Why are our straps so special?

One of Kon-dor's mission was to support artisans in Ecuador through our designs, we wanted to mix their creations with ours, we knew it would be a challenge, but we also knew this mixture would convert into beautiful, unique, one of a kind products. We grew up seeing these beautiful handmade textiles called ‘fajas’ that were used in traditional costumes for wrapping the waist or hair and thought that they could be our start point. After much thinking and testing we discovered that these long pieces of art where not only beautiful but also very strong and could serve not one but many purposes in our designs just as they do in Andean cultures.
An example of how fajas are used in the waist on traditional Andean costumes.
‘Fajas’ are usually handmade using a combination of patterns and colors. If a ‘faja’ was made by a different person the slightest change in a thread changes it as whole. Finding two ‘fajas’ that are exactly the same is almost mission impossible which means that finding a Kon-Dor bag exactly as yours would be a very hard task, so don't even try, simply enjoy your bag.
Uniqueness is our motto and so should yours, no person is the same, we are all one of a kind, so why should your bag be any different?
Buy products that not only look great but that have a story, a mission.

KON-DOR Travels, Cabo San Lucas
May 06, 2016
or if you love real Mexican food and want to get a taco that is the real deal you need to try LA TAQUIZA or LA TAQUERIA EL BUEN PASTOR they have no website, this should tell you just how genuine and good they are.
Ask for directions they are both in Cabo San Lucas.
What to do?
If you are feeling very adventurous we think you should definitely swim with whale sharks. They are amazing gentle giants that will give you the experience of a lifetime. Try booking in advance (you get a better deal this way). The most recommended company to do this with is CABO ADVENTURES if you are not really into this kind of stuff, they have other really cool activities....
All in all we think Los Cabos is an amazing place with delicious food and weather so if you are thinking of going somewhere this summer you should consider Cabo San Lucas.....
