01. Overview

Araguaney is a unique brand offering handcrafted jewelry and bags. It originated in Venezuela and has since expanded to Mexico. The brand name is inspired by Venezuela’s national tree, known for its vibrant yellow flowers. This connection to nature and Venezuelan culture is central to the brand’s identity, providing an organic and artistic touch to its products.


Following the completion of Araguaney’s visual identity, the focus of this project shifted to designing a small, detailed kiosk-style store. This kiosk will be located within a shopping mall and serve as a dynamic, eye-catching space to showcase and sell Araguaney’s products.
