This collaboration has a positive impact on the communities as it creates jobs and the artists get an opportunity of keeping their traditions alive.

Paper mache

Consuela bags are made in Mexico with the paper mache traditional technique. The company’s paper mache products are handmade by artisans in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. This work of delicacy is the result of a cooperative led by artist Pedro Hernández. It was 37 years ago when Pedro started his paper mache workshop. Paper mache is being used for over a hundred years to create Alebrijes and dreamlike creatures combining animal shapes with colors, incredible forms, and textures.

The techniques used by the artist to make sculptures and art objects are similar to what was used by the original school of paper mache. It was originated by the master Pedro Linares (the creator of the ‘Çartoneria’ technique: craft paper, glue, acrylic paint, newspaper, paste flour, white from Spain, water, anilines, wire and mass of newsprint). The sole purpose is to bring these substances to life. Pedro’s design philosophy revolves around the idea of transforming the everyday environment with his art. His inspiration from nature and animals brings joy, optimistic energy, and color to his art objects. The artist believes in transforming neutral environments with the help of his art sculptures, rich in colors and textures, and the strength to change everyone’s spirits.

Embroidery

Consuela bags are made in Mexico using iconic embroidery that runs deep into the culture of San Gabriel Chilac, Puebla. This traditional technique of making unmatched Consuela bags involves many people from the community who are skilled at this art using the means of drawing, sewing, and weaving. Esther Mendoza is the artist who brings the community of artists together in San Gabriel Chilac, Puebla to support each other by teaching the learners, collaborating with specialists in specific crafts, and creating work that gracefully speaks for their artistry.

The artists begin the process with the stamping of fabric with the help of molds that have been used by their ancestors. The whole San Gabriel Chilac’s embroidery procedure creates a strong bond between families in particular and the whole town in general.
The embroidery artists are compelled by their design philosophy; ‘embroidery is an expression of happiness and creativity for their community’. The artists are fond of playing around with colors creating innovative and unique variations of their designs using different color contrasts and combinations.

Chaquira beadwork

Consuela bags are known for their charming chaquira beadwork. It is made with hand-carved wooden figurines. This traditional technique is time-consuming as each bead is glued one by one with an adhesive but the end result is worth every effort.

The artist Maurilio Renteria, (from the State of Jalisco, Mexico) is an innovator who learned chaquira techniques from his father at the age of 5. He established his own workshop at the age of 23. He is a committed artist working extensively to preserve Wixarika art by strengthening Wixarika artists. He is a devoted participant in artisan conferences where various practices are shared with the aim to educate, promote, and preserve traditions.

His design philosophy is based on the belief that when he makes those figures for cultural practice, he meditates. He believes that when they integrate their techniques into new designs, they separate the ritual symbolism. Along with him, his community also believes that they still manifest and hope that the beauty will be adored by the one who holds it.

Weaving

Consuela bags are manufactured in Mexico and weaving is the art that makes Consuela one of a kind company. Using specific color combinations and emulating memorized patterns weaving is done by hand. It is crucial to hold the starting point tightly because multiple loose pieces are directed one by one to create one solid piece brimmed with colors. Rosa Gomez (San Juan Chamula, Chiapas) is an artist as well as an entrepreneur who is working along with her community to manufacture delicate woven pieces.

Her devoted services help in preserving the art form and create multiple job opportunities. She travels from her town in Chiapas to the other parts of Mexico to train local artists and assist in the process of distribution of their work along with her own work.
