Maybe you don't know what a Poschti is. I also didn't know when I was a job as a seamstress KoKoTé started. But maybe you found out that it has something to do with shopping. For me, who lived all my life in a city called Cali in southwestern Colombia and only spoke Spanish until I came to Uri with my husband in 2020, it is a little more difficult. There is a tiny difference between "I ga ga poschte!" And "Me Voy de Compras!" ....
In any case, Poschti has become my Kokoté favorites and I even do it myself. As a political refugee, I came to the Kokoté workshop and completed the vocational training EBA here in the summer of 2024. I am really surprised at how interesting my work is and how a simple piece of fabric or leather with the sewing machine and the skill of my hands into a nice, funny, elegant accessory mutates that accompanies our customers in their everyday life ... and I said that I love "Ga Ga Poschte", especially now that we say - or we say Swiss German - slow Jeannine ... my strict and lovable teachers!
Well, shopping can also be an exhausting sport. Otherwise sport is not my passion, but I like to put all my furniture in the living room aside and dance salsa. This is the rhythm that I learned from my father ... We practiced it every time there was a party at home ... and there were many parties despite the devastating political circumstances. Salsa really makes my heart beat and fens a whirlwind of memories in my head. Colombia ... where a completely different wind blows than here in Uri! You cannot imagine how much I guess, to wake up, open my window and to see the high Urner mountains and the changing colors of the seasons before my curious eyes ... and then the noise of the Reuss that weighs me at night. I finally breathe fresh air and feel peace in my heart. I only have one goal, namely to learn much more about how I can do my work with excellence and passion and bring the level of manual level to its limits!
Unfortunately, we have too little space in the shop to do a round of salsa ... How would I have liked to feel the rhythm of the very special Colombian salsas, which is of course much more exciting than the New York or Caribbean salsa. But no matter, I love to show you as we have at KoKoTé Make excellent handmade everyday bags made of ecological materials and beautiful, natural, traceable leather!
Just ask me ... I'm a Beatriz!
