andean collection antisana lookbook 2011

Hi all!

Here at Andean Collection we have been busy traveling between South America and New York, finding inspiration with new materials and in new design techniques across Ecuador. We are excited that the size of our collection has doubled, not only with the addition of new jewelry, but also with hats, scarves, rings, and new styles of belts.

In this collection, you will see how indigenous weaving techniques and patterns are incorporated into modern designs for the Infinity Scarves. Geometric-shaped tagua and bullhorn rings in vivid gem tones recall the urban-chic aesthetic of New York City and Quito, while util izing local, natural materials. The Lola Hats are showcased in bold, fun colors to celebrate the styles worn by the indigenous cultures of Ecuador. And finally, we now offer more everyday, versatile designs with our Inspiration Belts.

By expanding our line, AC has been able to increase our community of artisans, putting them on the same path to prosperity that our original artisans have traveled. Now that we have 501(c)3 status for our non-profit arm, we are also expanding our services to the broader community. By providing educational scholarships and small business consulting programs, we are able to support well balanced economic growth locally.

I am thril led that the growth of Andean Collection has created sustainable change in these rural communities in Ecuador. Please contact us if you want to get involved!

Cheers,

AmandaFounder, Andean Collection
