What Hecho en Jericó is known for

Hecho en Jericó has made carrieles, the tooled leather satchel that originated in this Antioquia town, for more than fifteen years, offering both machine-sewn and hand-stitched options. The workshop also sells wallets, shoulder bags and waist pouches, all 100% Colombian leather.

Hecho en Jericó has made carrieles — the tooled leather shoulder satchel that originated in this Antioquia town — for more than fifteen years, and the workshop's own branding leans hard on that geography: 'Hecho en Jericó,' made in Jericó, on a shop that also states its goods are '100% Cuero,' full leather, made '100% en Colombia.' Buyers can choose between machine-sewn pieces and a hand-stitched option, cosido a mano, priced separately — a distinction the workshop states outright rather than treating hand-stitching as a hidden upcharge. Beyond the classic carriel, the range extends to wallets, shoulder bags and waist pouches carved from the same leather, plus regional pieces like aguadeño hats, ponchos and coffee that round out a Jericó-made assortment rather than a single product. The shop ships nationally and internationally rather than limiting itself to walk-in visitors to the Antioquia workshop, and leans on customer testimonials framed as 'historias reales, calidad real' — real stories, real quality — as its own proof rather than third-party reviews. For a shopper who wants the original carriel form from the town where it started, made in leather with a choice of stitching method, this is the workshop that leads with both the origin claim and the construction detail most competitors leave vague.
