Artesanías del Atlántico Boutique in Barranquilla: Ancestral Art & Modern Design
In the heart of Barranquilla, the Artesanías del Atlántico Boutique is a space that celebrates and preserves the talent, resilience, and creativity of over 250 artisans from 23 municipalities in the department. More than a store, this place is a true cultural treasure where each piece tells a story and reflects the soul of the region.
Here, you'll find an astonishing variety of products made with over 23 different artisan techniques, ranging from the palm weaving of the Mokana people of Usiacurí to wood carving and crafts made from totumo and enea. Their creations include baskets, bags, accessories, jewelry, decorative items, and kitchen utensils. Each object is a unique, handmade work of art, crafted with local raw materials like iraca palm, bejuco vine, fique fiber, and driftwood brought by the Magdalena River to the coast.
The boutique not only offers the opportunity to acquire a special souvenir; with every purchase, you are directly supporting 4,000 artisan families in the Atlántico. It's the perfect place to connect with the region's cultural roots and take home a piece of its history and tradition.
