artisans are the backbone of andes
Andes is proud to work with different artisans from the Andes to bring you the most beautiful treasures all the way from South America to your home.
We source the artisans directly and work collaboratively with them to design the products we offer. The creative process is a collective one, where we embrace their knowledge and wisdom. Weβre proud to call our artisans partners our friends.
Each piece is unique and has a story to tell. When you purchase an Andes product, youβre bringing a bit of the Andes to your home. But youβre mainly supporting communities, families and livelihoods. Youβre protecting traditions and empowering generations to preserve their weaving techniques. Youβre protecting the planet.
our treasures come from different parts of the Andes
The Andes are vast and characterise South America as a whole, but weaving techniques and traditions change from community to community. Weβre proud to work with artisans from different parts of the Andes - from Mapuches in Patagonia to Wichis in Formosa and Chaco, weβre constantly looking for new partners. Beyond the Andes, we work with talented hat-makers from Buenos Aires - where Argentinian leather comes from. But it isnβt just Argentina, we work with artisans from Bolivia and PerΓΊ and are working on new partnerships with artisans, craftsmen and craftswomen from Ecuador and Colombia.
