LaTienda has empowered, trained and supported many women in a rural village of the Dominican Republic. Many of these women have learned their colours and shapes for the FIRST time while creating these amazing pieces of jewelry.

Photography does not do these finely crafted, beautifully designed necklaces justice. They will add the right amount of " colour-splash" to any outfit. These are the perfect gift to give a girlfriend, sister, mother, daughter, aunt....well you get the idea.

You won't get these ONE OF A KIND items at your local big box store.

Add flare to your style & action through accessories.

The women of LaTienda have created beautiful pieces to add to your accessory collection.

The "Fine Shell Pendant" necklaces are made with exquisite round shells bought by a caring friend of the Tienda in Korea and brought directly to them so they could design some one of a kind jewelry.

One of the most popular Tienda products is their Pendant Wire Necklace. These are sturdy, wire necklaces that are fashionable with anything you decide to wear.

Tienda jewelry. Not just another accessory but a story. One you can share with others when they state "Wow. I
love your necklace!"

La Tienda scarves are a story in and of themselves. Imagine women in the Dominican Republic knitting in the sun wondering why on earth anyone would have use for such things.

Well, we do. These fantastic scarves come in a variety of colours and are currently offered in two different styles.

edeva promotes using scarves as a great way to wrap gifts for people. This reduces the amount of paper used (often thrown away instead of recycled), and is a stylish way to offer a gift.

Long & Thin - $6 (CDN)
Wide and Long - $10 (CDN)
