Argentina Here we come!

 In a few hours, I will be landing in windy Buenos Aires for a scouting trip. I will join Bettina in the capital city and then we will head to the provinces in order to meet skillful new artisans and collect new wonders for our Winter Collection 2011.

We plan to visit Catamarca, Salta, Córdoba and Santa Fe. Four remarkable provinces that are very well-known for their beautiful handmade ponchos, silver jewelry and exquisite pottery.   

We are bringing our camera so we can share with you every craft-shop as well as all those breathtaking landscapes we expect to come across! Argentina is a land of remarkable beauty. Did you know that Salta, a rather small province located a the NW of the territory, has very distinctive colorful mountains called “the 7 color Mountains’? The view is impressive! You can clearly see the different layers of the ground shinning with its unique earthy tones: pink, green, grey, maroon, yellow, blue and brown. Remarkable indeed!
 
We will be posting after we visit each province, so you can see where our unique hand-made items come from and meet the artisans behind each creation.
 
So stay tuned for upcoming posts as we will be showing some of the treasures we discover.
