Kipu

Materials and Craftsmanship

As with all Xauen Original collections, the Kipu Collection is based on high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather from Spain. This leather, processed with natural tannins in tanneries with centuries of tradition, is the material that distinguishes genuine handcrafted accessories from the synthetic or bonded leather products that flood the mass market.

Design and Aesthetics

The aesthetic of the Kipu Collection reflects Xauen Original's constant pursuit of designs that balance artisanal authenticity with contemporary style. Each piece is designed to be timeless without being boring, original without being extravagant, and handcrafted without being archaic.

Exclusive Xauen Original Adjustment System

The bracelets in the Kipu Collection use Xauen Original's exclusive leather loop system: adjustable to any wrist between approximately 15 and 23 cm, allowing the bracelet to be put on and taken off without undoing the knot.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Kipu and why did it inspire this collection?

The Kipu was the information recording system used by the Incas: cords of different colors with specific knots that encoded numerical and narrative data. It is a system of writing through touch, through the knots. The Kipu Collection is inspired by this idea of ​​the knot as a carrier of information and memory, translating it into the handcrafted leather bracelet.

Do Kipu bracelets have functional knots?

The knots on Kipu bracelets are primarily decorative and structural elements, although the loop and leather knot closure system is functional and allows for size adjustment.
