Sahí translates to Earth in the language of the Los Guahibos, an indigenous Colombian tribe who live and promote a life connected and guided by nature.

A few years ago while travelling, I landed in Medellin with the intention to stay for a few months. Then, over 4 years later, I was still there! I discovered the rich history of artisanal craftsmanship and creativity in Colombia, which inspired me to learn crafts of my own. I started selling in local markets and became part of a wonderful artisan community that few foreigners can say they have had the privilege of experiencing. They welcomed me in with open arms and heavily supported me in the learning of macrame and resin.

My time in Colombia eventually reached an end and I decided to return home to North Wales. I found myself missing Colombia and wanting to find a way to reconnect with these amazing artisans in a way that could benefit the development of their work.

I contacted my Colombian friends and after many discussions, new ideas, and ethical considerations, Sahí was born.
