"After seeing some baskets, I kept asking my river for better and better examples, Geoffrey Orley said. We kept going deeper and deeper into the Darien Rainforest, visiting countless Panamanian villages until we found a small coterie of hugely gifted women creating baskets with the most amazing technique I'd ever seen."

We work with the Wounaan Indians, who set the world standard. They construct each hand-sewn, coil-constructed basket in the 'hosig di' art form that has been passed from mother to daughter for generations. The 'peynado' technique the woman use results in the finest and most sophisticated patterning of the genre. These baskets are renowned for their exquisite quality.
