The Purpose, Our Story

TONSUCA…. Stories Behind Art & Design

Hello!!! I'm Paola! Owner and Founder of this lovely brand called Tonsuca. A beautiful project that was created with passion and love.

It all started properly in 2015, as a crazy idea and with the intention of a change, a big change that makes sense in this planet and thinking about how to lead and leave a better space for my beloved ones.

“I have been always surrounded by great artists, designers and artisans, with so much to give to this world”.

That’s when the idea of supporting Independent young talents and bringing good and unique handmade, meaningful and sustainable art begins.

Tonsuca’s soul and life is inspired in indigenous tribes of South America, specifically Colombia, with amazing and detailed handmade and artistic skills from the culture and its artisans many years ago.

Tonsuca’s word comes from the “Muisca” language, an indigenous tribe and community called “ The Chibchas” in the center of Colombia; in it’s own language means blossom, prospering and birth.

Tonsuca is a project that strongly believes in bringing sustainability through design, and value the hard work, patience and inspiration of every artist involved. We want to make sure that every piece keeps its beauty and soul, it’s own original concept of creation, and give a positive ecologically impact to our planet, our HOME SWEET HOME.

“There is always something to say, there is always a story behind every piece of art we have in our hands. Life is full of memories and experiences and art has a strong voice and it has been shouting for hundreds of years”.

Our goal is to invite and encourage people to open their mind but more than that everyone’s heart to every piece or art from our great local and international artisans, who also work with sustainable minds in the purpose to keep alive our mother Earth.

Thanks for dropping by and for your meaningful purchases giving hope and motivation to every single artist who works with us...

Sending Love… Paola ❤️
