INSPIRATION
Whether for decorative elements, comfort, or function, our pillows embody the luxe and leisure of Cartagena.
This pillow by Zuahaza is our hybrid of nautical stripes and red coastal decor. Whether you choose to make it a single statement piece, or paired with neutrals or bolds, it’s a classic choice.
Old colonial homes in Cartagena were built with handcrafted ceramic tiles. You can still appreciate and admire its craftsmanship today in restored homes throughout the town.

Tatiana Ordoñez and Veelie Alba
Zuahaza was founded by Tatiana Ordoñez in 2019 in Colombia. In 2018, Tatiana made a trip to Charalá to learn about the rich history of cotton growing, spinning and weaving in this region. During her trip, she met with Corpolienzo, a cooperative of artisans. Together, they decided to create a new line of textiles, born of the artisans’ extensive knowledge and of Tatiana’s desire to share creative, innovative textiles with the global market.

Zuahaza means “my sister” in the Muisca language of the people who lived in the Cundiboyacense mountain region of Colombia. As a social enterprise, Zuahaza strives to embody collective sisterhood between women in Colombia. Following an era of intense conflict, which continues to shape and affect Colombia today, Zuahaza seeks to participate in the peacemaking efforts to reunite and heal our country.
Zuahaza strives to connect women from across Colombia, and to create unique products that reflect our diversity, history and dreams as statements of the unity and peace to come from Colombia. This is what sisterhood means to us.
