Craft & origin

Three questions, kept apart.

A similar geometric pattern proves no authorship. That is why, for every country world, we separate three levels – and say openly on which level a statement sits.

Documented tradition

What museums, ministries of culture, UNESCO and specialist institutions document about a textile tradition. We tell these stories with sources.
Confirmed origin

Where the actual material of a model comes from and who makes it. As long as this is not documented, we name no place and no workshop.
Design inspiration

How a product visualisation takes up a textile idea. Here we speak of inspiration and translation – not of production by a community.

Techniques

Six worlds, many crafts

Weaving, embroidery, cross-stitch and mola appliqué are different crafts. The country worlds show how different they are.

Material

The brown material base

Every model shares a brown, leather-like base with the LÁAK emboss and metal hardware. Earlier documents describe an animal-free material base; more recent ones speak of leather.

We will only commit once reliable product documentation is available. Until then we make no claims about genuine leather or a vegan product, water resistance, durability, care or certifications.
