By Danilo's Editorial
"Un Jardín de Yojoa" — a collection in collaboration with El Armariohn, inspired by Honduran landscapes and the flora of Lago de Yojoa.
Danilos presents "Un Jardín de Yojoa", a collection inspired by the jewels of our country in collaboration with @elarmariohn.
The Inspiration Behind "Un Jardín de Yojoa"
"The inspiration behind my collaboration with Danilos is based on my love of nature. Recreating details of Honduran landscapes through my drawings (specifically their flora). These are influenced by one of the most beautiful lakes of Honduras; Lago de Yojoa."
— Marcela Zacapa from "El Armariohn"
Inspirational Elements
Mano de León (Philadendro sellum)
La Mano de León is a plant used as an ornament due to its beautiful and unique green vine-like leaves. She lives in warm areas with cool temperatures like Lake Yojoa, Honduras.
Ave del Paraíso (Heliconia)
The inspiration behind our leather tag Heliconia, designed in the shape of the Ave del Paraiso, is that this plant attracts the hummingbird, due to its red, yellow and orange flowers, thus helping the pollination of its kind as they collect nectar via their unique and perfectly shaped beak.
We have collaborated with Marcela Zacapa to create designs inspired by our local Flora & Fauna. Designing the Mano de León and Heliconia blade as fine complements to leather accessories.
