Experience South American craftsmanship: plant-dyed textiles, handcrafted jewelry, and the stories behind each piece.
About this Event

Join Codie for a special afternoon celebrating the art, culture, and craft of South America.

Step into a world of naturally made and dyed textiles and handcrafted jewelry, created with alpaca, sheep’s wool, cotton, and ethically sourced materials. Each piece carries the stories of the families and communities who crafted it. The textiles are dyed with plant-based pigments and crafted using techniques passed down through generations. Unlike the synthetic materials flooding our markets today, these one-of-a-kind treasures are made to last a lifetime, heirlooms you can truly cherish.

All of the items you’ll find at this event, including intricately patterned textiles, handwoven goods, and artisan jewelry, have been personally collected during Codie's travels, representing the vibrant traditions of artisans from the Andes, the Amazon, and beyond. Each item is infused with history, culture, and intention.

A short storytelling experience about the crafts and the families who make them will take place at 3:00 PM, but you are welcome to arrive anytime between 3:00 and 6:00 PM to shop, sip Peruvian cacao, and explore the collection at your own pace. Stay as long as you like, shop, sip, and connect.
