Our Mission

the power of the handmade

At the heart of everything we do lies a deep and abiding belief in the power of the handmade. We cherish the value of products that carry within them the stories and traditions of their makers, honouring the human spirit through every stitch and weave.

Our commitment to preserve ancient artistry is unwavering, and it's our mission to leverage our enterprise to create a brighter future for artisans and their communities. But it's not just about the past – it's also about embracing the future with open arms, celebrating every detail and living life to the fullest.​

We are committed to responsible practices that result in net positive environmental and social impacts. With a spirit of service and a vision for a better world, we're proud to carry on the legacy of handmade excellence, one stitch at a time.

We are committed to:

Preservation

Deeply ingrained in the fabric of Colombian and Venezuelan communities lies a treasure trove of Andean, Caribbean, Pacific, African and Amazonian ancestral craft techniques, passed down through generations as an essential element of their identity and culture. However, a lack of demand coupled with a dearth of innovation pose a significant threat to their continuity. As proud torchbearers of these legacies, we move to showcase them on a global stage, preserving and nourishing them for generations to come.​

Fairness

Each and every piece in our collection is a co-creation between artisan and designer. We forge profound connections with our supplier artisans, fostering relationships grounded in trust, transparency, and mutual respect. Their well-being is our priority, we pay a fair price for their work and offer extended lead times that alleviate undue pressure. Moreover, we stand by their side when life's natural hardships arise, offering grants and advance payments. Together, we embrace a shared purpose that binds us inextricably.

Sustainability

Environmental responsibility lies at the core of our mission. We hand-make our products using local, natural materials, tracing each item back to its creator. Through sustainable packaging and sea shipping, we prioritise reducing waste, even if it means longer delivery times. As mothers we believe we must leave a better world to our children, and are committed do our part to keep the planet healthy and thriving.
