Moriche fiber chinchorro. The technique for making this chinchorro has been passed down orally for generations. Each thread is hand-spun and assembled on a traditional wooden loom. This long and demanding process prevents any large-scale production. An ancestral know-how that we are proud to offer you.

For the Warao people of Venezuela, the hammock called chinchorro is essential. It accompanies travel, nights spent outside the village, and is part of life and death rites.
The making of chinchorros has been one of the main sources of livelihood for Warao families for centuries. Each piece is crafted by a single artisan, from raw fiber to final weaving.
Buying a moriche chinchorro directly supports the transmission of an ancestral know-how that is now threatened by industrialization.
