Lena Kitchen Apron - Linen Blend

Based in Envigado, in Colombia's Antioquia region, Tallo de Olivo creates and distributes artisan products it calls everyday treasures. The company works hand in hand with artisans from different communities, and women make up more than 80% of its workforce.

Tallo de Olivo describes each of its pieces as handmade. Its aim is to inspire warm, welcoming spaces through the small details found in every piece.

The company says it seeks to pay artisans a fair, market-based price for their work, with reasonable delivery times for each product. About 80% of its pieces are made entirely of fibers, wood or stone, and it works to keep its packaging recyclable and its use of plastic as low as possible.
