The sacred Saguaro that stands is protected and native to the Sonoran desert.

But we have preserved the story of the fallen. Each piece is not only exquisite but unique in what it has witnessed throughout history. She is the guardian of the desert, she represents a profound lesson.
Surprisingly, the thorns of the saguaro, like the flowers, achieve photosynthesis. The thorns collect water, proving that although parched, dry, and under extreme pressure, she blooms.

Showcase her strength as you bring the beauty of rescued history into your home.

The Fallen Saguaro - bring 100 years back to life

Forged, skinned, woven.

There are few things more authentic to welcome into your home than the sun soaked cholla. 

The bones of the cactus are one of the most gorgeous encounters on earth.
The process to expose and unwrap the stunning beauty of natural elegance in each piece parallels an archaeological find as you uproot the bark.

As the dirt gives way to unveil it's natural curvature, we honor each cholla by pursuing it's unique, created pattern. There will never be another.

Born in Mexico, Tucson native. Mayra Alejandra is the only artist who weaves inside cholla and saguaro elements.

"Every weaving is unique because of the cholla. I skin the chollas and honor the natural curvature therefore no piece will ever be the same."
