rather than a shop or a boutique is because I will not be able to run it in the traditional way one would run a retail space. I won't be able to work there your normal retail hours. Because... well...if you have not noticed yet, I am not very normal. ⁣
⁣
Opening a showroom is going to give me the flexibility that I need to be a mom, work another job, and still keep slowly growing this little business baby of mine! 👶🏼⁣
⁣
I can't wait for this space to be set up and shopp-able so that I can share this big/little piece of my soul with you. So I can put myself out there in yet another creative way which leaves me feeling so vulnerable and self conscious. 😬⁣
⁣
Cause...I like feeling vulnerable and a bit uncomfortable... that's how I know I am growing! 🌱⁣

Having a connection to my Colombian heritage has been the icing on the cake during this entrepreneurial journey. ✨⁣
⁣
You see, growing up I always wanted to be more Colombian. I loved feeling different and special. I loved our summer vacations to visit family, eat arepas, and stay up late dancing. 💃🏼⁣
⁣
As I grew older and stopped visiting as frequently, it always felt like there was this part of me that was dying to show its self, to express the love I had for Colombia; the people, the food, the music. 🎶⁣
⁣
And now I have Mar Y Lana - Sea & Wool. The Yin and Yang of my Colombian and American heritage. And not only does it connect me to my heritage but it helps supports the incredible traditions that are struggling to thrive in this modern world. 🌎⁣
⁣
I have so many dreams for this little passion project of mine and I am so honored to have you following along with me. 💕⁣
