Our Story
West Macrame is a brand that combines design and craftsmanship, whether macramé, weaving or crochet. The accessories are specially designed and/or selected for women who love fashion and design, with boho style connected with nature and all forms of art.
The designs are inspired by the energies of all things and the correlation that exists between good vibes, the attractions of similar energies and respect for the universe and the environment and for all beliefs.
Inspired by this, our designs are “regalos del Universo” (#regalosdeluniverso) gifts from the universe. We believe in the power of manual creations. Handmade things have significant symbolic mentions and are direct transmissions of love and creativity. Therefore, our values could not be different: love, creativity, nature, design and respect.Our accessories are designed and inspired to be a #giftfromtheuniverse.
Our mission is not to make women go unnoticed in any place or circumstance. It’s making all women feel special and unique, raising their self-esteem. We believe in the beauty and strength of women and our mission is to highlight that and remind them of that: (#youareinfinity) you are infinite.
West, because we came from the West of the United States, which also inspires us with deserts, country style, canyons, rock sculptures of nature, in addition to the history and origin of the West and its indigenous peoples, their designs and patterns.
West Macrame was created by Graziele West, a Brazilian Designer from São Paulo, who currently lives in the United States and teaches Macramé – in Portuguese – on her Youtube channel. Soon, we will have Macrame courses and tutorials here too!
MANIFEST
BY GRAZIELE WEST
My love for macramé started when I learned to “weave” and various threads of life that weren’t connected started to connect. Like that red thread of fate that connects one end to the other, that leads from one place to another, two threads that are tied with knots and send us to purposes.
Macramé for me was a #regalodeluniverse because through it I was able to see further. I united with several nodes what would be my purpose in life, which is to make/create things and designs. I’ve never felt so “at home” with one creation coming after another in my head and that’s how Macrame tutorials on Youtube started (in Portuguese).
But fashion and entrepreneurship were also ingrained so that – along with Macrame – and the fusion of these elements came West Macrame and bag designs.
One thing I noticed with Macrame is that I have always been a designer, I studied Architecture, Furniture Design and design has always been the guiding thread of all this. West Macrame comes from a passionate idea to create, create more and more and more #regalosdeluniverso.
“Tightening the knots – literally – reminds us of the symbolic message of each knot: unbreakable bonds, deep commitment and eternal friendship. Intertwined threads and linked rings of different knots have been used for centuries as pronouncements of love and unity.”
BH&G, volume 100, pg 10.
And those words – those exact words were the biggest inspiration – and the biggest yes received – of life synchronicity, I got those words – they came to me when I decided to create West Macrame. And they are part, thank you BH&G, of the entire Manifesto that is the brand, which once again forces us to say that we have received a #regalodeluniverso and that we are infinite #youareinfinity.
