Our Materials
At Profaw we pride ourselves on working with a variety of natural and sustainable raw materials, each with its own unique characteristics and qualities. Here is a brief description of some of the materials we use in our products:

Horsehair
The hair from the horse's tail is carefully selected and processed into a high-quality mane, which is then dyed and woven into beautiful patterns. In addition to its beauty, horsehair is a durable and resistant material, which makes products made with it of high quality and last over time. Horsehair basketry is one of the oldest crafts in the area, passed down from generation to generation and a true cultural treasure of the Maule region.

Leather
Leather is a durable and resistant material, which can be used in various products such as bags, belts, shoes and accessories.

Felt
Felt is a compact and resistant fabric obtained by pressing and intertwining wool fibers. It is used to make hats, slippers and other objects.
C
Clay
Vichuquén clay is recognized nationally and internationally for its high quality and beauty. Pottery made from this clay is unique in its style and has a smooth, shiny finish. Vichuquén artisans have perfected their production techniques over generations, achieving pieces that are true works of art. At Profaw, we offer a wide variety of Vichuquén ceramic products, from tableware to home decorations, all with the authenticity and quality that characterizes the clay of this town.

Wool is a very versatile material and appreciated for its softness, warmth and durability.
