Connect with the exciting crafts of master artisans around Uruguay.

<p>Uruguay is a land of contrasts, where the cityscape of the capital Montevideo meets the Atlantic coastline, natural grasslands and sandy beaches. As a nation, Uruguay also celebrates and nurtures the traditions and skills passed down from the gaucho, nomadic horsemen skilled in textile and leather work. Today the master artisans of Uruguay find a lot of inspiration in the country’s landscapes and colour palettes. They handcraft their creations with local materials, an urban aesthetic and a touch of folk storytelling.</p>
