Meet our artisan Vanesa
As word has spread and more of you have discovered Rayas and Vanesa's beautiful baskets over the past year, we've had the chance to grow our team. We’re thrilled that Vanesa's mother and brother have joined us, bringing even more family spirit and community ties to this beautiful craft.
Together with Vanesa, we’ve developed our infamous Loco basket, a unique design that evolves each year. Vanesa creatively uses offcuts and leftover materials from other baskets, crafting stunning and unexpected color combinations that surprise and delight us just as much as they do you!
On a recent visit to Vanesa, we were accompanied by Monica Torrento, a talented local photographer based in San Salvador. Monica captured the special energy and intricate processes that take place backstage, showcasing the incredible dedication that goes into making every Rayas basket for you.
