Made by hand.
La Pequeña offers handwoven textiles for daily life. Stain them, wash them, and use them again and again.
La Pequeña was started by Sara Collazo Romay, a floor loom weaver based in Kingston, NY.
Sara started weaving in an effort to reconnect with every step of the creative process: from designing, to making a warp, weaving and sewing each of her textiles by hand - using ancient weaving techniques with a contemporary sensibility to create timeless and functional pieces that will elevate any space.
La Pequeña was created to reclaim our every day moments.
I grew up in a coastal city in Spain, where I spent the majority of my childhood crossing the street between my father’s newspaper stand and my grandparent’s restaurant.
I spent countless hours sitting on the floor of the stand, reading every fashion magazine my dad sold, mesmerized by all the color, pattern and beauty. The other half I spent sharing meals with my family at the restaurant. This was the time where I got to see my uncles, aunts, and cousins - everyday at lunch, our full attention on each other.
As I grew up and moved far away, I found myself craving those mundane moments, reliving them in my mind. I realized that those small, seemingly insignificant times were quite literally the foundation of who I am today.
My textiles come from a very personal place. They are memories captured, meant to become part of your every day. They are the smell of your favorite dish, a candle lit, a worn in towel - the pieces of a puzzle that build a life overtime.
