31. chevere means: Handwoven Treasures with Gabriela Sacconi from Élope - a podcast by Dani Bao

We're joined by the talented Gabriela Sacconi to talk about her brand, Élope—featuring hand woven pieces at the intersection of art and design.
Gabi is a visual artist which translates in her pieces, both in the jewelry and clothing she creates. She uses materials that have the possibility of transformation, and is inspired by expansion and contraction to reflect the ways in which we move, migrate and interact with our environments and other beings that co-inhabit our spaces. All of her pieces are hand made and one-of-a-kind, and she works closely with techniques that require intricate attention to detail and care.
In this episode we talk about her journey from art school in the US to moving back home to Colombia to pursue Élope, and how it’s naturally progressed and grown with the support of her community. Gabriela has such a beautiful perception of nature and finds inspiration in things such as the changing states of sunlight to create her pieces. We’ll chat about this and more on the episode! Please follow Élope to keep up with their new creations and if you're in NYC visit Tumbao to experience these pieces in real life.
