Crafts to discover Atlantic Coast

In this small cooperative, it is the women who perpetuate the tradition of basketry, which the Caribs would have transmitted to the new arrivals and then to the “neg mawons” who came to take refuge on the hills. To weave hats, baskets, trunks, carpets, handbags, placemats and jewelry, they use two typical fiber plants of the island: cachibou and aroman. Everything is done by hand: harvesting, drying and then meticulous weaving. Try to come in the morning to see them work and watch a demonstration of the weaving techniques.
