Reviews
Although Caralarga's DNA is 100% Mexican, the idea for this handcrafted jewelry studio was born in Hong Kong, where co-founder Ana Holschneider's eyes were opened to the potential of the traditional artisanal practices of her homeland. Back on Mexican soil, Ana met María del Socorro Gasca, an artisan from Querétaro specialized in jewelry-making, and together they founded Caralarga.
Through their designs, the duo seeks to preserve the essence of natural materials by transforming them into high-quality handcrafted jewelry in a contemporary style.

Very poor explanation, not well presented, going too fast. Didn't always get the process.

muy deficiente en explicaciones técnicas del tejido, muy mala la imagen de la elaboración del producto.
En definitiva no me gusto para nada, he comprado otros cursos Domestica que son maravillosos, este me dejo con un gusto de esto se ve mejor en un tutoríal gratuito.
Valoro que Caralarga utilice fibras naturales y locales y genere valor a la identidad de su país.

Realmente estoy impresionada de la bajísima calidad de este curso. He hecho cuatro cursos más con ustedes y los he AMADO.
Este parece un curso de “cortamos y quemamos”.
Las partes que muestran no son las importantes, como es todos los demás cursos. La información no es clara.
De verdad muy muy disgustada.
