He married young and, for a few years, stepped away from the trade to dedicate himself to his family. Later, she returned to the enterprise, becoming a reference artisan. His specialty was the slatted empreita, a technique with which he produced unique pieces, such as lamps and bags. <\/p>\n

She was one of the few artisans to work with 11 and 13 branch lines, used in large pieces, also keeping alive the tradition of carrycots and baskets. Innovation marked his path, namely by the introduction of slats \u2014 lateral threads taken from palm leaves \u2014 in his creations. <\/p>\n
