"Creative expression" - Gail. Oregon, USA

“Arte Iraca is the creative expression of Fecundo Ullman and his wife Flavia. Their carved bone, polished stone and macramé jewelry designs are delightfully unique and beautifully executed. The shadings on the macramé petals and the meticulous detail in the bone carvings are astonishing. Fecundo and Flavia are warm and engaging. It’s a pleasure to converse with them not only about their design inspirations and techniques, but also about South American culture and literature. When in Los Cabos take time to visit them at the Pedregal Organic Market – you’ll be glad you did.”

“True artists in the medium of macrame, silverwork and intricate bone carving - all in the form of jewellery.” - Willa. CSL, MX

Flavia and Facundo are superlative, award-winning artists who display and sell their work at the organic market in Cabo San Lucas on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Their macrame is like none you have seen before, some of it with semi-precious stones they have collected from throughout Central and South America.The silver and bone pieces are so incredibly delicate I was really surprised when Facundo told me he carves them with a really tiny saw.The husband and wife team are also exceptionally fine people, more than willing to help one to find just the right piece or to make something up in a special size or color.

Tuve la suerte de conocer Los Cabos para mi luna de miel y en aquel paraiso encontre estos autenticos artistas a los que les compre la mayoria de regalos que traje a mi familia en Madrid. Diferentes tecnicas de tejido y calado, piezas unicas que no se repiten y todo el trato directo con el artista. Mas no podia pedir.

Arte Iraca offers one-of-a-kind hand-made pieces in Alpaca silver, macrame, and, new for this season, carved bone pendants. Alpaca silver is a low-tarnish silver commonly used in Argentina (which is where the artist, Facundo, is from). It is beautiful, durable, and low maintenance. The macrame pieces are designed around a semi-precious stone, the choice of design and colors meant to compliment the particular stone the piece is built around. The bone pendants and delicate, intricate, and graceful, and each design is unique-- hand drawn and carved.Facundo is a true artist, and each of his pieces is a unique expression of his talent. If you are looking for a unique keepsake from your trip to Cabo or gift shopping for people back home, Arte Iraca is the place for you. The pieces Facundo and his wife make are not available at any local retailers-- they are only available direct from the artists which makes them a great value for you.Arte Iraca displays their work at a local Farmers' Markets in Cabo san Lucas and at Palmilla on various mornings. My wife and I were unable to make any of the scheduled showings (they were on mornings that we had activities scheduled), so Facundo arranged for a private showing at our resort. He met with us and discussed his work and the philosophy and concept behind his various pieces. If you think you are interested based on looking at examples of his work, we would highly recommend contacting Facundo directly (through the Arte Iraca website) to arrange a private showing. Facundo is friendly and accommodating, and truly enjoys sharing his vision and passion for his work with others.We are extremely happy with the pieces we purchased, pictured below. Some are great keepsakes from our Cabo trip, and others will make great Christmas presents. The smaller pieces were all under $50, and the two larger ones were $80 and $110. Great value for beautiful work.

When I was on vacation with my husband in Cabo, we came across Arte Iraca. I was looking for some gifts for my three sisters, who love artisan anything... but what I found surpassed my expectations. I found a gorgeous obsidian necklace for my older sister, and beautiful macrame flower jewelry for my two younger sisters. Also, the artists, a young Argentinian couple, could not have been nicer or more genuine people! Definitely felt like I got a great deal and some beautiful gifts for my family! I totally recommend Arte Iraca to anyone passing through Cabo and looking to bring home a special piece of art.

Can you spell astonishingly gorgeous !? Well, turns out it's already quite an understatement to define Arte Iraca's funky bijou. I bought this ravishing bracelet made with original local stones and - hold on your hats- ENTIRELY hand-made which means my piece is unique. If you're looking for quality, uniqueness and hearty treatment, Arte Iraca is definitely your best bet when vacationing in Cabo!

It is very rare to find a true artist. Someone who is not only incredibly talented but also pours his heart into his work and creates something truly special. I feel lucky to have discovered Arte Iraca and whenever i wear their jewelry, I get compliments everywhere I go. Thank you Facundo, for your incredible talent and kindness and for bringing me such joy every time I wear your pieces!

On à découvert les "petit bijoux" d'Arte-Iraca lorsqu'on se baladait tranquillement dans le marché de Cabo San Lucas ( que je vous recommande vivement!). On à tout de suite aimé leurs bracelets ( et moi j'ai complètement accroché avec les colliers!). Le vendeur, un jeune voyageur argentin avec des idées très proches à celles du personnage principale de carnets de voyage nous à charmé avec les explications qu'il nous a donné de sa labeur et de l'origine des pierres... et nous à donné ce vieux bon gout de l'amour de l'artisanat qu'on a un peu perdu outre atlantique!

Conocí y entré al "Mundo de Arte Iraca" porque buscaba algo auténtico, original, distintivo e imaginativo en el arte manual. De imediato me fascinaron las piezas de macrame (pulseras y collares) y las preciosas y sutiles creaciones en alpaca.Es una experiencia extraordinaria haberme encontrado con Arte Iraca. Hacía mucho tiempo que no veía algo tan extraordinario, original y asimismo espiritual. Es un arte auténtico.

Estuve en Los Cabos durante unos dias por un viaje de negocios. Era la primera vez que visitaba Mexico, y quise llevar algunos regalos para mi esposa y mis hijas en Argentina.Conoci entonces a una talentosa pareja que trabajan diseño de accesorios en macrame. Todas las piezas eran maravillosas y originales; me llamaron la atencion la combinacion de los colores y las piedras. Realmente un trabajo exclusivo y unico, nunca visto.Me decidi finalmente por un collar de obsidiana para mi mujer, y dos pulseras con jade para mis hijas.Estoy muy feliz de haber encontrado a estos artistas y poder llevarme algo de trabajo artesanal local.

Flavia & her husband have an incredibly beautiful talent. My daughter and I both bought a piece of their gorgeous jewelry to remember our Mother/Daughter trip and to celebrate her b-day and going off to college. The necklaces we bought, her's coral stone mine onyx stone, were both very unique and different from anything I've ever seen in the States. They are truly artist and two of the sweetest, kindest peop;le I've ever met!! We love our necklaces and have gotten sooo many compliments and inquiries about them. They were set up at our resort "The Pacifica" several nights during our week stay and I'm not sure where else they set up, but their website is www.arteiraca.com
