Meticulously hand-woven over two weeks at the Verdi Workshop in Colombia, the Metallic Woven Verdi Mochila bags are presented in pure copper and silver-plated gold threads in two weaves: Seashell and Pineapple. Each weave symbolises nature, strength, and an infinite legacy that has passed through generations of Colombian master artisans. With its hand-knit facade of metal threads and elegant linen lining, it is truly a beautiful piece to be coveted.
The story of VERDI began in the Colombian mountains with Carlos Vera Dieppa, a pioneer in Latin American textile design, who with the help of a local coffee-sack weaver, developed a revolutionary weaving technique with metal threads. Now, his children, Tomás and Cristina, are reviving his craft with their brand VERDI as an ode to their late father’s family name: Vera Dieppa.
