mochilas&rdquo; or traditional bags, the people of Zenu produce accessories using their surprising vegetable fibre <span style="font-weight: bold;">ca&ntilde;a flecha</span>,  the people of the village <span style="font-weight: bold;">La Chamba</span> produce the beautiful black ceramic using the same technique of their ancestors, the women of <span style="font-weight: bold;">San Jacinto</span> weave their hammocks in the same vertical weaving loom that has been used since the Spanish conquered South America.<br />However, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Colombianoz </span>also has many new works of art : the work of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tagua </span>or the &ldquo;<span style="font-weight: bold;">vegetable Ivory</span>&rdquo; that was already well known at the start of the 20th century but which is now being used to make jewellery such as necklaces and bracelets.<br />The objective of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Colombianoz </span>is to promote the creative expressions and rich culture embodied in these unique items of hand craft of our craftsmen and to ensure that the artists also benefit from the fair trade practices that we follow.<br />We also wish to tell the story of these men and even more so, the women who live simple lives but who  work with love and courage to make these items and to show the true face of Colombia, that has not been stigmatised by violence.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="360" width="460" align="middle" src="http://www.colombianoz.com/images/Image/Image/accueil/ildadilia1(2).jpg" alt="Dilia and her baby" /><br /><br /></div>]]></description>  <guid>http://www.colombianoz.com/colombianoz-pxl-9.html</guid>  <pubDate>2007-11-15 01:58:37</pubDate>  <SKU>9</SKU></item><item>  <title><![CDATA[Fair trade]]></title>  <link>http://www.colombianoz.com/colombianoz-commerce-equitable-pxl-8.html</link>  <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fair trade</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><font style="font-family: Arial;">We work mainly with established and recognised foundations, cooperatives and associations that all undertake projects that help </font>the &ldquo;fragile&rdquo; population of Columbia: single mothers, indigenous populations that have suffered violence, homeless, persons that need to be re-integrated back into their society. Above all, the humble female workers who work hard but are happy to work with their weaving loom and lovingly produce their craft.<br /><br />The prices for the items have been established by the artists, and represent a fair and equitable payment for the high level of quality and skill to produce their work.</span></span><font size="2"><br /><br /></font><font size="2">Unlike regular commercial practices, we pay the craftsman 50% of the order when the order is placed.<br /><br /></font><font size="2">For all the items we ensure that the correct conditions for their production are respected; children and other vulnerable persons have not been and will not be exploited. Finally throughout the entire process, the local culture and environment are always protected.<br /><br /></font><font size="2">Exported directly from the craftsmen, the many levels of intermediaries usually found for the sale of such items are removed with the craftsmen themselves benefiting directly from this and, above all, favours the creation of long lasting relations with the craftsman.<br /></font></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font size="2"><br />Colombianoz was very happy to be present at </font><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><u>the European Fair Trade Fair</u></span>, in <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lyon, last october.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.european-fair-trade-fair.org">www.european-fair-trade-fair.org</a></span></div>]]></description>  <guid>http://www.colombianoz.com/colombianoz-commerce-equitable-pxl-8.html</guid>  <pubDate>2007-10-17 13:55:05</pubDate>  <SKU>8</SKU></item><item>  <title><![CDATA[Our partners]]></title>  <link>http://www.colombianoz.com/nos-partenaires-pxl-4.html</link>  <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><u><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">The partners of Colombianoz</span></strong></u><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">.
