Reviews
Mapi Casafranca is a business manager by profession and a textile artist by vocation. Passionate about handmade products since she was little, every fiber she weaves for AMARENA, her sustainable artisan brand, is thanks to the afternoons she spent weaving alongside her mother and grandmother.
AMARENA arose from her interest in natural materials and a desire to keep the tradition of ancestral weaving alive through accessories. Today, Mapi’s brand is committed to fair trade and sustainable production that combines the traditional techniques of Peruvian artisans with carefully designed finishes.

Me gusto mucho, creo que el orden cronológico de como planear un proyecto estuvo muy bien detallado, facilitando el inicio y final de un bolso practico y bonito. En lo personal me ayudo como una terapia para relajarme y dejarme llevar por mi creatividad. Además fue un lindo regalo para dos de mis personas favoritas.

Makramee kannte ich vorher schon. Aber die Inhalte die hier geteilt wurden bzg. Moodboards, Skizzen, Verpackung usw. haben mir sehr geholfen. Diese Dinge habe ich für Atelier Rubi gleich übernommen. Vielen Dank dafür.
