Querétaro, Mexico
Caralarga
From a small atelier nestled in an old textile factory in Querétaro, Mexico, a visionary approach to sustainable design emerges. The heart of this innovation lies with our Mexican weaving partners—a collective of female artisans committed to redefining the concept of waste. Their mission is to transform discarded textile waste, recovered raw cotton yarn, and fiber from the indigenous Sansevieria plant into stunning, large-scale textile wall art.
Founded by Ana Holschneider, the workshop is a testament to the commitment to sustainability that extends well beyond its production process. Caralarga meticulously maximizes every scrap of raw material, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. The company’s dedication to sustainability also extends to the local community, where employment opportunities are limited. By collaborating with local women, Caralarga provides fair and sustainable jobs, contributing positively to the local economy.
Each piece from Caralarga is more than just a work of art; it is a celebration of traditional textile techniques and environmental stewardship. The designs blend simplicity, authenticity, and elegance, creating timeless pieces that reflect a profound respect for both craft and sustainability.
