COThe clubs of weavers from Barranquilla will participate in Colombiamoda 2026 in Medellín with a collection of handmade accessories made using recycled and sustainable materials. The selected weavers, Ailyn Coba and Mónica Sanjuanelo, were chosen through a selection process that evaluated product quality, voting among the weavers, and interviews assessing knowledge, leadership, and commitment to training programs. Their designs incorporate elements inspired by Barranquilla’s biodiversity and include symbols like the black mangrove flower to highlight environmental conservation efforts. The initiative aims to promote social development, environmental preservation, and female entrepreneurship while showcasing the cultural and artistic heritage of Barranquilla.
