Products found in Cosecha have all been certified by the national seal of craftsmanship Seyo Nacional pa Artesania. This seal was established by the government of Aruba through the Department of Culture Aruba, DCA, to recognize locally handmade products so they could be distinguished from imported mass produced products.
The DCA, started issuing the Seyo for artisans in 2012, represented by an appointed commission of experts who give out the certification based on the UNESCO criteria for artisan craftsmanship which are: craftsmanship, originality, esthetics, material use, local identity and commercial value. The Seyo is considered a tool to boost Aruba’s creative industry, prompting local artisans to develop more and better locally handmade products.
