About Us

                            

Madre Hija Design is a contemporary handwoven jewelry brand made by Textile Designer Caro Toro. I design statement pieces out of upcycled vintage beads, Japanese and Czech seed beads, fair trade beads, semiprecious and precious stone beads.

My intention is to make beautiful, elegant and bold jewelry through conscious design that takes in regard our natural world and its resources. Madre Hija Design holds pride in its sustainable  practices, we purchase rare novelty, vintage, hand  carved and fair trade beads, as well as supporting  local shops. We create handmade to order in order  to reduce waste and our carbon footprint. All our  mailers are made from 100% recyclable materials  and made in the US. Our pieces are artful and high quality artesanal luxury items, hand made with great care and love.  

Caro Toro is the artist behind Madre Hija Design, she graduated with BFA from the University of Puerto Rico, then continued her education at The Fashion Institute of Technology, studying textile and surface design.

Learning many techniques in weaving she fell in love with the process and its intricacies. Later in life weaving became her meditative practice that little by little is finding its place in the industry of jewelry. 

Caro Toro is a native Puertorican that currently lives in the city of Austin Texas with her husband and two kids.
