Handmade Chaguar Fiber Bracelet & Silver Nickel | Green Peak

One Size - 6.7 x 2.7 inches / 17 x 7 cm 

Fabric: Chaguar fibers & Nickel Silver — a wild bromeliad plant rooted in the heart of the South American native forest. 

Tecnique: Antique Stitch - Fwok'atsaj ch'otey — meaning "armadillo ears". Ancient technique of the Wichí community.

Each stitch is meticulously handcrafted using a single needle, forming an intricate pattern that mirrors the delicate shape of an armadillo ear. 

Deep in the Argentine Gran Chaco region, the Wichí women are the keepers of an ancestral craft. With their own hands, they harvest the finest fibers of the chaguar. Each fiber is hand-spun, naturally dyed, and woven with extraordinary precision. The secrets of every stitch and pattern are whispered from mother to daughter across generations, ensuring that no two pieces are ever alike.

What you hold is not simply an accessory. It is a rare, living work of art.
