This Pataxó leather and seashell jewelry box is handmade in Coroa Vermelha, Bahia.
The leather is worked by indigenous artisans using traditional methods. It is soft and strong and made to keep your jewelry and valuables safe.
The seashells placed on the surface, are collected from the same coastline where the box is made. They come directly from the nearby sea and reflect the coastal nature of Coroa Vermelha.
In Coroa Vermelha, the ocean is part of everyday life. The shells are part of that environment. They represent origins, cycles and the art of listening.
This box is for storing jewelry and small personal items. It connects land and sea in a simple, natural way.
Our founder, Kumba Shakur, traveled from Miami to southern Bahia, to curate the Tales from the Pataxó collection. Each piece was chosen for its symbolism and craftsmanship, offering something you can connect with and learn from. These adornments invite you into other ways of living and seeing the world.
At Tales of the Wind, we remain committed to honoring and preserving culture while supporting the communities and artisans behind each piece.
