IMPACT OF THE TOOLKIT
In the last 10 years we have managed to make an impact on the life of more than 7,500 artisans and producers by the creation of design training workshops, which combine fashion current trends and the artisans work with camelid fibers. These systemic changes result in the improvement of the quality and trading of products while developing a camelid fiber industry as source of employment, socio-economic development and sustainable consumption of our natural wealth.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
Our experience with diverse stakeholders places us in a strategic position when it comes to solving problems and obtaining competitive products that apart from generating an impact, they have a real and constant demand.The commercial success reached allows us to reinvest resources to advance in our objectives perfecting our products, generating a commercial success circle.Moreover, our position allows us to add value to our unique and native fiber within a market with consumers highly interested in luxury, elegance.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The production processes of camelid fibers are 100% organic and are made by natural products that capitalize the animal and plant wealth of the region. Furthermore, due to their quality and resistance, our garments have a significant longer life in comparison to other products. They reflect timelessness and universality. Products made with natural fibers need less washing frequency, hence cleaning them requires less resources whereas synthetic fabrics have major degradation in comparison to natural fibers because these are biodegradable. Promoting ancestral techniques results in an ecological, long-lasting product that raises the voice of artisans and entrepreneurs, and provides them with the right tools.
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION
By educating the consumer about responsible consumption, we intend to introduce new paradigms in the committed consumption. We believe that if everyone knows how the process to make clothes functions, there will be a positive change for them. The work we do involves what we wear.
