Catalina Ceramic Short Necklace by Cashfana
Did you know that these faces are known as "Testa di Moro" and hide a legend?
During the rule of the Moors in Sicily, there was a charming young woman who lived in Palermo. Every day he used to spend time on the balcony taking care of his plants. One day, a young Moor who was passing by saw her and was captured by her beauty and declared his love for her, which was immediately returned. After some time, the girl discovered that her lover would soon have to return to his country where his wife and children were waiting for him. She then decided to plan her revenge: while he was sleeping, she killed him. And what did she do with his head? She decided to use it as a vase for her beautiful flowery balcony, so that her lover could stay with her forever. It's great to know the stories behind the pieces, right?

Founder
Esther and Maria Fabrega Moyano
We are Maria and Esther, sisters from the Costa Brava region in Spain. After a life-changing trip to Bangladesh and Nepal we settled on the idea of starting a project that would bring handmade high-quality goods sourced from the most remote places on earth. This project is called CASHFANA.
We both grew up and studied law in university, with a special emphasis on how we can use our talents to help those who were less fortunate. For this reason, when we started traveling more often together, we would search for ways that might be able to help the local communities that we encountered on our travels. Soon we realized that selling the beautiful artisanal products that many of these communities made, could really help the families by providing them additional income. After all, if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish… you all know how the saying goes.
