We are pleased to announce that Matronas Store is now open. Matronas was founded by Aracely Rúa Cortes in 2021. As a native Colombian hailing from the coastal Pacific region of the country, her passion and abilities as a designer take root in the rich and colorful cultural heritage of its Afro-Colombian and indigenous inhabitants.
Introducing our Crocodile Eyes Earrings!
The word “matronas” carries a very important meaning for Aracely and the Colombian culture as a whole, where the head of the family is commonly a female role.
matrona (noun): single mother, head of family; name gives tribute to the matriarchal (motherly) role in society, commonly a descriptor for a strong woman who leads her family and culture as the giver of life and the sole heir responsible for the wellbeing of her children and grandchildren.
