Tienda Fibrarte
by Alex on Jan.27, 2010, under What to do in Bogotá
Indigenous artisanry and hand-knitted/woven clothes
Carrera 3 No. 11-24
La Candelaria
Lucia sells arts and crafts made by indigenous and rural communities from all over Colombia with a philosophy of fair trade. You can pay more for the same wares in branches of ‘Artesanías de Colombia’ in western-style malls, but why would you do that?
Lucia also sells her own hand-knitted and woven clothes and if you are very nice you might be treated to a cup of coca tea!
