About the Collection

The Mono Araña, also known as the Spider Monkey, is a relative of the Howler Monkey in various regions of México. According to Mayan legend, during the creation of the natural world, the gods fashioned wooden beings without souls. Incapable of worshiping their creators, these creatures faced the wrath of the gods, who sought to eliminate them by turning nature against them. Despite the divine plan, a resilient few survived by seeking refuge in the forests, where they evolved into monkeys.

Beyond its role as a symbol of survival, this primate becomes a crucial figure in the natural order, particularly as a provider of cocoa, the sacred seed. The interdependence between Spider Monkeys and cocoa plants reflects a harmonious relationship where both entities benefit. The cocoa plant extends its sweet and delectable fruits to the monkeys, who, in return, facilitate the dispersion of seeds through their natural activities, contributing to the cocoa's life cycle. This intricate connection establishes Spider Monkeys as custodians of the sacred cocoa, emphasizing their association with the fertility and perpetuation of this cherished plant.

CARLOTA was founded by brother and sister, Gerardo and Daniela. Their story begins with their grandmother, Carlota Camacho Hall—a recognized painter in the 1800s whose artistic spirit now lives on in the heart of their brand. Carlota's passion for art and her deep connection to the vibrant culture of Mexico became the guiding light for CARLOTA. As descendants, Daniela and Gerardo carry forward her legacy not only in name but in the craftsmanship that defines each of their leather bags.

CARLOTA weaves the threads of family heritage, artistic inspiration, and Mexican tradition into every stitch of their finely crafted leather bags. Their designs are a canvas with the colors and patterns of Mexico's rich tapestry. The landscapes, traditions, and folklore inspire every detail of their leather bags. 

As you explore their collection, you're not just purchasing a bag; you're becoming a part of the Carlota journey. Every piece is not just an accessory but a work of art. Join us in celebrating family, art, and the cultural richness of Mexico with each carefully crafted leather creation.
