Alliant tradition et modernité, les bijoux textiles .. raïz .. révèlent textures et couleurs contrastées en conjuguant subtilement la fibre aux métaux et aux minéraux.
À la fois délicate et audacieuse, la collection trouve son originalité dans la simplicité délibérée des détails de fibre nouée et des teintes vitaminées.

5 out of 5 starsThese are unique and gorgeous! They're not too big as I don't like oversized earrings. I've already gotten many compliments and I'm really happy with this purchase.

5 out of 5 starsMy earrings were exactly as presented in the ad. I had been looking for bronze/brass coloured metal earrings and they were hard to find. These were unique and in my choice of accent colour. Definitely a positive purchase!

. One tiny knot at a time .
Hello! My name is Mélanie and I am the head, soul, heart and fingers behind each tiny knot of .. raïz .. since 2008.
My journey as a "micro-macramé artisan" unexpectedly sprouted on top of a cliff (litterally) in 2007 while wandering Northeast Brazil. At the time, I was fleeing the promise of a "successful career in translation" back home in Montreal, to follow my intuition, test my destiny... and improve my Portuguese!
Little did I know that this voyage would completely change the course of my path and that .. raïz .. would take root into my life for the years to come.
Slowly but surely, I managed to turn my mysterious passion of knotting into a mighty-micro-business attuned to my lifestyle.
Being an instinctive and self-taught artisan, non-entrepreneur to the core, this all happened very gradually, with a good dose of dedication and determination sprinkled throughout the years.
In fact, back home in Montreal in the summer of 2008, I was very minimally involved with anything of the online world so I carried on with the brazilian hippie vibe and I started 'squatting' around town to sell my creations, teaching myself the trade little by little. For about 3-4 summers I secretly cycled my way up to this gorgeous viewpoint overlooking the city where I would sell my craft to tourists and fellow citizens (that's where an American tourist told me about Etsy; thanks to whom I opened my shop!) I loved it: pedaling my way up through the Mont-Royal's lush green path was blissful, it kept me active, and as a bonus I earned money doing what I liked while soaking the sun in. For the time being, I made myself a really free and happy person with that formula! Until I was expelled and encouraged to register for an "official city vendor permit" to hold an "official" booth in the downtown district. A major change of scenery... So I bought a small cargo trailer for my bicycle and started pedaling my way, down this time, to the hot, noisy and smoggy sidewalk of Ste-Catherine street; where I would set-up my booth from spring to fall for the following 5-6 years... or until I got seriously fed-up of the downtown turmoil and cacophony.
That's when I shifted the formula again and tackled the world of craft fairs, shows and markets, all the while fulfilling the growing Etsy orders!
It's been a long, fun and winding road and I'm glad I followed my rythm and intuition all the way. With the years gone by .. raïz .. and I morphed together. The collection has deliberately evolved towards clean lines and simplicity, by focusing on subtle fiber details, textures and pops of colors. And zillions of tiny knots later, I keep crafting each piece . one tiny knot at a time . with the utmost attention to detail.
Through .. raïz .. I wish to offer women af all ages captivating adornments that carry a poetic twist, a soul; jewelry that pique curiosity and celebrate each woman's uniqueness, beauty and spirit.
Thank you so very much if you are still reading to this point!

Frequently asked questions
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR JEWELRY
All pieces are knotted with a high quality waxed polyester string. Such string is often used for shoemaking and upholstery, therefore the jewelry is very sturdy and durable despite its daintyness: no fraying/no fading and colours do not run if wet.
►You can even clean your jewelry if need be! Use a small brush (such as a toothbrush) with a drop of soap and water, then rinse and pat dry with a cloth.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES
I strive to create quality pieces that last and I put a lot of time and attention to details into what I make. If for some reason you are unhappy with an item you have purchased, please do get in touch with me so we can work out a solution together.
