Louise Vogel is a national treasure. You can see her handbags and baskets in the Santa Lucia market square on sundays or you can get in touch with her and visit her workshop. Here you can learn a thing or two about Hennequen and weaving.
One of our guests was ripped off recently. Jeff went out on his own and bought a guayabera. A couple of days later we were frantically shopping for gifts for the kids and he came across the same shirt for $15 usd and he paid $60 at a shop across the street.
Mo & Katinka bought a hennequen hammock after an hour of bargaining they were happy to pay $150 usd. When they proudy showed it to us we told them it was cotton and worth $20.
