Cottonwoods have long been associated with the Rio Grande along whose banks the tall trees flourish. They flower in the spring as the river floods its banks and their leaves come out in the heat of summer. The leaves have a unique flash and shimmer in the cool breezes that run along the life giving river. The brilliant display of a peacock opening its grand feathers is a sign of luck and well-being. If you happen across it while strolling along the trails beside the Rio Grande you are double blessed. The resilient peacock makes a home wherever it goes offering beauty and inspiration. 1 1/2” wide and 2” drop, stainless steel earwire and components.
Karole, Grady and their son, Henry, make up a leather studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Their work is a 'mescolanza'. A blending of Karole's Lithuanian heritage, Venezuelan upbringing, and Northern Californian education with Grady's New Mexico roots. Oropopo's collections draw deeply from scientific, historical, and environmental themes, blending function with desert literature. Every piece is a dialogue among the designer, the wearer and the collective history of the Southwest.
