In 2016, Monica Arbelaez and Juliana Quintero, mother and daughter, passionate about design and fashion, restless admirers of manual work and craftsmanship, decided to get out of their routines to create PALMA CANARIA, a unique and innovative accessories brand 100% handmade in Colombia made of natural fibers.
Mónica, business women with over 20 years of experience in the Banking sector, and Juliana, business graduate with emphasis on Marketing, created together PALMA CANARIA, to shape their creative visions and promote #AmorPorLoNuestro.
The Colombian tropics have long been the inspiration for some of the most beautiful crafts in Latin America.
We reimagine this legacy to create designs that evoke stories of our culture through natural fibers from endemic plants such as Iraca Palm, Bejuco, Esparto, and Copper Thread. All pieces created by Palma Canaria have been consciously crafted by our artisans and selected to ensure they meet at least one of our eight key attributes.
These attributes consider animal, human, and environmental welfare, aligning with internationally recognized best practices in the fashion and beauty industry. We are proud to work with artisan families in four different regions of Colombia, where we source the finest eco-friendly materials. Every decision we make is a symbol of our commitment to shaping the future of fashion.
We believe that modern luxury is about rediscovering artisanal traditions in a luxurious, fun, and versatile way. We are a brand that reaches women of all ages who want to feel that they have obtained a piece made exclusively for them.
