Discovering the past through craftsmanship: the treasures of the artisans of San Jacinto

It is not said often enough, but craftsmanship allows us to travel back in time and discover unique know-how, such as that of the artisans of San Jacinto. It reveals the textile culture of certain communities and tells us about their way of life and traditions.

A 100% handmade Colombian hammock

Our "Santa Marta" XXL hammock is huge and extra soft. It is woven on a vertical loom by the hands of the artisans of San Jacinto, in Bolívar, who express their vision of everyday life through different patterns and color palettes. This luxury hammock is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Made from extra-fine thread, it retains its color over time, even in the sun and after washing. Its dense and very tight weave offers firmer comfort, and its fringes add all the elegance. Made 100% by hand, this hammock may have slight imperfections.

The symbolism of the hammock and the passage of the soul

In certain indigenous communities, when a person dies, their body is placed in a hammock in a fetal or lying position, because the hammock symbolizes the womb or the placenta of the earth. The Wayana-Apalaï of French Guiana, Suriname, and Brazil believe that the soul of the deceased leaves the body and follows the hammock cords up to the roof of the house. The hammock is suspended from two posts or shrubs planted in a pit, and the deceased's personal belongings are arranged around. The pit can be dug under a miniature hut built for the occasion, or in the deceased's own hut, which is then generally abandoned and sometimes burned. Among the Yanomami of northern Brazil, the deceased are cremated in their hammock and then buried.
