Coffa Siciliana
“Coffa” means basket in Sicilian. It is a basket that comes from the Sicilian rural tradition made from straw used by farmers to feed horses and donkeys. The original Coffa is made from straw that comes originally from Palma nana or from embroidered fabric thread.
Perfect for the summer, a day at the beach or a chic evening. The handle and body of the Coffa is embellished with decorations such as jewelry, flowers, feathers, small mirrors, glitter, pompoms and more. The basic color is that of the straw while the decorations must be multicolored. The most used colors are inspired by the Sicilian flag, yellow and red.
Most of the time, the original Coffa is painted by hand representing a Sicilian cart or puppets called Pupi.
All my original coffa is handmade and each piece is sewn individually.
