About Us

Kiskadee Design

Kiskadee Design comes from our deep love for things that are made by hand, the stories they tell, and the amazing people who make them. It is also about bringing people together and helping them learn about each other through handcrafted pieces.

The Value of Handmade

While many pretty things can be bought, buying something handmade is about more than just the thing, it is also very much about the person who made them. A handcrafted piece tells a story, it can preserve cultures, sustain villages, and even protect lands and plants.

Travel Memories

This story also comes from our love for making a beautiful place of our home. Whenever we traveled we always came back with something for our home. Some unique piece that would forever remind us of the place it came from. Even without thinking about it, we were always leaned towards unique handcrafted pieces. There is something incredibly special about holding a piece in your hands and knowing that there is no other like it anywhere in the world; of knowing that someone, somewhere made it by hand and that it somehow still holds their energy.

Our Heritage

We have been lucky to have been born in Colombia, South America, one of the places with the richest artisanal craft cultures. Our master weavers have for centuries created unbelievable pieces, that have been recognized worldwide for their techniques and quality. For all our lives, while traveling through this country we have learned about the pieces; where they are made, who makes them, what they are made of, and what they represent.

A Celebration of the Artisans

Kiskadee Design was, therefore, a perfect place for us to explore and share our love for home décor through handcrafted pieces. Making sure that anyone who visits us will be able to see beautiful pieces, made with love by hand. All our products have been sourced directly from the artisans; this is a celebration of them, it is a way for us to do what we love while helping, promoting and honoring the women and men who created these pieces which are a reflection of their customs and traditions, so that they might be shared with others. Each piece is made by hand and therefore unique. They are all made ethically using all natural fibers and dyes.
