Diseño de bolsos ejecutivos inspirados en la iconografía de los chumbis de Chibuleo

Abstract

The iconography woven into the chumbis has been for many years a representation, a symbolism of the expressions existing within the Chibuleo people. These motifs woven by artisans are similar to an author's design, since their designs are unique and they are made only to adorn their garments. Currently the icons in the chumbi. They are being left out for multiple reasons, among them the scarce heritage of weaving artisans from Chibuleo. Technology has also somehow facilitated the process that is carried out to make the fabric, but not the motifs, since they are all made by hand. That is why it is necessary to generate an iconographic corpus to preserve part of the regional identity in the collective memory of society. From the design it is possible to work modestly in pursuit of the consolidation of the regional identity, working on the local graphic and object substance, without wasting the advantages of technology. The development of this project is based on the design of male executive bags with reworked identity elements of the chumbis Chibuleo, which are laser cut, embossed and sublimated. Currently handbags with different ethnic motifs are being developed, but the regional identity exceeds folklorism, the typical, the crafts; the search for identity has been done through copying, without recreating the forms that show a positive evolution. With this, a stereotyped reproduction of morphologies is repeated, causing a massification of products. Therefore, the recovery of social memory is necessary, aiming at a cultural product that reinforces identity processes. That is why the following research is developed based on innovation techniques to generate spellings, taking as reference the iconographic forms and the meaning of each motif, at the same time that it is disseminated and encourages society to continue carrying out and teaching their knowledge. ancestral in the tissues. This proposal is a small contribution to the development of artisans, it will also function as a source and channel of work that values iconographic diversity.
