“Your vision has the power to choose the extraordinary; clothe yourself in the strength of your roots while you design your own destiny.”

She does not walk upon the earth; she walks with it.

At the foothills of Ecuador’s highest volcanoes, life is measured by the rhythm of sowing and harvesting. This design is a tribute to the Andean woman, the true guardian of tradition. In this embroidery, we see her alongside her clay vessels, under the eternal gaze of the snow-capped mountain that observes all.

Every stitch in the Chimborazo (or the Cotopaxi) tells the story of a heritage carried with pride. These vessels do not just carry water or grain; they carry the wisdom of generations who have learned to dialogue with the cold of the highlands and the warmth of the community.

📜 Our Essence

Iguana’s Secret is born from a bridge built between two worlds. With more than a decade of establishing roots in the United States, yet with my heart always looking south, I decided my mission was to bring the light of the Andes to every corner.

Each piece is a tribute to the hardworking woman, to the artisan who embroiders their dreams, and to the elegance that stems from the authentic. Our designs carry a 100% Ecuadorian soul, created to shine throughout the world.

Creative Director’s Note ✍️

Woman of the Mountain is born from a personal search for pieces that truly speak of our strength. In choosing this design, I sought for the imposing volcano and the clay vessels to be more than just ornaments; they are symbols of who we are: unbreakable beings who protect our own history.

As the Creative Director of Iguana’s Secret, I select each work with the woman who walks firmly toward the future in mind—the one who never lets go of the scent of her land. Today, I choose these stories for you, with the promise that very soon, my own hands will also begin to trace new dreams in every embroidery.

To carry this piece is to carry a piece of the Andes chosen with the heart—a reminder that your strength is as eternal as the snow upon the summit.

✨ Preserve the Magic of your Bag

💧 Cleaning: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap, treating only the necessary spots. Avoid submerging to protect the integrity of the threads.

☁️ Drying: Always air dry in the shade. Direct sunlight can drain the energy and intensity of the Andean colors.

💖 Love: Avoid contact with sharp objects that could damage the delicate relief of the embroidery. Remember, you are carrying a work of art in your hands.

Iguana's Secret Seal of Trust

Connection and Soul: Each Woven Art Tote is a bridge between Ecuador and your world. By choosing this piece, you directly support artisan families, allowing their ancestral techniques to live on. You are not just carrying an accessory; you are carrying a story of resilience and cultural pride.

Artisan Guarantee: At Iguana's Secret, we guarantee that each bag is an authentic piece, curated under fair trade standards. Being a 100% hand-embroidered and handmade product from the Province of Imbabura, small variations in design or color are not defects, but the unique signature of the master artisan who created it—certifying that you own a work of art, not an industrial product.
