About Adoros

Hand-Made Shawl

At Adoros, we have a commitment to bring you unique hand crafted items that are a pleasure to keep or to give. We bring you shawls, hand-made dolls, museum jewelry and other hand crafted pieces from Colombia.  True luxury is about having something handmade, not mass produce.  Shipping is Free!

My husband, Labrador Bourbon and I live in San Diego, California. We've had many opportunities including the ability to travel. Among our trips taken is a return to my native country of Colombia at least once a year.

A few years ago, I began taking note of the compliments I always received on the clothes, jewelry and other home decorative items brought back. I realized these items were not only beautiful and noteworthy for their handcrafted quality, but they were also quite unique. Busy with my career and family, I decided to explore retail outlets for these items and I am happy to report that many museum sites carry them. I developed this web site for Adoros to make easy for stores and individuals to purchase these products. If you are a retailer, click on wholesale to request a quote. If you are an individual just browse the product catalogue and order.

Colombian handicrafts are an authentic expression of the country’s regional identity and cultural diversity reflecting the sensitivity and creativity of its people. It is a country of forty two million people, with over one and a half million artisans, reflecting pre-Columbian, Spanish, Mestizo and African heritage in the wide variety of designs, materials and techniques used. During the past 30 or 40 years handicrafts have become a significant factor in the Colombian economy.” (Source: Pro-Export Colombia).

Occasionally, you can find one-of-a-kind ceramics, textiles, baskets, or other art, hand picked during trips to Colombia; visit our "Hand Picked" section for other decorative collectibles such as handpainted tiles or click on shawls to learn about other type of shawls and their history.
