ames la che basket large

The LA CHE - Collection brings you a piece of colombian culture. The Lache, one of many indigenous tribes of Colombia, were known for using an eponymous technique to weave baskets.  In collaboration with the designer Sebastian Herkner, ames is taking up this traditional method, which has been passed down from generation to generation in the Boyacá region.  The material used is fique, a natural fiber made from the leaves of the plant of the same name.
