An Incredibly Productive Journey to Costa Rica...
So excited about the quality and care that went into the sample bags. We spent the week in the workshop at Florencia de San Carlos working diligently on converting my patterns in English to patterns in Spanish and teaching the sewing methods and tricks involved with making each bag.
"Tia Ruth", the foreman of the workshop at HiPn'Verde has an incredible understanding of the process and an eagle eye for the details. She worked her tail off for us and I could not be more pleased!

So, next we deal with import / export issues, finding adequate housing for the up-cycled fabrics in Costa Rica and taking some orders.
Who wants to be the first? Ok, second...we already have one wholesale buyer! Thank you (you know who you are!) Refreshed website and new price and line sheets are in the works. Contact us if you would like to pre-order or if you have any questions. We are also taking wholesale orders HiPn'Verde so click the link and let us know!
On a personal note I want to extend my sincerest thanks to Tia Ruth and her entire family for opening their home and hearts to me. Georgina and Abuelita, thank you for your support and warmth and also for the Travalenguas and so much more. I loved every moment of my time with you all. Natascha Moscoa, my Costa Rican Fellow and soul sister, there you are at the heart of it all, thank you so much for your unending generosity and willingness to share your workshop and family with me.
