Carried across borders, made by hand.
Cacao Designs started in Houston in 2020 with a simple idea: make pieces worth collecting and keeping for a lifetime. Each one is built by hand from authentic stone, leather, and metal, carrying real materials and real stories — made for people who treasure one true piece that holds a memory.
“Every piece has already lived a little, before it ever reaches you.”
I’m Gabriela — I left Venezuela and started Cacao Designs at a kitchen table in Houston, wrapping leather around stone the way I’d seen done for generations back home. I make for people who collect places and carry them close — the kind of traveler who wants a piece with a story, made by hand and meant to last.
Houston is home now, but Venezuela is where it started: bold color, mixed textures, materials sourced with care. The inspiration goes back generations — and every piece is one of a kind, so each person wears a story all their own.
Built to go where you go.
Every way to wear a Cacao Designs piece is the right way. Wrap three at once, mix stones across collections, layer a cuff over a passport-stamped wrist. They’re built for daily rotation — new cities, long flights, the market stall you almost walked past.
That’s the whole point: old-world technique, made to be a keepsake for people who collect the world one true piece at a time.
What we stand for
Every design draws on color, texture, and meaning — each one shaped by hand from its own inspiration.
Genuine stone, real leather, quality metal — chosen with care for every piece.
Every piece is singular — made for people who love to own something truly their own.
