QUERENCIA CREATIVA
HANDCRAFTED GOODS
Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala
"Querencia Creativa emerges from a passion for storytelling through objects. In this space, we collaborate closely with Guatemalan artisans to craft unique pieces inspired by what impassions and drives us."
CREATIVA
At Querencia, we strive for each rug to narrate a unique tale. We take pleasure in crafting specifically tailored pieces to fit your space and personality. Our rugs are meticulously crafted to measure, with each one designed especially for the client who desires it.
​
Our one of a kind pillows are hand woven, spun and made in San Juan Comalapa by our talented artisans.
The material is dyed and prepared in raw a few days before the making of the final product. Hand spun and woven in Momostenango: Family heritage passed down for over 80 years.
FROM NICOLE, TO YOU...
"One of the many lessons I've learned from this project is that the best things take time.
​
Let's pause to breathe and appreciate everything we have around us. Let's move slowly and calmly.
Let's respect our own time and that of others, just as we respect the time it takes for threads to weave together."
"Querencia Creativa is a vibrant brand inspired by the rich cultural tapestry of Guatemala. Nestled amidst the lush landscapes and vibrant traditions of this beautiful country, we celebrate the artistry of local artisans and the timeless allure of handmade crafts.
​
Drawing upon Guatemala's diverse cultural heritage, our creations fuse traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities, resulting in a collection that is as unique as it is captivating. From intricately woven textiles to exquisitely hand-painted ceramics, each piece in our collection is a testament to the skill, passion, and creativity of our artisans.
​
Committed to sustainability and ethical practices, we source our materials locally and responsibly, ensuring that our creations not only preserve Guatemala's natural beauty but also support the communities that inspire us.
