A specialist in all things Latin American and a big part of our latest collaboration with Cabana Magazine, who better to select their ultimate Colombian homeware and accessories buys than Ella Windsor. Ladies and gentlemen, let the stylista's favourites speak for themselves.  

“These voluptuous vessels are hard to resist. They really look like sculptures. While the smaller ones are chic as a clutch or ornament, I’m mad about the large basket in Rojo Diamond, filled with plants in a living room.”

“Salute the summer. I love mine in Scarlet Red, so tightly woven it will last not just this season but many to come. It also looks beautiful as a wall or table decoration.”

“A serious statement piece. I find these to be wonderful gifts be it for summer holidays or Christmas, with their rich colours and festive pom poms. My favourite is the deep midnight blue - ideal for London, day or night.”

“How to choose from such a stunning array of woven placemats? The Sandra is spectacular - in the colours of the spring Cabana range - as is the Nariño. I’m particularly drawn to the flower-shaped Conchita, ringed with petals in pretty rose pink or sultry midnight blue. I think I'd have to add a matching fruit bowl.” 

 

“These clutches are such elegant crafts made with exotic, jungle fibres. I like the Zig Zag Black to match the snappy style of Bogotá.”

“I love my gold 'Coronel Aureliano' fish earrings from Mompox. A happy flash of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.”

 

“I’m very taken with my purple hand-woven pom pom tassel, it puts me in a merry mood each time I see it. These are also brilliant as Christmas stocking presents - I think I’ll go for orange or red.”

 

“The perfect holiday hat. I love the fact that I can roll it up without it getting squished. As chic on the beach as for a late afternoon saunter in a new city.”
