Yosuzi

Yosuzi uses traditional techniques to create her beautiful straw hats and bags. With a strong emotional tie to her native roots, she was soon introduced to Venezuelan local community leaders and craftsmen who were skilled in the art of hand-weaving hats, also known as ‘Woma’. Patterns that are unique to the tribes of Yosuzi’s ancestors are woven into the hats which are made of 100% Iraka palm straw, harvested from the Iraka palm and can take around 8 hours to weave.
