Zelaya Spring/Summer Accessories coming soon!

After working long hours to finish our Bridal line, we are finally getting ready to launch our Spring/Summer Accessories line! Most of our accessories are made with the historical fabric Manta. Manta is a fabric made out of raw, unbleached, and unprocessed cotton. It has a soft texture and a weave that allows high circulation of air. Manta has been widely used for more than a century in El Salvador, from the early indigenous groups that occupied the area to its modern inhabitants. These accessories are all made in collaboration with talented women artisans from the small town of Panchimalco, El Salvador.

Take a peek and tell us what you think!Women of Panchimalco are also known for creating beautiful flower arrangements for ceremonial events. Skills that are handed down from one generation to another. My mother and I are extremely proud to collaborate with such great artists and artisans!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Zelaya Mosaic

We will be offering a new collection of items at Zelaya starting August 17th!

Zelaya Mosaic is a collection of Zelaya styles that we could not reproduce due to their intricacy or due to limited raw materials. We have also included limited edition pieces we worked on in collaboration with other artists, as well as inspirational pieces and vintage finds we have collected throughout the years. This is a very special collection of uniquely and beautifully made items that embody the mission and spirit of Zelaya.

Thought I would give you all a small preview:

Have a beautiful Tuesday you all!

 

Want to know a bit more about Zelaya?

Just wanted to share with you all and interview I had with Jen Wallace, creator of the beautiful art and design blog Indie Fixx.

“Indie Fixx is a lifestyle blog with a very healthy mix of indie design love, crafting and diy, some gardening and cooking mixed in with plenty of commentary and a healthy dose of joie de vivre.”

I talk a little bit about how the business came to be and everyone that made it happen. You can click on the indie fixx banner to access the interview. Hope you enjoy it!
